Sela Nomo D Kurd 9 Handpan

Sela Nomo Handpan D Kurd 9 Stainless Steel — Hand-Tuned Melodic Percussion

The Sela Nomo Handpan D Kurd 9 Stainless Steel is a hand-tuned melodic percussion instrument crafted from two hand-hammered stainless steel bowls. Tuned to the popular D Kurd scale at 440 Hz, this model produces warm, resonant tones with long sustain that respond easily to a light touch. The instrument is designed for musicians, meditation practitioners, and sound explorers who want an accessible entry into handpan playing. Stainless steel construction is weather- and humidity-resistant, so the drum reacts consistently in any environment.

What Sets the Nomo Apart

The Nomo series stands out thanks to its fully hand-hammered stainless steel build and its straightforward nine-note D Kurd layout. Rubber strips hold the two bowls together, while a resonance port at the base shapes the open, ethereal character of each tone.
