This was and still is no easy undertaking and simply not possible for less than €1000 if a minimum standard of quality is to be guaranteed. However, as more and more cheap offers of low-quality \"handpan drum instruments\" under €1000 are flooding the Internet, we felt it was our responsibility to finally offer an alternative and, together with one of our manufacturers, KitaPantam, we have developed an ideal handpan that stands out in terms of its price-performance ratio.

It all started with nitrated handpans. When the first handpan drums came onto the market around the turn of the millennium, the stainless steel and embersteel handpans that are so popular today did not yet exist. For many years, handpan lovers were interested in nitrated instruments. And not without reason. The fine, penetrating sound of steel leaves plenty of room for careful listening. The slightly faster decay of the sounds makes the playing more percussive and rhythmic, and also more lively. The sound of nitrated handpans could also be described as earthier and more bass-heavy.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Experience the \"Eclipse\" series and let yourself be inspired by the magic of handpans.

Applying a special \u003cstrong\u003ecare oil for handpans\u003c\/strong\u003e creates a patina that protects your instrument from the effects of salts, acids and moisture. This prevents \u003cstrong\u003erust and discoloration of the material\u003c\/strong\u003e 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 might have found its place in spiritual ceremonies in Celtic times. Compared to the full Aeolian mode, the sixth step is missing here, which makes this tuning a little more open. You can play very beautiful harmonies, especially in the upper range.

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 playability 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).
