Majesty Handpan C# Pygmy 17 (9+8) (440 Hz) incl. bag | Sela

Sela Majesty Stainless Steel Handpans are made of the highest quality stainless steel and are completely handcrafted and meticulously tuned by some of the best handpan makers in the world. They sound even better than our popular Harmony Stainless Steel models. Handpans made of stainless steel have a significantly 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 care for. Sela Majesty Stainless Steel Handpans have a shiny, bronze-colored finish that creates a very elegant, high-quality and at the same time mysterious look. Each model in the Majesty series is also supplied with a handpan rope. The decorative band protects the edge of the handpan and also gives it an individual look.

The C# Pygmy tuning (basic frequency 440 Hz) is one of our best-selling scales. The central note in the middle of the handpan is C#3, around which are arranged in a circle the notes F#3, G#3, A3, C#4, E4, F#4, G#4 and A4. This model also has 8 additional "bottom notes", i.e. 8 additional sound fields on the underside of the handpan. Here are the notes D3, E3, B3, D4, B4, C#5, D5 and E5. This creates an earthy, warm and mysterious sound character.

This scale is an excellent choice for beginners because it is very intuitive to play, and at the same time offers advanced players a wide musical range despite its rather dark timbre. With a total of 17 tones, there are significantly more playing options than with a conventional C# Pygmy Handpan without bottom notes, but this also increases the level of difficulty. Nevertheless, the Majesty Handpan C# Pygmy 17 Stainless Steel is not only recommended for advanced players, as beginners can initially ignore the additional tones 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 using the two handles or comfortably as a backpack using the adjustable shoulder straps. A practical outer compartment offers enough space for small accessories such as a metronome.
