Nitrogen hardens the material and makes it more stable and resistant to strikes and contact with the instrument. This increases the tuning stability of the handpan and the player can enjoy the instrument for longer until it needs to be retuned. Nitrated steel was first used to make the first handpan drums and was later developed further by handpan, pantam and sound sculptor makers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlthough handpans are nowadays made of both nitrated steel and stainless steel, nitrated steel, the original material of the first handpans, still seems to be in 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 outdoor playing. In addition, notes have a clearer and separated sound, which optimizes the nitrated steel Kita pantams for faster and more professional playing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSteel is known to be susceptible to rust and corrosion, and so are the nitrated Kita pantams.

Nitrogen hardens the material and makes it more stable and resistant to strikes and contact with the instrument. This increases the tuning stability of the handpan and the player can enjoy the instrument for longer until it needs to be retuned. Nitrated steel was first used to make the first handpan drums and was later developed further by handpan, pantam and sound sculptor makers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlthough handpans are nowadays made of both nitrated steel and stainless steel, nitrated steel, the original material of the first handpans, still seems to be in 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 outdoor playing. In addition, notes have a clearer and separated sound, which optimizes the nitrated steel Kita pantams for faster and more professional playing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSteel is known to be susceptible to rust and corrosion, and so are the nitrated Kita pantams. To protect them from rust, they should always be maintained with the appropriate oil\/wax.

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 formation 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.

This instrument would probably have found its place in spiritual ceremonies in Celtic times. Compared to the full Aeolian mode, the sixth degree is not present here, which makes this tuning somewhat more open. You can play very beautiful harmonies, especially in the upper range. This is one of the most popular tunings in the world of handpans.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCharacteristic of Amara\/Celtic Minor is the leap from the DING to the first note in the interval of a pure fifth (example D-A). This fifth leap immediately opens up the tonal space and gives context to the notes above it. The next note is a minor third above the fifth, which in turn is reminiscent of the natural tone row. From here there are two whole tone steps, a semitone step, two whole tone steps and the leap of the minor third to the highest note of the tuning, which results from the absence of the sixth degree (example D Celtic Minor: tone Bb).\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis tuning sounds particularly archaic, as many pure intervals (fifth, fourth, octave) can be played, which were already used in the Middle Ages.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAnother special feature results from the arrangement of the notes: in the example of D Celtic Minor, the notes on the right-hand side produce the triad of the root note, in this case D minor (A-D-F-A). On the left-hand side, however, all the notes of the major triad are one note below the root note, i.e. C major (C-E-G-C). When played harmonically, the sound impression of a major key can easily be created.

now Kita Pantam - at the end of that year. Initially, Nima Taghavi was building 12-inch steel tongued drums while exploring the art of handpan making. As the workflow and manufacturing processes evolved, the steel tongue drums were replaced by stainless steel instruments and soon after, tongue pans (overtone tongue drums) were added to the portfolio. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAt the end of 2017, Kita Pantam succeeded in building the first hand pans or pantams, as they call their instruments. Since then, the range of different instruments has been continuously expanded and improved. The team of 20 makers is now probably the highest quality manufacturer of handpans in Iran. All instruments are handmade by Nima and his team. Kita Pantams are made with passion, dedication and perfection.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe at Handpan.World are grateful for the very close cooperation and have the honor of offering these unique

Nitrogen hardens the material and makes it more stable and resistant to strikes and contact with the instrument. This increases the tuning stability of the handpan and the player can enjoy the instrument for longer until it needs to be retuned. Nitrated steel was first used to make the first handpan drums and was later developed further by handpan, pantam and sound sculptor makers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlthough handpans are nowadays made of both nitrated steel and stainless steel, nitrated steel, the original material of the first handpans, still seems to be in 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 outdoor playing. In addition, notes have a clearer and separated sound, which optimizes the nitrated steel Kita pantams for faster and more professional playing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSteel is known to be susceptible to rust and corrosion, and so are the nitrated Kita pantams.

This maqam is characterized by a minor second from the root note (tonal center) to the next higher note (cf. Phrygian), but this is followed by a minor third (3 semitones), which turns the third note into a major third in relation to the root note (therefore Phrygian dominant).

