Sela Harmony D Kurd 10+3 Handpan

Handcrafted D Kurd Handpan with Ember Steel Warmth

The Sela Harmony Handpan D Kurd 10+3 Ember Steel is a fully handmade steel handpan tuned to the iconic D Kurd scale at 440 Hz. With 10 top notes around the central ding plus 3 bottom notes for added depth, this model gives players a wide melodic palette. The D Kurd (D minor) tuning is one of the most widely used handpan scales, lending itself to everything from slow meditation sessions to upbeat rhythmic playing. Ember Steel construction delivers a sustain between nitrided steel and conventional stainless steel handpans, producing a warm, controlled tone.

Ember Steel Construction and Hand-Hammered Craftsmanship

Each Sela Harmony Ember Steel handpan is built from two steel bowls that are completely hand-hammered and shaped, then joined with rubber strips and finished with a distinctive brown surface treatment unique to the Ember Steel line. The alloy is naturally resistant to humidity, sweat, and environmental wear, so the instrument will not develop the patina that affects many other steel handpans over time. A resonance port on the underside supports the sustained sound, while the central dome and surrounding tone fields are individually tuned by hand.
