Sela Melody Handpan D Amara Stainless Steel (440 Hz) With Bag

Melody Handpan D Amara Stainless Steel: Handmade handpan with the notes D3 / A3, C4, D4, E4, F4, G4, A4, C5, incl. padded bag.

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, more complicated rhythms, captivating chords and two-part melodies are possible.

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 a stainless steel alloy. Handpans made of stainless steel have a much longer sustain than models made of nitrided steel and are therefore particularly suitable for slow, relaxing and meditative playing. At the same time, they are very easy to clean and well suited for beginners, as their fast, sensitive response requires less effort to play. Sela Melody handpans have a matt silver finish, which gives them a subtle and fascinating look.

The D Amara tuning (fundamental frequency 440 Hz) is one of the most popular handpan scales around. The central note in the middle of the handpan is D3, around it are arranged in a circle the notes A3, C4, D4, E4, F4, G4, A4 and C5. Due to its bright-sounding D minor scale, the D Amara can be used to play a wide variety of melodies, ranging from quietly meditative to melancholy to powerful and cheerful. The model is therefore 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.
