Buy Kita D Kurd Handpan

Kita Pantam is suitable for beginners as well as for advanced handpan players. The mature tonal balance makes these instruments a special playing experience. The medium sustain allows for both fast, intense and calm melodic playing styles.

Every Kita handpan is made with passion, dedication and perfection. All instruments are handcrafted by Nima Taghavi and his team and refined in every detail, both visually and tonally.

The sound of the Orient is in every KitaPantam. Made in Esfahan, in the heart of Iran, Kita is one of many civilian projects of hope and peace in a politically turbulent country. Kita is one of the first manufacturers outside Europe to become part of our Handpan.World network. These instruments not only bring their own unique and special sound spectrum, but also expand the Handpan.World Vision: A worldwide, solidarity-based association of the handpan community. We are so grateful to now also represent the Orient and its sounds in the Handpan.World universe.

KitaPantam is extremely creative and experienced in developing unique handpan designs. No other high-quality handpan maker offers such a range of unusual finishes. This makes it possible to fulfill special design wishes. You can personalize your Kita handpan to your style. We offer a large number of fascinating designs that only the Kita team can create.

We have at least one design in stock for every classic tuning. If your desired design is not currently available, you can order it through the Handpan Online Shop. Since Kita has already prepared almost every tuning with nine and ten tone fields, a custom-made instrument takes approximately 5 weeks to be delivered to you. For special tunings - especially low scales or extended handpan instruments with many additional tone fields and bottom notes, the production time can also take up to three months.

Mutant Handpans, Low Scales and Bottom Notes at Kita Pantam:

KitaPantam is one of the few handpan manufacturers worldwide that can produce almost all scales and tunings - including those considered particularly demanding, such as mutant handpans and low scales.

Mutant handpans are those that have additional notes between the ding and the tone circle. These instruments give the player more versatility and flexibility when playing complex melodies.

Extended handpans with bottom notes are instruments with additional tone fields on the underside. Kita Pantams can have up to 20 tone fields on a handpan. You can find out which scale can be built with how many tone fields in the respective product.

Low scales, with root notes from B2 to F2, can also be made.

The process of making these special instruments is significantly more time-consuming and riskier than with regular handpans. Production can therefore take up to three months and is more expensive than conventional tunings.
 

Kita Handpan made of nitrided steel:

Nitrided steel is a heat-treated steel sheet into which nitrogen has been introduced. Nitrogen ensures a hardening of the material and makes it more stable and resistant to impacts and playing touches. This increases the tuning stability of the handpan and allows the player to enjoy the instrument longer before it needs to be retuned. Nitrided steel was initially used to make the Hang by PanArt and was later further developed by the handpan, pantam and sound sculpture makers.

Although handpans are made today from both nitrided steel and stainless steel, nitrided steel -the original material of the first handpans- still seems to have greater demand among handpan enthusiasts. This type of material offers a medium sustain range, more ceramic and clay sound, and high frequencies in the notes, which makes it good for playing outdoors. Furthermore, the notes have a clearer and more separated sound, which optimizes the KitaPantams made of nitrided steel for faster and more professional playing.

Steel is known to always be prone to rust and corrosion, and so are the nitrided Kita Pantams. To protect them from rust, they should always be cared for with the appropriate oil/wax. You can find all the know-how on how to protect your Pantam or handpan here: -> Handpan Care

KitaPantam makes their raw shells themselves - unlike many other makers. In a special pressing process, they manage to press the shells evenly, so that the material thickness is evenly distributed. Other shells have the problem that they are thinner towards the center than at the edge - which leads to less tonal stability.

We are currently selling all remaining stock of Kita Pantam handpans in the Galaxy design for €100 less. Only while supplies last

The reason for this is that the Galaxy design is slightly more prone to discoloration and surface rust. A few of the instruments in this clearance sale already have visual defects.

Tonally, all instruments are top-notch!

Discoloration also has no effect on tuning stability. And even surface rust cannot harm the sound if it is removed promptly. Only the design is damaged.

Proper care is important for all handpans. With the Galaxy design, you should be a little more thorough if you value the appearance

 

How do I properly care for my Kita handpan?

Handpans made of nitrided steel require the protective layer on their surface to be renewed regularly. By applying a special handpan care oil, a patina is created that protects your instrument from the effects of salts, acids, and moisture. This helps prevent rust formation and discoloration of the material and ensures the long-term preservation of the original surface appearance. Use a very soft microfiber cloth when caring for your handpan to avoid scratches. To ensure proper care of your handpan, we recommend one of our Handpan Care Oils or Care Sets.

