Handpan Kurd D Minor 9-12 Notes - Nitrided Steel

Handpan in Kurd D minor in nitrided steel - depth and warmth in one instrument

This handpan brings together the most popular scale in the world and the warmest material in handpan building. Kurd D minor on nitrided steel sounds fuller and earthier than it does on stainless: an instrument for anyone who would rather feel sound than hear it. With 9, 10 or 12 notes.

Kurd D minor on nitrided steel

The combination gives a dark, velvety fundamental with clear overtones and a sustain that fades slowly and evenly. Particularly valued in sound therapy and meditation. More Kurd models in our Kurd Handpans collection.

A nitrided surface: harder and protected

Nitriding hardens the surface and protects it against corrosion. An instrument that can be played every day. The characteristic dark colouring is part of the material, not a layer of lacquer.

From 9 to 12 notes

9 notes for a quiet start, 10 notes as the best balance of simplicity and expression, 12 notes for more advanced playing. At 440 Hz, or at 432 Hz for sound work.
