With their powerful and deep sound, the Magical Handpans represent sensuality. Their shape and subtle vibrations symbolically imply the feminine. Their magical sound field is characterized by very stable tones.
Each individual handpan is carefully crafted with attention to detail. As perfectly balanced musical instruments, they are brought into optimal shape and harmony. The Magical Handpans are robust and at the same time elegant in their delicacy.
This handpan has its origins in Spain. A huge press machine supplies the raw material for a group of local manufacturers, stamping the hemispherical basic shape onto the highest quality steel shells. The joint optimization always guarantees the best quality. Manual hammering power brings the Magical Handpans to their sound excellence, blow by blow.

Mood description Kurd:
The Kurd tuning is, if you will, the natural minor variant of the handpan tunings. Due to its particularly harmonious composition of notes, it is particularly suitable for beginners. With it, you can play everything from calm and meditative to melancholic to powerful and cheerful, with a wide variety of styles.
Even though this mood 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 at the same time. You can of course also consciously use this tension to spice up your playing and make the relaxation seem stronger afterwards.
This tuning is one of the first seven-tone tunings that was built and has become very popular through some videos on the Internet.

Origin and music theory of the Kurdish tuning:
Kurd 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.
However, 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. With Kurd, you can play everything from calm and meditative to melancholic to powerful and cheerful, with a wide variety of styles.
Kurd shares with other minor variations (cf. 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.