The role of nitrogen is to increase the rigidity of the material to make it harder and more stable to the touch. This increases the tuning stability of the handpan and the player can enjoy the instrument for longer until it needs to be retuned. This type of material was first used to make the first handpan drums and then further developed by handpan, pantam and sound sculptor makers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlthough handpans are nowadays made of both nitrated steel and stainless steel, nitrated steel, the original material of the first handpans, still seems to be in 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 outdoor playing. In addition, notes have a clearer and separated sound, which optimizes the nitrated steel Kita pantams for faster and more professional playing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSteel is known to be susceptible to rust and corrosion, and so are the nitrated Kita pantams. To protect them from rust, they should always be maintained with the appropriate oil\/wax.

This fifth leap immediately opens up the tonal space and gives context to the notes above it. The next note is a minor third above the fifth, which in turn is reminiscent of the natural tone row. From here there are two whole tone steps, a semitone step, two whole tone steps and the leap of the minor third to the highest note of the tuning, which results from the absence of the sixth degree (example D Celtic Minor: tone Bb).\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis tuning sounds particularly archaic, as many pure intervals (fifth, fourth, octave) can be played, which were already used in the Middle Ages.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAnother special feature results from the arrangement of the notes: in the example of D Celtic Minor, the notes on the right-hand side produce the triad of the root note, in this case D minor (A-D-F-A).

Nitrogen hardens the material and makes it more stable and resistant to strikes and contact with the instrument. This increases the tuning stability of the handpan and the player can enjoy the instrument for longer until it needs to be retuned. Nitrated steel was first used to make the first handpan drums and was later developed further by handpan, pantam and sound sculptor makers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlthough handpans are nowadays made of both nitrated steel and stainless steel, nitrated steel, the original material of the first handpans, still seems to be in 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 outdoor playing. In addition, notes have a clearer and separated sound, which optimizes the nitrated steel Kita pantams for faster and more professional playing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSteel is known to be susceptible to rust and corrosion, and so are the nitrated Kita pantams. To protect them from rust, they should always be maintained with the appropriate oil\/wax.

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 formation and discoloration of the material and ensures that the original surface appearance is preserved for a long time.

