Sela Harmony Handpan F L Pygmy 211

Handpans are made by hand to be played by hand. The small dome in the middle of the Sela Harmony Handpan F Low Pygmy 211 produces the lowest note (F3, 440Hz), also called the central note. Surrounding this point, the eight other tone fields are arranged in a circle (G3, G#3, C4, D#4, F4, G4, G#4, C5), although the sequence of notes progresses from left to right, for a natural, instinctive playfeel. All notes are on the intense and expressive D minor scale. The tone fields are played by tapping or striking them with the fingers or the ball of the thumb; they respond sensitively and clearly to the slightest touch. Depending on where the tone field is struck, players can also generate partial tones and use the 'empty' areas between the tone fields for percussive accents. Handpans are usually played while seated and placed on the legs, although there are also stands available that allow musicians to play while standing, and even use several handpans at once.