Before applying the Handpan Oil, you should definitely remove accumulated dirt, such as grease, salts, and acids, with high-percentage cleaning alcohol. This prevents the care oil from mixing with substances that are harmful to the steel and negatively affecting the material despite the supposed protective layer. You can get cleaning alcohol such as isopropanol at any drugstore, as well as many supermarkets, or you can easily order it here through the Handpan.World online shop.

Neglected care can lead to surface rust and even deep rust formation, especially with nitrided handpans. Therefore, weekly care of your Kita handpan is essential.

Important notes:

  1. Never store your handpan in a bag.

  2. Wash your hands before playing.

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

Tuning name: Kurd
Synonyms: Aeolian / with root note C# = Annaziska
Basic tone sequence (8+1): D/ A Bb C D E F G A
Effect: Warm - Mysterious - Dreamy
Tone inventory: Heptatonic

Mode: phrygian (tonal center 1st note ) = major
or aeolian (tonal center : B) = minor

Tonal center : DING or first note
Semitones : 7- 1 - 2 - 2 - 2- 3 - 2 - 2

The Kurd tuning is, if you will, the natural minor variant of the handpan tunings. Due to its particularly harmonious arrangement of notes, it is especially suitable for beginners. With it, you can play everything from calm and meditative to melancholic, powerful, and cheerful.

Even though this tuning can sound very sentimental, you can also create cheerful soundscapes with it. For example, this results in a major triad on the second and third notes respectively. Just be aware that the second and third notes will rub together when played simultaneously; of course, you can also deliberately use this tension to add spice to your playing and make the subsequent relaxation even more pronounced. 

 This tuning is one of the first heptatonic tunings that were built, and it has become very well known through several videos on the internet.


Possible tone sequences of the Kurd handpan scale: 

Basic tone sequence with 9 notes (as in the video): D/ A Bb C D E F G A

Tone sequence with 10 notes: 
- Variant 1 (extension downwards): D/ (F) A Bb C D E F G A
- Variant 2 (extension upwards): D/ A Bb C D E F G A (C)

Tone sequence with 11 notes: 
- Variant 1 (extension downwards, Video 2): D/ (F G) A Bb C D E F G A
- Variant 2 (extension upwards): D/ A Bb C D E F G A (C D)

Tone sequence with 12 notes: 
- Variant 1 (extension downwards): D/ (F G) A Bb C D E F G A (C)
- Variant 2 (extension upwards): D/ A Bb C D E F G A (C D E)

Tone sequence with 13 notes: D/ (F G) A Bb C D E F G A (C D)

Upon request, these can also be made with other notes than indicated. Simply write an email with your request to: service@handpan.world
 

Kurd takes the name of the Arabic / Turkish maqam Kurd. This maqam also shares this tone selection with the arrangement of the notes if we assume that the tonal center is on the first note in the circle. This creates the full Phrygian mode, which is characterized by a semitone step (semitone) from the root note to the second note of the scale and is responsible for the mysterious sound of the scale.

However, an ambivalence remains, as the DING lies a fifth below the first note and thus acts as a second tonal center, which changes the mode to Aeolian (natural minor). Depending on the playing style, you can thus switch between natural minor and Phrygian sound character. With Kurd you can play everything from calm and meditative to melancholic, powerful, and cheerful.

Kurd shares with other minor variations (cf. Celtic Minor/ Integral) the jump of a fifth from the DING to the first note. From this fifth step, if we assume that the tonal center is the DING, you have all the steps of a natural minor scale (aeolian). Especially with Kurd is the semitone step (semitone) between the first and second note. This step is also present in the maqam of the same name Kurd (Arabic or Turkish scale system) (cf. Semai Kurd), but also in the Phrygian mode. The Phrygian mode is used in jazz, psychedelic rock, flamenco and fado, but also in classical music.

Nima Taghavi started building handpans in 2015 and founded KitaDrums at the end of the year  - today KitaPantam. Initially, Nima Taghavi still built 12-inch steel tongue drums and simultaneously explored the art of handpan building. With the further development of the workflow and manufacturing processes, the steel tongue drums were replaced by stainless steel instruments, and soon after Tongue Pans (overtone tongue drums) were also added to the portfolio.

At the end of 2017, KitaPantam managed to build the first handpans or pantams, as they call their instruments. Since then, the range of various instruments has been continuously expanded  and further improved. The now 20-person maker team is today probably the highest quality manufacturer of handpans from Iran. All instruments are handcrafted by Nima and his team. KitaPantam is made with passion, dedication and perfection.

