A2 Minor 9 is a unique of its kind! Whereas most tunings move after the ding to the fourth or fifth note in series (the fourth or fifth), this key moves in a bigger jump from the ding, which is an A2, to the next A in the series. A jump of not four or five, but as many as eight notes.
This bigger jump, creates more space for other notes. Thus, the rest of this construction is the entire scale, without skipping notes. So in terms of total number of different notes, it is the same tuning as the popular Kurd tuning, but from a different starting point.
A2 Minor 9 is a nice tuning for the player who, on the one hand, likes a deep low tone (A2 is one of the lower available fundamentals), but at the same time does not want to sacrifice melodic possibilities. A handpan with two different faces that blend seamlessly!
Stainless steel
Stainless steel is characterised by medium to above-average reverberation, and a nice clear sound. The mid-high fresh sound is something that comes out clearly with the sound of stainless steel. It has a bit less (top) high and a bit less low than Ember Steel, but moves a bit more into the (high) middle.
This makes stainless steel a fine and fresh sound, which today forms a nice middle ground within all the different sounds in terms of materials. It has slightly less reverb than Ember Steel, but clearly more reverb than nitrided steel.
