Kurd is the most well-known and popular handpan tuning, and the most neutral arrangement there is. It is the full minor tuning, without any notes being skipped. This makes it the exact same minor scale as you would play on a guitar, piano or any other melodic instrument.
What makes Kurd unique is that you can still go either way with it. 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 nice paths, but in doing so also steers and colours your playing.
Are you looking for an open and neutral mood? Then Kurd could be a great choice for you. A mood with endless possibilities!
Another name for Kurd is also called Annaziska 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’.
