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

Handpan Celtic D minor in nitrided steel with hand engraving - in gold or silver

The Celtic tuning is the most melodic variant in D minor: it sounds narrative, almost like a song that already exists. On nitrided steel with a mandala engraving worked in by hand, available in gold or silver, with 9, 10 or 12 notes.

Celtic D minor - the storytelling scale

Where Kurd feels meditative, Celtic is melodic. The intervals invite you to play melodies rather than just soundscapes. Popular with anyone who sings or plays a second instrument. All models in our collection Celtic handpans.

Nitrided steel with hand engraving

The nitrided body brings warmth and depth; the engraving makes the instrument one of a kind. The gold or silver colouring is created in the material itself and does not flake off.

For players with high standards

Why Resonance

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.
