SELA SE-215 Unity Handpan C# Kurd 9

Description

The handpan is an absolutely beginner-friendly instrument where percussion and melody meet. Playing the handpan creates soothing, spherical and long-lasting soundscapes that completely captivate both the player and the listener. Neither previous experience nor knowledge of music theory is necessary, because all the tone fields on the handpan are on a fixed scale. With most models, it is not possible to strike dissonant notes, i.e. notes that sound “wrong”. Therefore, you can follow your own intuition while playing and lose yourself in mysterious, dreamy melodies after only a short time. With a little practice, of course, more complicated rhythms, captivating chords and two-part melodies are also possible.

Sela Unity handpans are identical in construction to the stainless steel models in the Harmony series, but are tuned to the fundamental frequency of 432 Hz (concert pitch A). As they do not harmonise with conventionally tuned instruments (440 Hz), they are mainly suitable as solo instruments and are mainly used for esoteric or sound-therapeutic purposes. Compared to our best-selling models D Kurd and D Amara, the tuning C# Kurd sounds a little more meditative and carrying. The central note in the middle of the handpan is C#3, around which the notes G#3, A3, B3, C#4, D#4, E4, F#4 and G#4 are arranged in a circle. Particularly practical: an overview of the scale with the individual tone fields is lasered onto the underside of the handpan.
