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

Celtic D minor handpan in hand-engraved nitrided steel, in gold or silver

Celtic is the most melodic of the D minor tunings. It sounds like it's telling a story, almost like a song you already know. This one is made of nitrided steel with a mandala engraved by hand, comes in gold or silver, and has 9, 10, or 12 notes.

Celtic D minor: the storytelling scale

Where Kurd feels meditative, Celtic sounds melodic. The spacing between its notes invites you to play melodies rather than just soundscapes. It's popular with people who sing or play a second instrument. See every model in our Celtic handpans collection.

Hand-engraved nitrided steel

The nitrided shell adds warmth and depth, and the engraving makes each instrument one of a kind. The gold or silver colour forms in the material itself, so it won't flake off.

For players with high standards

It's made for players who are past the beginner stage and care about both sound and looks. Available in 440 Hz or 432 Hz.

Why Resonance

Every instrument is retuned by hand and individually sound-checked before shipping. Insured shipping 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.