With this maqam, this tone selection also shares the arrangement of the tones if one assumes that the tonal center lies on the first tone in the circle. This creates the complete Phrygian mode, which is characterized by a semitone step from the root note to the second note of the scale and is responsible for the mysterious sound of the scale.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHowever, an ambivalence remains, as the DING is a fifth below the first note and thus appears like a second tonal center, which allows the mode to change to Aeolian (natural minor). Depending on how you play, you can switch between a natural minor and a Phrygian sound character. With \u003cem\u003eKurd\u003c\/em\u003e you can play anything from calm and meditative to melancholic to powerful and cheerful, with lots of variation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eKurd\u003c\/em\u003e shares with other minor variations (cf. Celtic Minor\/Integral) the leap 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 tone steps of a natural minor scale (aeolian). Kurd's semitone step between the first and second note is special. 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. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSuitable handpan tunings for D Kurd:\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVery suitable for playing together improvisationally:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca title=\"Zur sammlung der F Sabye Skalen - Handpans in der Stimmung F Dur\" href=\"https:\/\/www.handpan.world\/collections\/handpan-store\/stimmung_sabye-ashakiran+basis_f?sort_by=manual\" target=\"_blank\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/www.handpan.world\/collections\/handpan-store\/stimmung_sabye-ashakiran+basis_f?sort_by=manual\"\u003eF Sabye (parallel key)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca title=\"Zur sammlung der F Major Skalen - Handpans in der Stimmung F Dur\" href=\"https:\/\/www.handpan.world\/collections\/handpan-store\/basis_f+stimmung_major?sort_by=manual\" target=\"_blank\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/www.handpan.world\/collections\/handpan-store\/basis_f+stimmung_major?sort_by=manual\"\u003eF Major (parallel key) \u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca title=\"Zur sammlung der D Celtic\/Amara Skalen - Handpans in der Stimmung D Moll\" href=\"https:\/\/www.handpan.world\/collections\/handpan-store\/basis_d+stimmung_celtic-minor-amara?sort_by=manual\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/www.handpan.world\/collections\/handpan-store\/basis_d+stimmung_celtic-minor-amara?sort_by=manual\"\u003eD Celtic Minor \/ Amara \u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eG Celtic Minor \/ Amara\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca title=\"Zur sammlung der D Aeolian Skalen - Handpans in der Stimmung D Moll\" href=\"https:\/\/www.handpan.world\/collections\/handpan-store\/basis_d+stimmung_aeolian?sort_by=manual\" target=\"_blank\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/www.handpan.world\/collections\/handpan-store\/basis_d+stimmung_aeolian?sort_by=manual\"\u003eD Aeolian \u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBb Aegean\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eD Equinox\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eD Magic Voyage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca title=\"Zur sammlung der D Integral Skalen - Handpans in der Stimmung D Moll\" href=\"https:\/\/www.handpan.world\/collections\/handpan-store\/basis_d+stimmung_integral?sort_by=manual\" target=\"_blank\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/www.handpan.world\/collections\/handpan-store\/basis_d+stimmung_integral?sort_by=manual\"\u003eD Integral \u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eD Pygmy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlso suitable for composing together:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca title=\"Zur sammlung der A Celtic\/Amara Skalen - Handpans in der Stimmung A Moll\" href=\"https:\/\/www.handpan.world\/collections\/handpan-store\/basis_a2+stimmung_celtic-minor-amara?sort_by=manual\" target=\"_blank\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/www.handpan.world\/collections\/handpan-store\/basis_a2+stimmung_celtic-minor-amara?sort_by=manual\"\u003eA Celtic Minor \/ Amara \u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca title=\"Zur sammlung der A Hijaz Skalen - Handpans in der Stimmung A Moll\" href=\"https:\/\/www.handpan.world\/collections\/handpan-store\/basis_a2+stimmung_hijaz?sort_by=manual\" target=\"_blank\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/www.handpan.world\/collections\/handpan-store\/basis_a2+stimmung_hijaz?sort_by=manual\"\u003eA Hijaz\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.handpan.world\/collections\/handpan-store\/basis_a2+stimmung_hijaz?sort_by=manual\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/www.handpan.world\/collections\/handpan-store\/basis_a2+stimmung_hijaz?sort_by=manual\"\u003e \u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eC Kurd\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca title=\"Zur sammlung der C Celtic Minor \/ Amara Skalen - Handpans in der Stimmung C Moll\" href=\"https:\/\/www.handpan.world\/collections\/handpan-store\/stimmung_celtic-minor-amara+basis_c?sort_by=manual\" target=\"_blank\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/www.handpan.world\/collections\/handpan-store\/stimmung_celtic-minor-amara+basis_c?sort_by=manual\"\u003eC Celtic Minor \/ Amara\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eF Ragadesh\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eAbout the manufacturer\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNima Taghavi started building handpans in 2015 and founded KitaDrums - now Kita Pantam - at the end of that year. Initially, Nima Taghavi was building 12-inch steel tongued drums while exploring the art of handpan making.

Since then, the range of different instruments has been continuously expanded and improved. The team of 20 makers is now probably the highest quality manufacturer of handpans in Iran. All instruments are handmade by Nima and his team.

Nitrogen hardens the material and makes it more stable and resistant to strikes and contact with the instrument. This increases the tuning stability of the handpan and the player can enjoy the instrument for longer until it needs to be retuned. Nitrated steel was first used to make the first handpan drums and was later developed further by handpan, pantam and sound sculptor makers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlthough handpans are nowadays made of both nitrated steel and stainless steel, nitrated steel, the original material of the first handpans, still seems to be in 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 outdoor playing. In addition, notes have a clearer and separated sound, which optimizes the nitrated steel Kita pantams for faster and more professional playing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSteel is known to be susceptible to rust and corrosion, and so are the nitrated Kita pantams. To protect them from rust, they should always be maintained with the appropriate oil\/wax.

Applying a special care oil for handpans creates a patina that protects your instrument from the effects of salts, acids and moisture.

This scale is often used in Central African music. The Low Pygmy scale is a pentatonic variant of the Dorian minor scale. Such a combination creates a dreamy tuning. The repetition of four notes over two octaves creates a broad harmony in the tuning and produces a carpet of sound rich in overtones that fills the room.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompared to \u003cem\u003ePygmy\u003c\/em\u003e, the sound impression of \u003cem\u003eLow Pygmy\u003c\/em\u003e remains similar and the tone intervals are also maintained. The difference is that the top note of \u003cem\u003ePygmy\u003c\/em\u003e is now two octaves lower and thus reproduces the tone of the DING, creating an ascending fourth between the DING and the first note. This means that the first note in the circle and not the DING is the tonal center of \u003cem\u003eLow Pygmy\u003c\/em\u003e. Overall, the LOW version sounds somewhat more floating in comparison.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"style-scope yt-formatted-string\"\u003eThe Low Pygmy tuning is a classic in the world of handpans for good reason and has recently become increasingly fashionable.

