D CELTIC 9
(D) A C D E F G A C
The Celtic Minor scale is one of the most beloved and enjoyed scales in the handpan world! We have sold more D Celtic Minors than any other scale in our 10 years of business! Celtic is known for its smooth, meditative mood without too much tension or darkness present. Great for everyone beginner to advanced for an effortless flow with endless melodies. Celtic Minor is a must for every handpan players arsenal!
D SABYE 9
(D) G A B C# D E F# A
The Sabye scale is one of the most popular of the major scales. The Sabye is a versatile scale, while rooted in a major key it has lots of different moods to access. The sweet side gives it a happy, uplifting feel, but it also has a nostalgic, melancholic side to it. Reminisce about the past while looking with hope towards the future. One of our favorite scales for a yoga shavasana or sound healing session!
D KURD 9
(D) A Bb C D E F G A
The Kurd scale, also called Annaziska, is a versatile and dynamic scale. Most handpan scales are pentatonic or hexatonic, meaning they are missing a few notes out of a “full scale”. However, the Kurd scale is a fully diatonic D minor, and for this reason is favored by many top players around the world! With the Kurd scale, you have so many accessible chords at your disposal that composing is effortless. Endless inspiration lies in the Kurd scale!

D BIG BEAR 10 (DXD)
(D) G A C D E F G A C
The Big Bear scale (also known as DXD) is a close relative of the Celtic Minor as well as Magic Voyage but with a slightly different mood. The addition of a low G3 opens the scale up with more warmth from a deeper start to the scale, and helps it open up the G/C major chords. A deeply relaxing scale to play, we love the Big Bear Scale! I find this scale to be very diverse and expansive the deeper I dive into it. A lush spread of notes covers 2 octaves of rich harmonies and smooth melodies. sit back and watch the stars around a nice fire with a Big Bear in your lap!
C AEGEAN 9
(C) E G B C E F# G B
The Aegean scale is a classic pentatonic Halo scale from Pantheon Steel. While it leans to the more major side of scales, it has a deep, introspective feeling to it. The C3 ding roots the instrument in C major/lydian, but the E3 also lends itself to a full expression of E minor, as well as strong hints at G major and B minor. Overall this scale has lots of melancholy feeling with a strong resolve. This versatile scale is a coveted favorite in the handpan community for it’s deep rich sounds, let this dreamy Aegean take you on a journey through time and space! Video coming Soon!
C# HIJAZ 9
(C#) G# B C# D F F# G# B
Take a trip through sand dunes on a magic carpet ride with the Hijaz scale! Scales like this just seem to play themselves, endless fun and inspiration! Sometimes other exotic, eastern scales can be a bit difficult to play without getting to know them first. Luckily, the layout for this Hijaz scale takes out all of the difficulty associated with these complex scales and is approachable for beginners and a treat to play for advanced players too! Video coming soon!
F LOW PYGMY 9
F) G Ab C Eb F G Ab C
The way Low Pygmy was described to me by another maker was if Pygmy and Magic Voyage had a love child, it would be the Low Pygmy. Bass note lovers, check this scale out! Adding an extra low note skipped in the Magic Voyage scale, you get a low rooted fully expressed Pygmy pentatonic scale. More versatile than a traditional Pygmy or a Magic Voyage, this sweet hybrid is definitely a personal favorite. A very unique experience compared to other handpan scales in the best of ways! Video coming soon!
