Handpan Sela Majesty Stainless Steel Series SE-314, F2 Pygmy 17 (9+8), 440Hz, Incl. Padded Bag

The handpan is an absolutely beginner-friendly instrument where percussion and melody meet. Playing the handpan creates soothing, spherical and long-lasting soundscapes that completely captivate both the player and the listener. Neither previous experience nor knowledge of music theory is necessary, because all the tone fields on the handpan are on a fixed scale. With most models, it is not possible to strike dissonant notes, i.e. notes that sound "wrong". Therefore, you can follow your own intuition while playing and lose yourself in mysterious, dreamy melodies after only a short time. With a little practice, of course, more complicated rhythms, captivating chords and two-part melodies are also possible. A handpan is just as suitable as a solo instrument as it is for playing together with other handpans or other instruments such as tongue drums, guitar or percussion.

Sela Majesty Stainless Steel Handpans are made of the highest quality stainless steel and are handcrafted and tuned by some of the best handpan makers in the world. They sound even better than our popular Harmony Stainless Steel models. Stainless steel handpans have a much longer sustain than nitrided handpans and are therefore particularly suitable for slow, relaxing and meditative playing. At the same time they are very easy to clean. Sela Majesty Stainless Steel handpans have a shiny, bronze-coloured finish, which provides a very noble, high-quality and at the same time mysterious look. Each model in the Majesty series also comes with a handpan rope. The decorative band protects the edge of the handpan and also gives it an individual look.

The F2 Pygmy tuning (fundamental frequency 440 Hz) provides an earthy, warm and mysterious sound character. The central note in the middle of the handpan is F2, around which the notes F3, G3, Ab3, C4, Eb4, F4, G4 and Ab4 are arranged in a circle. This model also has eight additional bottom notes on the underside of the handpan. These are the notes C3, Eb3, Bb3, Db4, C5, Db5, Eb5 and F5. With a total of 17 tone fields, there are considerably more playing possibilities than with a conventional C sharp Pygmy handpan without bottom notes, although this also increases the degree of difficulty. Nevertheless, the Majesty Handpan C# Pygmy 17 Stainless Steel is not only recommended for advanced players, as beginners can ignore the additional tone fields at first and then gradually incorporate them into their melodies later.

Each Sela Handpan comes with a bag made of tear-resistant nylon fabric, which, thanks to its good lining, provides optimal protection during transport. It can be carried either by hand with the two handles or comfortably as a backpack with the adjustable shoulder straps. A practical outer compartment offers enough space for small accessories such as a metronome
