Handpan Kurd D Minor 9-12 Notes - Stainless Steel

Handpan in Kurd D minor in stainless steel - the most played scale in the world

Kurd D minor is the tuning most handpan players begin with, and the one many stay with. Melodic, deep, with a sound that develops almost by itself. This model from the Origine range is our most affordable way into a hand-tuned stainless steel handpan, with 9, 10 or 12 notes.

Kurd D minor: why this scale convinces people

Kurd joins melancholy depth to an unusual lightness. You need no knowledge of notation: rest your hands on it and melodies appear. Ideal for meditation, sound work, relaxation and playing together. All models are in our Kurd Handpans collection.

Stainless steel, tuned by hand

The stainless steel shell gives a bright, carrying tone with a long sustain and holds its tuning for years. Before dispatch, every instrument is individually retuned and sound-checked.

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.