Initially, Nima Taghavi was building 12-inch steel tongued drums while exploring the art of handpan making. As the workflow and manufacturing processes evolved, the steel tongue drums were replaced by stainless steel instruments and soon after, tongue pans (overtone tongue drums) were added to the portfolio.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAt the end of 2017, Kita Pantam succeeded in building the first hand pans or pantams, as they call their instruments. Since then, the range of different instruments has been continuously expanded and improved. The team of 20 makers is now probably the highest quality manufacturer of handpans in Iran. All instruments are handmade by Nima and his team. Kita Pantams are made with passion, dedication and perfection.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe at Handpan.World are grateful for the very close cooperation and have the honor to offer these unique

Apart from the name, this scale only has the number of notes up to the octave in common with pygmy music (pentatonic). The equi-pentatonic scale, which some African peoples traditionally use, would probably also be very unusual for our western ears. Nevertheless, this hemitonic pentatonic scale is very good for both rhythmic patterns and melodic phrases.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e A special feature of both \u003cem\u003ePygmy\u003c\/em\u003e versions is that four of the five tones are present again one octave higher, allowing the overtones to be amplified well (cf. natural scale).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePygmy\u003c\/em\u003e is often referred to as \u003cem\u003eDorian pentatonic\u003c\/em\u003e . We don't understand this term because there is no sixth degree. The term \u003cem\u003eDorian pentatonic\u003c\/em\u003e probably came about in analogy to church scales. In connection with pentatonics, this approach makes little sense because in this example the major sixth note, which is absolutely important for the Dorian mode, is missing. Apart from that, Pygmy is a very cool sounding scale!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe special thing about this Pygmy tuning is that it is a hemitonic pentatonic. This means that, unlike a normal major or minor pentatonic (anhemitonic pentatonic), there is also a semitone. This is between the first and second tone, so the first three tones of the natural minor scale (Aeolian) are present in Pygmy without a jump. In the example F Pygmy, that would be FG-Ab. From this tone, there is a jump of a major third (also called a major third) to the fifth tone (in the example: tone C). This is followed by a minor third jump and a whole tone step that leads to the octave.

Initially, Nima Taghavi built 12-inch steel tongue drums and at the same time explored the art of handpan construction. As the workflow and manufacturing processes developed, the steel tongue drums were replaced by stainless steel instruments and soon tongue pans were added to the portfolio.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eAt the end of 2017, KitaPantam succeeded in building the first handpans, or pantams, as they call their instruments. Since then, the range of different instruments has been continually expanded and improved. The maker team, which now has 20 members, is now probably the highest quality manufacturer of handpans from Iran. All instruments are handmade by Nima and his team. KitaPantam is made with passion, dedication and perfection.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e We at Handpan.World are grateful for the very close cooperation and have the honor of offering these unique

Nitrogen hardens the material and makes it more stable and resistant to strikes and contact with the instrument. This increases the tuning stability of the handpan and the player can enjoy the instrument for longer until it needs to be retuned. Nitrated steel was first used to make the first handpan drums and was later developed further by handpan, pantam and sound sculptor makers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlthough handpans are nowadays made of both nitrated steel and stainless steel, nitrated steel, the original material of the first handpans, still seems to be in 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 outdoor playing. In addition, notes have a clearer and separated sound, which optimizes the nitrated steel Kita pantams for faster and more professional playing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSteel is known to be susceptible to rust and corrosion, and so are the nitrated Kita pantams. To protect them from rust, they should always be maintained with the appropriate oil\/wax.

Compared to the full Aeolian mode, the sixth degree is not present here, which makes this tuning somewhat more open. You can play very beautiful harmonies, especially in the upper range.

