Handpan Kurd D Minor 9-12 Notes - Nitrided Steel, Hand-Engraved

Kurd or Celtic D minor handpan in nitrided steel, engraved by hand

The Elysium is the flagship of its series: a nitrided steel handpan engraved by hand over its entire surface, with a warm sound that stays even from note to note. You choose between the two most popular D minor scales, Kurd and Celtic, and between 9, 10 or 12 notes. It's made for players who want this to be their last handpan.

Kurd or Celtic: you choose the character

Kurd sounds meditative and deep, and it stands on its own. Celtic is more melodic and invites you to tell a story as you play. Both are in D minor, and you can play either one without any musical background. Compare them in our Kurd and Celtic collections.

Nitrided steel, finished to the highest standard

This model gets a longer finishing process, more finely shaped tone fields, and hand engraving over the entire surface. The sound is warm, dense, and exceptionally even across all notes.

Built for decades of playing

Nitrided steel is protected against corrosion and holds its tuning. With normal care, this handpan will stay with you for a lifetime. It's available in 440 Hz or 432 Hz.

Why Resonance

Before it ships, every instrument is fine-tuned by hand and sound-checked one by one. Insured delivery with tracking. 30-day returns. Questions about which one to choose? You can reach us before and after you buy.

Choose the scale that moves you when you listen, not the one that looks best on paper. Minor tunings usually feel warm and introspective, while major tunings feel more open and bright. Take your time listening to the sound sample of the model you like. If you plan to play with other instruments, 440 Hz is the easiest choice.

Yes. A handpan's notes are tuned so that any sequence of notes sounds harmonious. You don't need sheet music or lessons. Start with a few notes and simple rhythms. The short guide next to the note options shows you how many notes are right for you.
