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

Handpan Kurd or Celtic D minor in nitrided steel with hand engraving

The top model of the Elysium series: nitrided steel, full-surface hand engraving and the choice between the two most popular scales in D minor. An instrument for players who do not want to buy another one. With 9, 10 or 12 notes.

Kurd or Celtic - you decide the character

Kurd sounds meditative, deep and carries itself. Celtic is more melodic and invites you to tell stories. Both in D minor, both playable without prior knowledge. Compare them in our collections Kurd and Celtic.

Nitrided steel, finished to the highest standard

Longer finishing, more finely worked tone fields and a full-surface hand engraving. The sound is warm, dense and exceptionally even across all notes.

Why Resonance

Every instrument is retuned by hand and individually sound-checked before dispatch. Dispatched within 24 hours, insured and tracked. 30-day returns. For any question about choosing, you can reach us before and after your purchase.

What matters is not which scale looks best on paper, but which one moves you when you listen. Minor tunings usually feel warm and inward-looking, major tunings more open and bright. So take your time and listen to the sound sample of the model you like. If you want to play with other instruments, 440 Hz is the simplest choice.
