Sync Pro C# Annaziska / Kurd 10 - Ember Steel

Annaziska is the most well-known and popular handpan tuning, and the most neutral setup there is. This tuning is better known by the name Kurd, but these names refer to exactly the same tuning.

It is full minor tuning, without skipping any notes. This makes it exactly the same minor scale you would play on a guitar, piano or any other melodic instrument.

What makes Annaziska unique is that you can still go in any direction. Because all tones of the minor series pass by, you are the one who gives colour and direction to your playing. Other tunings often skip one or more tones, which also opens up beautiful paths, but in doing so also steers and colours your playing.

Are you looking for an open and neutral mood? Then Annaziska could be a great choice for you. A mood with endless possibilities!

Another name for Annaziska is also Kurd or Aeolian. These names represent exactly the same construction.

Ember Steel

Ember Steel is a material based on stainless steel, with modifications made to affect the sound. These modifications also affect its appearance, giving Ember Steel its distinctive reddish-brown copper colour.

Ember Steel is characterised by an above-average reverb, with tones that articulate a broad spectrum. Ember Steel gives nice deep lows, but at the same time has quite a present high.

You can recognise this by a warm sound, with lots of sparkling highs at the same time. This broad spectrum, combined with that characteristic long reverb, makes Ember Steel an ideal material for some slower, meditative and calming playing.

SYNC hand pans are the result of years of experience and continued development of knowledge and materials. SYNC hand pans use only the best metal combined with a unique nitration recipe. Not surprisingly, these hand pans are very popular. The nitration process ensures strength and stability in the metal, positively affects the timbre and makes the instrument well protected against corrosion. The name comes from the term “Synchronise” and that's exactly what you can do with these harmonic handpans: snatch your moment, reset for a moment and ‘synchronise’.