This fifth leap immediately opens up the tonal space and gives context to the notes above it. The next note is a minor third above the fifth, which in turn is reminiscent of the natural tone row. From here there are two whole tone steps, a semitone step, two whole tone steps and the leap of the minor third to the highest note of the tuning, which results from the absence of the sixth degree (example D Celtic Minor: tone Bb).\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis tuning sounds particularly archaic, as many pure intervals (fifth, fourth, octave) can be played, which were already used in the Middle Ages.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAnother special feature results from the arrangement of the notes: in the example of D Celtic Minor, the notes on the right-hand side produce the triad of the root note, in this case D minor (A-D-F-A).

now Kita Pantam - at the end of that year. Initially, Nima Taghavi built 12-inch steel tongued drums while exploring the art of handpan making. As the workflow and manufacturing processes evolved, the steel tongue drums were replaced by stainless steel instruments and soon after, tongue pans (overtone tongue drums) were added to the portfolio. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAt the end of 2017, Kita Pantam succeeded in building the first hand pans or pantams, as they call their instruments. Since then, the range of different instruments has been continuously expanded and improved. The team of 20 makers is now probably the highest quality manufacturer of handpans in Iran. All instruments are handmade by Nima and his team. Kita Pantam is made with passion, dedication and perfection.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe at Handpan.World are grateful for the very close cooperation and have the honor of representing these unique

Nitrogen hardens the material and makes it more stable and resistant to strikes and contact with the instrument. This increases the tuning stability of the handpan and the player can enjoy the instrument for longer until it needs to be retuned. Nitrated steel was first used to make the first handpan drums and was later developed further by handpan, pantam and sound sculptor makers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlthough handpans are nowadays made of both nitrated steel and stainless steel, nitrated steel, the original material of the first handpans, still seems to be in 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 outdoor playing. In addition, notes have a clearer and separated sound, which optimizes the nitrated steel Kita pantams for faster and more professional playing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSteel is known to be susceptible to rust and corrosion, and so are the nitrated Kita pantams. To protect them from rust, they should always be maintained with the appropriate oil\/wax.

Overall, this scale sounds a little more cheerful than the classical major scale (Ionian). The Lydian mode is used a lot in traditional music styles, such as forrò music in north-eastern Brazil.

This makes the sound somewhat more open, so that it is not grounded in the upper octave range, but vibrates freely.

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.

This fifth jump immediately opens up the tonal space and gives context to the notes above it. The next note is a minor third above the fifth, which in turn is reminiscent of the natural tone series. From here there are two whole tone steps, a half tone step, two whole tone steps and the jump of the minor third to the highest note of the tuning, which results from the absence of the sixth degree (example D Celtic Minor: note Bb).\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e This tuning sounds particularly archaic because it allows the play of many pure intervals (fifth, fourth, octave) that were already used in the Middle Ages.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAnother special feature arises from the arrangement of the notes: In the example of D Celtic Minor, the notes on the right side form the triad of the fundamental note, in this case D minor (ADFA). On the left side, however, all the notes of the major triad are one note below the fundamental note, i.e. C major (CEGC). When playing harmoniously, the sound impression of major can easily be reproduced. It is not for nothing that this is probably the most common handpan tuning.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003ePossible tone sequences:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Sequence with 9 notes: D\/ ACDEFGAC\u003cbr\u003e Sequence of 10 notes: D\/ ACDEFGACD\u003cbr\u003e Sequence with 11 notes: \u003cspan dir=\"auto\" class=\"style-scope yt-formatted-string\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"bold style-scope yt-formatted-string\" dir=\"auto\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eD\/\u003c\/span\u003e (F) ACDEFGAC \u003cspan class=\"bold style-scope yt-formatted-string\" dir=\"auto\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eD\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSequence with 12 notes: \u003cspan class=\"style-scope yt-formatted-string bold\" dir=\"auto\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eD\/\u003c\/span\u003e (FG) A CDEFGACD\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Sequence with 13 notes: D\/ (EFG) ACDEFGACD\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e 14 note sequence: D\/ (EFG) ACDEFGACD (E)\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cspan dir=\"auto\" class=\"style-scope yt-formatted-string\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSequence of 15 notes:\u003cbr\u003e -Option 1: \u003cspan class=\"bold style-scope yt-formatted-string\" dir=\"auto\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eD\u003c\/span\u003e (EF)\/ A (Bb) CDEFGACD (EF)\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e -Option 2: \u003cspan class=\"bold style-scope yt-formatted-string\" dir=\"auto\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eD\u003c\/span\u003e (EF)\/ A (Bb) C (C#) DEFGACD (E)\u003cbr\u003e -Option 3: D\/ (EFG) ACDEFGACD (EF)\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cspan class=\"style-scope yt-formatted-string\" dir=\"auto\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSequence of 16 notes:\u003cbr\u003e -Option 1: \u003cspan dir=\"auto\" class=\"bold style-scope yt-formatted-string\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eD\u003c\/span\u003e (EF)\/ A (Bb) CDEFGACD (EFG)\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cbr\u003e-Option 3: \u003cspan dir=\"auto\" class=\"style-scope yt-formatted-string bold\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eD\u003c\/span\u003e \/ (EFG) ACDEFGAC (DEFG)\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\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.

