Handpan D Minor 9-12 Notes - Stainless and Nitrided Steel

Handpan in D minor in stainless and nitrided steel - two materials, one instrument

This model brings both worlds together: the tonal brilliance of stainless steel and the warmth of nitrided steel in a single shell. The result is a tone with a bright attack and a warm decay. D minor, with 9, 10 or 12 notes.

Two materials, one voice

The upper and lower half shells are made of different steels. The attack sounds clear and present, the decay soft and round. A character a single material does not reach on its own.

D minor: versatile and forgiving

This tuning works in almost any setting: alone, in a group, in recordings. All models are in our D Minor Handpans collection.

Hand tuned and individually checked

Every tone field is worked by hand and checked before dispatch. Small visual differences between two examples are normal and intended.

Kurd D minor is where most players start: warm, meditative and approachable from the first touch. Celtic D minor is more melodic, Amara more open and weightless. All three sit in D minor and none of them contains a wrong note.
