Ethereal, deep, resonant, and soothing are just four of the words you could use to describe Sela Harmony Handpans. Sometimes called hang drums, handpans are a new breed of pitched percussion instruments that are gaining popularity around the world. The signature open tone is produced by hand-hammered stainless steel with nine tone fields on the top. Each tone field is professionally tuned to ensure that the Harmony Handpan is perfectly in tune with itself for the life of the instrument. All you need to do is pick it up and play, no tuning required! Even beginners will find it easy to pick up the Harmony Handpan. All the notes are placed in an intuitive pattern, so it’s easy to get started. From soothing lullabies to frenetic percussive parts, the Harmony Handpan can create music to fit any mood. The only limit is your imagination.





Note: The Sela SE201 is tuned to D Kurd (D, A, Bb, C, D, E, F, G, A). This diatonic minor scale makes for powerful, emotional playing.