Since then, the range of different instruments has been continually expanded and improved.

Embersteel is particularly resonant and fine in sound. The long sustain (resonance) ensures a pronounced richness of overtones and makes the whole instrument sing. This creates a versatile tapestry of sound that is particularly inviting for melodic and meditative playing. Embersteel is characterized by a soft, harmonious sound.

With \u003cem\u003eKurd\u003c\/em\u003e you can play anything from calm and meditative to melancholic to powerful and cheerful, with lots of variation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eKurd\u003c\/em\u003e shares with other minor variations (cf. Celtic Minor\/Integral) the leap 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 tone steps of a natural minor scale (aeolian). Kurd's semitone step between the first and second note is special. 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. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSuitable tunings: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eVery suitable for playing together improvisationally:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003ca data-mce-fragment=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.handpan.world\/collections\/handpan-store\/stimmung_sabye-ashakiran+basis_f?sort_by=manual\" title=\"Zur sammlung der F Sabye Skalen -

Vibrating holistically, this tuning belongs to the major variations. This scale is characterized by the raised tone on the fourth level of the scale. The mode is therefore Lydian. Overall, this scale sounds a little happier than the classic major tuning (Ionian). The Lydian mode is used a lot in traditional music styles, such as Forrò music in northeastern Brazil.

From there it goes up gradually until a small third leap leads up from the seventh note, which makes the note an octave of the DING. This makes the sound a little more open, so that it is not grounded in the upper octave range, but vibrates freely. In this tuning, a major triad is created on the first, second and fourth notes, and a minor triad on the first, second and third notes.

Nitrogen hardens the material and makes it more stable and resistant to strikes and contact with the instrument. This increases the tuning stability of the handpan and the player can enjoy the instrument for longer until it needs to be retuned. Nitrated steel was first used to make the first handpan drums and was later developed further by handpan, pantam and sound sculptor makers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlthough handpans are nowadays made of both nitrated steel and stainless steel, nitrated steel, the original material of the first handpans, still seems to be in 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 outdoor playing. In addition, notes have a clearer and separated sound, which optimizes the nitrated steel Kita pantams for faster and more professional playing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSteel is known to be susceptible to rust and corrosion, and so are the nitrated Kita pantams. To protect them from rust, they should always be maintained with the appropriate oil\/wax.

Vibrating holistically, this tuning belongs to the major variations. This scale is characterized by the raised tone on the fourth degree of the scale. The mode is therefore Lydian. Overall, this scale sounds a little more cheerful than the classical major scale (Ionian). The Lydian mode is used a lot in traditional music styles, such as forrò music in north-eastern Brazil. This tuning is highly recommended for music therapy and for free intuitive playing. It is also suitable for surrounding yourself with healing sounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Ashakiran\" is the nickname for \u003cem\u003eSabye\u003c\/em\u003e, which expands the scale with a further, higher tone field.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tone sequence starts from the DING to the first tone with a fourth leap, which acts as an upbeat. From there it goes upwards in steps until a small leap of a third leads upwards from the seventh note, turning the note into an octave from the DING. This makes the sound somewhat more open, so that it is not grounded in the upper octave range, but vibrates freely. This tuning produces a major triad on the first, second and fourth notes and a minor triad on the first, second and third notes.

Imagine the caravan riding away in old oriental movies. That's what the Hijaz scale sounds like. This maqam is characterized by a minor second from the root note (tonal center) to the next higher note (cf. Phrygian), but this is followed by a minor third (3 semitones), which turns the third note into a major third in relation to the root note (therefore Phrygian dominant).

