Sync Pro C# Annaziska / Kurd 9 - Nitrided

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.

Nitrided Steel

Nitrated steel is characterised by a short to medium sustain, and a warm and deep sound. It has fewer high frequencies than stainless steel or ember steel, giving the sound of nitrated steel a more rounded character.

This round character, combined with a short to medium sustain, makes nitrided steel a versatile material, capable of producing both meditative and percussive sounds.

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’.
