Handpan

Handpan, by Ergo Kukke, is a magical journey in D-minor and Chromatic scales.

This specific Handpan is made out of thickened nitrided steel, which gives it a softer moody and cinematic sound.

It resonates in a way that can be used for rhythmic play, but also has a tail that is perfect for meditative and slow performances.

It has a sound that captivates the soul.

Also known as Hang or Pan Drum, the Handpan has an enchanting sound that transports you to a realm of serenity and inspiration.

Handpan - Rhythmic, Meditative and Cinematic Sounds

With a 22 inch/56 cm diameter and hand-hammered tuned, this handpan is recorded with high resolution 192kHz stereo and the aim was to capture sound of the Handpan the way you would hear it when playing it on your lap.

Now available in your DAW, Handpan brings you a mesmerizing sound both in D-minor and extended chromatic scale.

Pro’s of D-minor presets – the instrument’s resonances are the most natural and whole in the pan’s body.

If it was tuned, then the small resonances between notes would misalign.

So this is more natural and it is easy to get the hang of playing this way of playing.

Pro’s of the chromatic presets – allows you to extend the instrument to any scale you wish.
