Their gentle tones, spiced with a full-bodied tone, penetrate into every cell under the skin. The long-lasting and at the same time well-balanced reverberation, also known as sustain, creates a spherical soundscape - regardless of whether you play slower or faster. The full, spacious sound creates a calming, warm atmosphere.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The Spirit Wave handpans are ideal for studio recordings due to their very clear and fine sound. For good reason, they are also particularly popular as accompaniment to meditation, yoga and sound journeys. The sounds open up a space of inner experience, mindfulness and sensual sensing. An aura full of encounters that connects us with our deepest self and at the same time with what is bigger than us.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eHigh-quality, specially hardened stainless steel is used for production. The visual design and the sound aesthetics of these instruments are well coordinated and form a sophisticated unit. Finely crafted sound fields make playing very easy. Every touch produces a beautiful sound. This makes the Spirit Wave handpans easy to play even for beginners.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003e Specifications\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Diameter: 53 cm\u003cbr\u003e Height approx: 26.5cm\u003cbr\u003e Weight: approx. 4kg\u003cbr\u003e Material: stainless steel\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003e About the scale\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eScale description\u003c\/b\u003e : Kurd\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eSynonyms\u003c\/b\u003e : Aeolian \/ with root C# = Annaziska\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eBasic note sequence (8+1):\u003c\/b\u003e D\/ A Bb C D E F G A\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eEffect\u003c\/b\u003e : Warm - Mysterious - Dreamy\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eTone range:\u003c\/b\u003e Heptatonic\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eMode\u003c\/b\u003e :\u003cbr\u003e Phrygian (tonal center 1st note) = major, or\u003cbr\u003e Aeolian (tonal center : thing) = minor\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Semitones : \u003cb\u003e7\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cb\u003e1\u003c\/b\u003e - 2 - 2 - 2- 3 - 2 - 2 \u003cbr\u003eTonal center: DING or first tone\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eScale description:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The Kurd tuning is, if you will, the natural minor variant of the handpan tunings.

With it, you can play everything from calm and meditative to melancholic to powerful and cheerful, with a wide variety of styles.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Even though this scale can sound very sentimental, you can create cheerful sounds with it. For example, the second and third notes each produce a major triad. Just be aware that the second and third notes will be played simultaneously. You can of course also use this tension consciously to spice up your playing and make the relaxation more effective afterwards.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tuning is one of the first seven-tone tunings that were built and has become very popular through some videos on the Internet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eOrigin and music theory of the Kurdish tuning:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003ci\u003eKurd\u003c\/i\u003e takes the name of the Arabic\/Turkish maqam Kurd. This selection of tones also shares the arrangement of the tones with this maqam if one assumes that the tonal center is on the first tone in the circle. This creates the complete 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.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHowever, an ambivalence remains, as the DING is a fifth below the first note and thus acts like a second tonal center, which causes the mode to change to Aeolian (natural minor). Depending on the playing style, you can switch between natural minor and Phrygian sound character.

Celtic Minor\/ Integral) the jump of a fifth from the DING to the first tone. From this fifth step, assuming that the tonal center is the DING, one has all the tonal steps of a natural minor scale (Aeolian). A special feature of Kurd is the semitone step (semitone) between the first and second tone. This step is also present in the Maqam Kurd (Arabic or Turkish scale system) of the same name (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.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003ePossible tone sequences:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003eBasic tone sequence with 9 notes: D\/ A Bb CDEFGA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Sequence with 10 notes: D\/ A Bb CDEFGAC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Sequence of 11 notes:\u003cbr\u003e Option 1: D\/ (FG) A Bb CDEFGA\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cbr\u003eOption 2: D\/A bB CDEFGAC (D)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Sequence of 12 notes:\u003cbr\u003e Option 1: D\/ (FG) A Bb CDEFGAC\u003cbr\u003e Option 2: D\/A bB CDEFGAC (DE)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Sequence with 13 notes:\u003cbr\u003e Option 1: D\/(FG)A bB CDEFGAC (D)\u003cbr\u003e Option 2: D\/A bB CDEFGAC (DEF)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Sequence of 14 notes:\u003cbr\u003e Option 1: D\/(FG)A bB CDEFGAC (DE)\u003cbr\u003e Option 2: D\/ A Bb CDEFGAC (DEFG）\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Sequence with 15 notes: D\/(FG)A bB CDEFGAC (DEF)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Sequence with 16 notes: D\/(FG)A bB CDEFGAC (DEFG)\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\"\u003e * \u003cstrong\u003eBottom notes\u003c\/strong\u003e are additional tone fields on the bottom of the handpan and are written in round brackets e.g. (DE).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eMutant handpans\u003c\/strong\u003e have additional notes on the upper shell in the second row - between the chorus and the root note.
