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.
Stainless steel
Stainless steel is characterised by medium to above-average reverberation, and a nice clear sound. The mid-high fresh sound is something that comes out clearly with the sound of stainless steel. It has a bit less (top) high and a bit less low than Ember Steel, but moves a bit more into the (high) middle.
This makes stainless steel a fine and fresh sound, which today forms a nice middle ground within all the different sounds in terms of materials. It has slightly less reverb than Ember Steel, but clearly more reverb than nitrided steel.