Imagine a caravan riding off into the distance in classic Oriental films—that is the sound of the Hijaz scale. This Maqam is characterized by a minor second between the root note (tonal center) and the next higher note (similar to Phrygian). However, it is followed by a major third (three semitones), which gives the third note a major quality relative to the root note—hence the term \"Phrygian dominant.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe scale can also be understood as a harmonic minor scale starting from the fifth degree.\u003cbr\u003eFor example:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eG harmonic minor\u003c\/strong\u003e: G - A - Bb - C - D - Eb - F# - G\u003cbr\u003ePlayed starting on D, it becomes:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eD Hijaz\u003c\/strong\u003e: D - Eb - F# - G - A - Bb - C - D\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are different versions of how this scale is applied to Handpans.

For special tunings - especially low scales or extended handpan instruments with many additional tone fields and bottom notes - the production time can take up to three months.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMutant handpans, low scales and bottom notes at Kita Pantam:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKita Pantam is one of the few handpan manufacturers in the world that can produce almost all scales and tunings - even those that are considered particularly challenging, such as mutant handpans and low scales.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMutant 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eExtended 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLow scales, with the fundamental tone of scales B2 to F2, can also be made.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe process of making these special instruments is much more time-consuming and riskier than with standard handpans. The production can therefore take up to three months and is more cost-intensive than conventional tunings.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKita handpan made of nitrated steel:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNitrated steel is a heat-treated steel sheet into which nitrogen has been introduced. Nitrogen hardens the material and makes it more stable and resistant to strikes and contact with the instrument. This increases the tuning stability of the handpan and the player can enjoy the instrument for longer until it needs to be retuned. Nitrated steel was first used to make the first handpan drums and was later developed further by handpan, pantam and sound sculptor makers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlthough handpans are nowadays made of both nitrated steel and stainless steel, nitrated steel, the original material of the first handpans, still seems to be in 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 outdoor playing. In addition, notes have a clearer and separated sound, which optimizes the nitrated steel Kita pantams for faster and more professional playing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSteel is known to be susceptible to rust and corrosion, and so are the nitrated Kita pantams. To protect them from rust, they should always be maintained with the appropriate oil\/wax.

Using a special pressing process, they manage to press the shells evenly so that the material thickness is evenly distributed.

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 formation 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.

With this maqam, this tone selection also shares the arrangement of the tones if one assumes that the tonal center lies on the first tone in the circle. This creates the complete Phrygian mode, which is characterized by a semitone step from the root note to the second note of the scale and is responsible for the mysterious sound of the scale.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHowever, an ambivalence remains, as the DING is a fifth below the first note and thus appears like a second tonal center, which allows the mode to change to Aeolian (natural minor). Depending on how you play, you can switch between a natural minor and a Phrygian sound character. With \u003cem\u003eKurd\u003c\/em\u003e you can play anything from calm and meditative to melancholic to powerful and cheerful, with lots of variation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eKurd\u003c\/em\u003e shares with other minor variations (cf. Celtic Minor\/Integral) the leap 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 tone steps of a natural minor scale (aeolian). Kurd's semitone step between the first and second note is special. 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. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eAbout the manufacturer\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNima Taghavi started building handpans in 2015 and founded KitaDrums - now Kita Pantam - at the end of that year. Initially, Nima Taghavi built 12-inch steel tongue drums while exploring the art of handpan making. As the workflow and manufacturing processes evolved, the steel tongue drums were replaced by stainless steel instruments and soon after, tongue pans (overtone tongue drums) were added to the portfolio.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAt the end of 2017, Kita Pantam succeeded in building the first hand pans or pantams, as they call their instruments. Since then, the range of different instruments has been continuously expanded and improved. The team of 20 makers is now probably the highest quality manufacturer of handpans in Iran. All instruments are handmade by Nima and his team.

This tuning is one of the major variations, vibrating holistically. This scale is characterized by the increased tone on the fourth step of the scale. Thus the mode is Lydian. Overall, this scale sounds a little happier than the classic major tuning (Ionian). The Lydian mode is used extensively in traditional musical styles, such as the Forrò music of northeastern Brazil. This tuning is highly recommended for music therapy and free intuitive playing. It is also suitable for surrounding yourself with healing sounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e “Ashakiran” is the nickname for \u003cem\u003eSabye\u003c\/em\u003e , who expands the scale even further with a wider, higher pitch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eThe tone sequence starts from the DING to the first tone with a fourth jump, which acts like a prelude. From there it goes up gradually until there is a small jump in a third from the seventh tone, which turns the tone into an octave of the DING. This makes the sound a little more open, so that it is not grounded in the upper octave range, but vibrates freely. This tuning creates a major triad on the first, second and fourth notes, and a minor triad on the first, second and third notes.

