Buy Eclipse D Aegean Handpan

You are cordially invited to immerse yourself in the magical world of sound of handpans, and at an unbeatable price! The "Eclipse" series was developed to provide an affordable introduction to the fascinating world of handpans. Our Eclipse series is perfect for beginners who don't want to invest €1800-2000 straight away.

The Eclipse Handpan offers ideal sound quality at a unique price. When developing this handpan, we paid attention to the best possible sound quality and tuning stability in order to guarantee the best possible price-performance ratio.

Why are the Eclipse Handpans so cheap to buy?

It has always been important to us to make handpans of appropriate quality affordable for those on a tight budget. This was and still is no easy undertaking and simply not possible for less than €1000 if a minimum standard of quality is to be guaranteed. However, as more and more cheap offers of low-quality "handpan drum instruments" under €1000 are flooding the Internet, we felt it was our responsibility to finally offer an alternative and, together with one of our manufacturers, KitaPantam, we have developed an ideal handpan that stands out in terms of its price-performance ratio. The low price is the result of optimized processes as well as time and cost-saving factors.

Are you looking for a cheap handpan? Then read this article:
-> "Buy a cheap handpan? Why I shouldn't buy a (too) cheap handpan"

It is important for us to say: The inexpensive Eclipse Handpan is no substitute for a high-quality instrument in the higher price categories. If you want an even finer and more sophisticated sound and a particularly versatile and varied handpan, you should look at the Handpan.World range in the price range between €1500 and €2300.
Our rule is: the more expensive, the higher the quality of the handpan instrument.

Eclipse Handpans in different tunings:

We want the Eclipse models to suit every musical taste, which is why we offer the Eclipse Handpans in various tunings with the basic notes D, E, F & F#. They are available in both minor and major tunings. We also offer oriental and exotic scales for the Eclipse Handpans.

Eclipse Handpans in minor tunings:

  • Celtic Minor / Amara ( Aeolian minor, Hexatonic) - Basic tones: D & E
  • Kurd ( Aeolian minor, heptatonic) - Root notes: D, E & F#
  • Low Pygmy (Aeolian minor, pentatonic) - Basic notes: F
  • Ursa Minor ( Hexatonic) - Basic notes: D


Eclipse Handpans in major tunings:

  • Sabye (Lydian major, Heptatonic) - Basic notes: D, E & F
  • Aegean (Lydian major, pentatonic) - Root notes: D


Eclipse Handpans in exotic tunings:

  • Hijaz (Oriental, Phrygian Dominant, Heptatonic) - Root notes: D, E & F#

Eclipse handpans made of nitrided steel:

Nitrided steel is the original material from which handpans are made. It all started with nitrided handpans. When the first handpan drums came onto the market around the turn of the millennium, the stainless steel and embersteel handpans that are so popular today did not yet exist. For many years, handpan lovers were interested in nitrided instruments. And not without reason. The fine, penetrating sound of steel leaves plenty of room for careful listening. The slightly faster decay of the sounds makes the playing more percussive and rhythmic, and also more lively. The sound of nitrided handpans could also be described as earthier and more bass-heavy.

Experience the "Eclipse" series and let yourself be inspired by the magic of handpans. Handpan World invites you to become part of this harmonious journey.

How do I properly care for my Eclipse Handpan?

Handpans made of nitrided steel require regular renewal of the protective layer on their surface. Applying a special care oil for handpans creates a patina that protects your instrument from the effects of salts, acids and moisture. This prevents rust and discoloration of the material and ensures that the original surface appearance is preserved for a long time. When caring for your handpan, use a very soft microfiber cloth to avoid scratches. To ensure that your handpan is well cared for, we recommend one of our handpan care oils or care sets .

Before you apply the handpan oil , you should definitely remove any accumulated dirt, such as grease, salts and acids, with a high-percent cleaning alcohol. This will prevent the care oil from mixing with substances that are harmful to the steel and having a negative effect on the material despite the supposed protective layer. You can get cleaning alcohol such as isopropanol in any drugstore and many supermarkets, or you can easily order it here from the Handpan.World online shop.

Neglected care can lead to flying rust and even deep rust formation, especially in the case of nitrided handpans. Weekly care of your Kita handpan is therefore essential.

Important instructions:

  1. Never store your handpan in a bag.

  2. Wash your hands before each game.

  3. Clean and care for your handpan every 1-2 weeks

Mood description: Aegean
Standard pitch sequence: D/ F# AC# DF# G# AC#
Atmosphere: Bright - Light - Sublime
Tonal Center: DING
Mode: Lydian - Major
Tone range: Pentatonic


Semitones: 4 - 3 - 4 - 1 - 4 -2 -1 - 4

In the South Indian Kartan music called "Raga Amrithavashini", the Aegean tuning is a divine scale which is said to induce showers of rain when sung.

The moods associated with it are grandeur, attraction, lightness and passionate joy. The combinations of notes in this scale are said to evoke inner vision, according to spiritual belief.

One feels a little reminded of the time of the ancient Greeks, who lived in the Aegean.

This pentatonic handpan scale is in the Lydian mode (major) and contains 2 semitone steps and is therefore a hemitonic pentatonic.

However, the semitone steps do not disrupt the flow, so that even beginners can quickly create great melodies intuitively. The selection of tones leaves nothing to be desired, and at the same time no note seems superfluous.

A special feature of Aegean is that the raised 4th note is only present in the upper octave. This note colors the scale in a Lydian way. This results in a very beautiful sound, as is often used in jazz music.

A major triad is built on the root note (DING), the fourth note forms the major seventh to the ding. After this fourth note on the pan, a semitone step leads back to the root note (an octave higher). The entire pentatonic scale is present in this upper octave. In comparison to the complete heptatonic Lydian mode, Aegean does not contain a 2nd and 6th degree. Since these are not crucial for Lydian, it can still be clearly assigned to this mode.
