This maqam also shares this tone selection with the \u003cstrong\u003earrangement of the notes\u003c\/strong\u003e 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 \u003cstrong\u003emysterious sound of the scale\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHowever, an ambiguity remains, \u003cstrong\u003esince the DING is a fifth below the first note\u003c\/strong\u003e and thus acts as a second tonal center, which changes the mode to \u003cstrong\u003eAeolian \u003c\/strong\u003e(natural minor). Depending on the playing style, you can thus switch between \u003cstrong\u003enatural minor\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003ePhrygian sound character\u003c\/strong\u003e. With \u003ci\u003eKurd\u003c\/i\u003e, you can play everything from calm and meditative to melancholic and all the way to powerful and joyful variations.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003ci\u003eKurd\u003c\/i\u003e shares with other \u003cstrong\u003eminor variations\u003c\/strong\u003e (cf. Celtic Minor\/ Integral) the jump of a fifth from the DING to the first note. From this fifth step, assuming that the tonal center is the DING, you have all the steps of a natural minor scale (aeolian). What is special about Kurd is the \u003cstrong\u003esemitone step (semitone)\u003c\/strong\u003e between the first and second notes. This step is also present in the eponymous Maqam Kurd (Arabic or Turkish scale system) (cf. Semai Kurd), but also in the \u003cstrong\u003ePhrygian mode\u003c\/strong\u003e. The Phrygian mode is used in \u003cstrong\u003ejazz, psychedelic rock, flamenco, and fado\u003c\/strong\u003e, but also in \u003cstrong\u003eclassical music\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cb\u003ePossible tone sequences of the Kurd handpan scale: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTone sequence with 12 notes: D\/ (F G) A Bb C D E F G A C\u003cbr\u003eTone sequence with 13 notes: D\/ (F G) A Bb C D E F G A C (D)\u003cbr\u003eTone sequence with 14 notes: D\/ (F G) A Bb C D E F G A C (D E)\u003cbr\u003eTone sequence with 15 notes: D\/ (F G) A Bb C D E F G A C (D E F)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhich handpan tuning is well suited for D Kurd:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eVery well suited for playing together and improvising:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.handpan.world\/collections\/handpan-store\/stimmung_sabye-ashakiran+basis_f?sort_by=manual\" title=\"To the collection of F Sabye scales -