We at Handpan.World are grateful for the very close cooperation and have the honor to offer these unique instruments exclusively in Europe.

Customer photo review of Kita Pantam F3 Low Pygmy

I bought the Kita F Low Pygmy 16 notes (extended upwards for high notes) nitrided handpan in the vintage look. I am more than pleased with the instrument. The sound is, in my view, a perfect mix between nitrided and stainless steel. The sustain is long but not too long. The tuning is perfect. The sound seems softer and warmer than typical nitrided steel pans and doesn't have that predominantly ceramic tone. In my vieww, it's perfect for a calm meditative style of play while at the same time allowing for more rapid styles. Sound is a matter of personal taste. I love this one and would recommend it.

It’s especially nice to hear that the instrument works so well for both calm, meditative playing and more dynamic styles. As you said, sound is always very personal – so we’re even happier that this one seems to be such a great match for you. We wish you many beautiful moments with your handpan and lots of inspiration while playing!

Customer photo review of Kita Pantam D Kurd

Das Team von Handpan World ist sehr hilfsbereit, freundlich und kompetent. Die Bestellung und der Versand liefen unkompliziert und sehr zügig. Es ist meine erste Hand Pan und so habe ich mehrere Hand Pans probiert, bis ich dann bei der D Kurd gelandet bin, welche für einen Anfänger sicher ein sehr guter Startpunkt ist. Der Sound ist schön, der Nachklang (Sustain) nicht zu lang und der Ton B öffnet die D- Moll Skala und ermöglicht ein schönes Spiel mit vielen Variationen. Die Qualität der Pan ist sehr gut. Ich bin sehr zufrieden!

Customer photo review of Kita Pantam D Kurd

Als Anfänger mit wenig musikalischen Fähigkeiten, durfte ich die Handpan eines Kollegen berühren und probieren. Ich war sofort davon angetan, wie mich diese Töne berührten und sich in mir innere Ruhe ausbreitete. Der Hinweis zu euch lies mich tiefer in die Welt der Handpan eintauchen um zu verstehen und zu beachten. Schließlich entschied ich mich für die Kita Pantam D-Kurd aus nitriertem Stahl und bin auch jetzt noch sehr begeistert und zufrieden. Vom informativen Aufbau über die Abwicklung der Bestellung bis hin zur super verpackten Lieferung all meiner Produkte bin ich sehr zufrieden gewesen.

Wir hatten eine Hang online bestellt, mit der wir nicht so richtig zurecht kamen. Also kurzerhand eingepackt und nach München in den Showroom gefahren. Dort wurden wir freundlich in Empfang genommen. Ein Kunde war bereits vor uns da und ihm wurde mit viel Geduld alles vorgespielt, was er hören wollte. Bei uns selbst wurde an der Hang eine Verstimmung festgestellt. Kurzerhand konnten wie sie gleich vor Ort tauschen und haben uns sogar für ein anderes Model entschieden. Nämlich für dieses. Die Hang hört sich traumhaft an und die Töne sind leicht anzuspielen. Toller Service, tolles Instrument

Meine erste Handpan und sie bereitet mir Gänsehaut. Die tiefe Stimmung ist ganz besonders. Vielen Dank an den Handpanman Pierrce aus Heidelberg für seine offene und herzliche Art und die wundervolle Begleitung bei der Auswahl. Sehr zu empfehlen.

Tolle Verarbeitung und eine wunderschöne Handpan. Die Töne sind so klar und trotzdem kraftvoll. Das ermöglicht mir schnell aber auch langsam meditativ zu spielen. Der Klangteppich der entsteht ist zauberhaft. Gekauft habe ich sie in einem Show Room in Rheinfelden. Dort konnte ich verschiedene Handpans und Stimmungen testen. Nur zu empfehlen.

Die Beratung und das Probespielen bei Bernhard im Showroom Karlsruhe war sehr angenehm und hilfreich bei der Wahl meiner ersten eigenen Handpan! Daraufhin habe ich mich für die Kita Pantam D Kurd entschieden und bin sehr glücklich mit meiner Wahl! Service und Lieferzeit waren super und wie angegeben. Vielen Dank dafür!

