MEINL Sonic Energy D Kurd 10-Tone Sensory Handpan

The MEINL Sonic Energy Sensory Handpan is hand forged from top-grade stainless steel with great care and precision that results in exquisite, ethereal sounds that fill the space around with ambient tone. Its visually stunning vintage gold finish makes a statement before even play it. At 22” in diameter, this handpan is tuned to the popular D Kurd scale (A4/a' 440Hz) with 10 notes. Anyone can enjoy its relaxing sound and create music with no prior skill because each note complements all others, meaning there are no wrong notes can hit. The root note is in the center with the rest of the scale surrounding it in nine pitch fields that produce a pure, calming and resonant sound. On the underside of MEINL's Sensory Handpan are two soundholes that face outward in opposite directions to provide a completely immersive sound effect for both the player and listeners. Included with all Sensory Handpans are two removable sound tubes that allow to alter the tonal qualities of the instrument. The longer tube is placed in the soundhole facing the lower pitches of the handpan, and the shorter tube faces the higher pitches. The immersive effect of this handpan makes it perfect for sound healing retreats, sound baths, meditation or just to calm mind in the morning or at night before sleep. This is a fantastic instrument to use as a gateway to relaxation and learning melodies. Due to its basic tuning of 440Hz, it can be wonderfully combined with other instruments. Included with the handpan are a stainless steel protection cover, a soft storage cover and a heavy-duty padded travel bag with synthetic wool interior, adjustable backpack straps and a strong carrying grip.
