Dwarf is minor mood, during which minor seventh and fourth skipped. So you have five of the seven notes from the minor series. A slightly different tone choice than with the regular Pygmy.
What Dwarf truly unique is that there is no jump between the thing and the next tone. Whereas almost every tuning after the ding skips a few notes in the sequence, at Dwarf more part of the other tones, as it were.
Dwarf is thus not so much a tuning with a bass (the central centre, the thing), and melody around it. In this tuning, a single entity forms, where the ding is part of the melody, and the focus as a whole is more on melody than on bass.
By the name Dwarf you would quickly think of a low mood. Yet Dwarf just a little higher in terms of tuning. This contributes to the beautiful melodic and sparkling character of this tuning. Definitely a unique tuning within hand pan tunings!
High Chrome Titanium Stainless Steel
High Chrome Titanium Stainless Steel is a stainless steel-based material inspired by the sounds of Ember Steel.
It is a material that shows especially strong similarities to Ember Steel: an above-average long reverb, with a sound that reproduces both a nice deep long as well as a fresh and sparkling high.
High Chrome Titanium Stainless Steel often has a slightly warmer and rounder character than Ember Steel. The top high, which can be recognised by a sparkling or bright sound, is often present just a little more subtly than with Ember Steel. Sometimes this is also due to a slightly thicker shell, which also affects the sound of each material.