Tolles Instrument! Optik, Haptik und natürlich der Klang...alles passt und fügt sich zu einem harmonischen Ganzen. Der Kauf war in gewisser Weise ein Lustkauf. Bereits vor etwa 10 Jahren vom Klang inspiriert, habe ich nun doch lange gebraucht, mich zum Kauf durchzuringen. Man muss dazu sagen, dass ich musikalisch praktisch ein unbeschriebenes Blatt bin, sprich bisher kein Instrument spiele. Die Hürde, dann mal so eben fast 2000 Euro dafür auszugeben, ist entsprechend hoch. Dann hatte ich die Gelegenheit mal probeweise auf einer Handpan zu spielen und war sofort begeistert. Nach einigem Stöbern stieß ich auf Handpan.world und fand neben der Instrumentenauswahl auch vom dahinterstehenden Konzept überzeugend. Ich entschied mich für die Kita Panama D Kurd, die mich klanglich intuitiv abholte. Ich habe es nicht bereut. Seither spiele ich fast täglich und nähere mich der Klangwelt mal rein intuitiv und mal gezielt mit Übungen, Tutorials und dem Lernen von Songs. Dabei ist neben dem tollen Klang vor allem die Optik der Galaxy-Variante klasse. Hier sieht man schön die Anlauffarben des Metalls und ein wechselndes Farbspiel, je nach Lichteinfall und Betrachtungswinkel. So ist die Kita Galaxy auch gleich noch ein dekorativer Hingucker! Nach nun einigen Wochen täglichen Spielens machen sich erste Erfolge bemerkbar. Die Unabhängigkeit meiner Hände hat sich rasant verbessert und eröffnet täglich neue Möglichkeiten. Dabei ist die Handpan immer gutmutig und verzeiht Spielfehler ohne weiteres. Sie klingt eigentlich fast immer harmonisch...sicher auch der Grund für den Kauf, da sich Erfolgserlebnisse doch recht schnell einstellen. Insofern kann ich jedem nur raten, sich vom Bauch leiten zu lassen und es einfach zu probieren. Ihr werdet es nicht bereuen. Zudem seid ihr bei Handpan.world gut aufgehoben. Die Auswahl ist exclusiv und auch die Lieferung erfolgte bei mir reibungslos, schnell und sicher.

Wir sind schwer begeistert von dem herzlichen und zuvorkommenden Service! Jederzeit wieder! Die Handpan ist ein Traum! Sie hat einen sehr sauberen und unverzerrten Klang, so dass wirklich jeder Ton schön klingt. Sie lässt sich sehr dankbar spielen! Selbst unser 6 jähriger Sohn will sie nicht mehr her geben :-) Alles in Allem seid ihr ein top Team mit super schönen Handpans und einer großen Auswahl! Macht weiter so und aller besten Dank auch an die liebe Anke im Showroom Bonn, die jederzeit mit Rat und Tat für uns da war, sowie die Crew aus München die mir am Telefon allzeit behilflich und entgegenkommend war!

Diese Handpan ist einfach nur phantastisch. Der Klang ist kraftvoll, raumfüllend und steht einfach für sich. Ich besitze mittlerweile fünf Handpans und habe schon zahlreiche Maker ausprobiert. Die Kitas sind aber klanglich das Beste, das ich je hören und spielen durfte! Sie sind auch optisch ein richtiger hingucker - habe mich für das "Gold Vintage" Design entschieden. Einfach hochwertig verarbeitet. Danke auch an das Handpan World Team. Ihr seid gut erreichbar / antwortet schnell und seid für jede Unterstützung offen. Kann ich nur jedem Handpan Suchenden empfehlen: Bei Handpan World werdet ihr fündig und glücklich. Meine nächste Handpan kommt sicher auch wieder von hier!

Ich bin immer wieder fasziniert, wie die Kita Pantam' Handpan C# Pygmy 13, die ich in Edelstahl habe, Stimmungen und Schwingungen in meinem Raum zaubert. Dank von Herzen an Basti vom Showroom in München für seine offene, sehr kompetente und zugewandte Begleitung bei der Auswahl. Absolute Empfehlung! Elia

Meine wunderschöne Kita Pantam kam sogar noch vor Weihnachten, ein wenig früher als geplant. Sie klingt traumhaft und ich habe schon einige Stunden mit ihr verbracht. Besonders angenehm der Anruf, den ich bekam um nochmal alles genau zu Besprechen. Vielen Dank dafür.

Questions & answers when buying a handpan:

Reference to manual work on our Handpan instruments

Our handpans are elaborately crafted by hand. Even though our handpans are made with the utmost care and craftsmanship, natural differences in color, slight variations in design and minimal manufacturing marks, such as fine scratches or unevenness on the tone fields and the sound body, may occur.

Visible hammer marks, which are caused by the precise tuning of the instrument by hand, are characteristic features of handmade handpans. They are evidence of authentic craftsmanship and do not represent a quality defect. On the contrary, they emphasize the uniqueness of each instrument.
