Sync Pro F2 Pygmy 9 - Ember Steel

The F2 Pygmy is a completely unique tuning. Just because of the enormously low ding, which is considerably lower than virtually any other tuning. Other F2 tunings are being added all the time, but the first tuning in this area was F2 Pygmy.

The structure of the F2 Pygmy is similar to that of Low Pygmy. The build-up is exactly the same as Low Pygmy, but then another bass note is added, which is as much as 8 notes lower than the second-lowest note. So a Low Pygmy with an added bass.

The F2 Pygmy is an impressive tuning. The low frequencies in this pan create a nice warm blanket that is easy to play over. This combined with the fine and accessible playable structure of Low Pygmy makes it a fine tuning to play. Highly recommended for bass enthusiasts!

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’.
