Celtic Minor is a popular variation within minor tunings, consistently omitting one note. This is the sixth note in the scale, also known as the minor sixth.
By omitting this tone, a more open and peaceful sound is created. It is very similar to pentatonic, although for that, one more tone would need to be omitted (the minor second).
Celtic Minor is an ideal tuning for free and intuitive playing. Skipping that one note, the minor sixth, creates a nice open tuning, which mainly contains notes that blend nicely together.
Even with free play, the chance of a beautiful and harmonious match is therefore very high. This makes this structure a friendly and inviting mood, which invites a grateful way of exploring your handpan.
Another name for Celtic Minor is Amara. These two designations represent exactly the same structure.
High Chrome Titanium Stainless Steel
High Chrome Titanium Stainless Steel is a stainless steel-based material inspired by the sounds of Ember Steel.
It is a material that shows especially strong similarities to Ember Steel: an above-average long reverb, with a sound that reproduces both a nice deep long as well as a fresh and sparkling high.
High Chrome Titanium Stainless Steel often has a slightly warmer and rounder character than Ember Steel. The top high, which can be recognised by a sparkling or bright sound, is often present just a little more subtly than with Ember Steel. Sometimes this is also due to a slightly thicker shell, which also affects the sound of each material.
