B2 Koana 9 + 4 is a tuning designed for Kasper van der Meulen. A tuning that offers the delicious low of B minor combines with it a higher-than-usual further mood.
Whereas a regular B2 tuning after the ding often moves towards E3 or F#3, this tuning jumps immediately to B3, i.e. eight notes higher than the ding.
This big jump allows for substantial steps towards higher and more sparkling tones. It turns B2 Koana 9 + 4 a lovely fresh handpan tuning, while maintaining a nice warm bass.
The four extra bottom tones also give you more range. Three of them fill the space that exists between the B2 and the B3, while one tone adds a little more range in the high end. All this makes B2 Koana 9 + 4 a fresh and melodic mood, which quickly captured the imagination.
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.
