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.
With the extended version, you have two extra low notes and one extra high note at your disposal, which make the leap from the ‘ding’ (the central middle note) to the next notes a little smaller and offer more melodic possibilities. These extra notes on your handpan add a whole new dimension and a wealth of possibilities to 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.
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.
