Experience Handpan

Aside from the fact that every pitch must be accurately tuned to 440 Hz (on request also on 432 Hz), the various undertones and overtones must also be considered.

It is the same idea as a “well tempered piano.” In addition to the fact that each tuner has his or her own “signature” when tuning, it is also up to the tuner to what extent he allows slight tone cross-overs, parallel overtones and slight dissonances. These allowances ultimately make the meditative sound that makes the instrument so irresistible and gives it its “soul.”

Handpan tonalities

There are countless tonalities that we can create on a Handpan . It is important, of course, that all of the notes fit together. There are scales. Many of them are pentatonic, or scales with only five tones. It does not matter which scale you have. The main thing is that you like it. Also, it does not matter how many pitches are on the Handpan. You can just play.

There are traditional tunings from distant countries. For example, Melog Selisir and Ake Bono are from Asia and Hijas and Puvri are from Arabia.

D minor, E minor etc. are scalesthat are more familiar to us in the West.
Additionally, you can change the order of the pitches in a key to change the feeling.
For example, D minor in the model “Pandora”:
D / A, Bb, D, E, F, G, A, C
or
D minor in the model “Storia”:
D / A, Bb, C, D, E, F, A

We havenamed the different tunings and arrangements of tones.
E minor with eight notes is called, for example, “Sonoro”
D minor with nine tones is called “Pandora”
D minor played by Storia on YouTube is called “Storia”

There are even customers who come up with their own wonderful tunings, which we are happy to custom build.
