Sela Melody Handpan - E Kurd
Scale: E Kurd
E3/ B3, C4, D4, E4, F#4, G4, A4, B4
Tuning: 440hz
Material: Nitrided steel
Included Bag: Soft, padded
Sela Melody Handpans offer an outstandingly affordable entry into the world of handpans without having to make any compromises in sound and workmanship. They are partly machine-made and consist of nitrided steel. Nitriding hardens the surface of the handpan, which gives it a percussive sound that decays much faster than that of stainless steel handpans. Due to their shorter sustain, nitrided handpans are also ideal for fast playing, as the notes are more clearly separated from each other and overlap less. This property is also very beneficial for beginners, as improvising and playing by gut feeling is much easier. Handpans made of nitrided steel require more care than stainless steel models and should therefore be cleaned regularly and protected from moisture. Sela Melody handpans have a matt, dark blue finish, which gives them a subtle and fascinating look.
The tuning E Kurd (fundamental frequency 440 Hz) is a whole tone above the popular D Kurd scale. The central note in the middle of the handpan is E3, around it are arranged in a circle the notes B3, C4, D4, E4, F#4, G4, A4 and B4. Due to its bright E minor scale, the E Kurd can be used to play a wide variety of melodies, from quietly meditative to melancholy to powerful and cheerful. The model is just as suitable as a solo instrument as it is for playing together with other handpans or other instruments such as tongue drums, guitar or percussion.
Each Sela Handpan comes with a bag made of tear-resistant nylon fabric, which, thanks to its good lining, provides optimal protection during transport. It can be carried either by hand with the two handles or comfortably as a backpack with the adjustable shoulder straps. A practical outer compartment offers enough space for small accessories such as a metronome.