Stickstoff sorgt für eine Härtung des Materials und macht es stabiler und wiederstandsfähiger gegenüber Anschlägen und Spielberührungen. Das erhöht die Stimmstabilität der Handpan und der Spieler hat länger Freude am Instrument bis es nachgestimmt werden muss.

Diese Art von Material bietet einen mittleren Sustain-Bereich, mehr Keramik und Clay Sound und hohe Frequenzen in den Tönen, was es gut für das Spielen im Freien macht. Darüber hinaus haben Noten einen klareren und getrennten Klang, was die Kita Pantams aus nitriertem Stahl für ein schnelleres und professionelleres Spielen optimiert.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStahl ist bekanntlich immer rost- und korrosionsanfällig, so auch die nitrierten Kita Pantams.

Mit Musik der Pygmäen hat diese Skala außer dem Namen wohl nur noch die Anzahl der Töne bis zur Oktave gemeinsam (Pentatonik). Für unsere westlichen Ohren wäre die equi-pentatonische Skala, die einige afrikanischer Völker traditionell benutzen, wohl auch sehr ungewohnt.

Diese Bezeichnung ist für uns nicht nachvollziehbar, da gar keine sechste Stufe vorhanden ist. Der Begriff \u003cem\u003edorian pentatonic \u003c\/em\u003eist wohl in Analogie zu den Kirchentonleitern entstanden. In Verbindung mit Pentatonik ergibt diese Herangehensweise wenig Sinn, da in diesem Beispiel der für den dorischen Modus absolut wichtige Ton der großen Sexte nicht vorhanden ist.

Das bedeutet, dass im Gegensatz zu einer normalen Dur - oder Mollpentatonik (anhemitonische Pentatoniken) auch ein Halbtonschritt mit dabei ist (vgl. engl. Semitone). Dieser befindet sich zwischen dem ersten Ton und dem zweiten Ton, somit sind die ersten drei Töne der natürlichen Molltonleiter (Äolisch) ohne Sprung in Pygmy vorhanden. Im Beispiel F Pygmy wäre das F-G-Ab. Von diesem Ton aus gibt es den Sprung einer großen Terz (auch genannt Durterz) zum Quintton (im Beispiel: Ton C) Danach folgt ein kleiner Terzsprung und ein Ganztonschritt, der zur Oktave führt.

Anfangs baute Nima Taghavi noch 12-Zoll-Stahlzungentrommeln und erforschte zeitgleich die Kunst des Handpanbaus. Mit der Weiterentwicklung des Workflows und der Fertigungsprozesse, wurden die Zungentrommeln aus Stahl durch Edelstahlinstrumente ersetzt und bald darauf wurden auch Tongue Pans (Obertönige Zungentrommeln) in das Portfolio mit aufgenommen.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEnde 2017 ist es KitaPantam gelungen, die ersten Handpans oder Pantams, wie sie ihre Instrumente bezeichnen, zu bauen. Seitdem wird das Angebot verschiedenster Instrumente immer weiter ausgebaut  und weiter verbessert. Das mittlerweile 20 köpfige Maker-Team ist heute der wohl hochwertigste Hersteller von Handpans aus dem Iran. Alle Instrumente werden von Nima und seinem Team handgefertigt. KitaPantam wird mit Leidenschaft, Hingabe und Perfektion hergestellt.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWir von Handpan.World sind dankbar über die sehr enge Zusammenarbeit und haben die Ehre, diese einzigartigen Instrumente exklusiv in Europa anzubieten. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kita Pantam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50367890915594,"sku":"KI-A214PYN2-pg","price":2790.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0409\/7949\/7128\/products\/KitaPantam-in-polished-gold-Handpan-spielen-lerne.jpg?v=1742953611"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0409\/7949\/7128\/collections\/Kita_Pantam-Handpan_kaufen-World.World-Polished-Blocks-Design-Topview-Cut.png?v=1731588694","url":"https:\/\/www.handpan.world\/it-in\/collections\/kita-pantam.oembed?page=2","provider":"Handpan.World","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
