This was and still is not an easy undertaking and is simply not possible for less than €1000 if a minimum standard of quality is to be guaranteed. However, since 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 developed an ideal handpan that was price-performance-friendly stands out.

It all started with the nitrided handpans. When the first handpan drums came onto the market around the turn of the 2000s, the stainless steel and embersteel handpans that are so popular today did not yet exist. For many years, handpan enthusiasts were interested in nitrided instruments. And not without reason. The fine, penetrating sound of the 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 bassier.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eExperience the \"Eclipse\" series and be inspired by the magic of handpans.

This tone selection 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 from the fundamental tone to the second tone of the scale and is responsible for the mysterious sound of the scale.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e However, there remains an ambivalence, since the DING is a fifth below the first tone 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 natural minor and Phrygian sound characteristics. With \u003cem\u003eKurd\u003c\/em\u003e you can play anything from calm and meditative to melancholic to powerful and happy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eKurd\u003c\/em\u003e shares with other minor variations (cf. Celtic Minor\/Integral) the jump from a fifth from the DING to the first tone. From this fifth level, assuming that the tonal center is the THING, one has all the tonal steps of a natural minor scale (Aeolian). What is special about Kurd is the half-tone 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 (see Semai Kurd), but also in the Phrygian mode.
