STEEL TONGUE DRUMS The Meinl Sonic Energy sensory handle is hand forged from premium stainless steel with great care and precision, resulting in exquisite, ethereal sounds that fill the space around you with ambient tone. Its visually stunning vintage gold finish makes a statement before you even touch it. With 22? meter in diameter, this handpan is tuned to the popular D Amara scale (A4/a' 440 Hz) with 10 notes. Anyone can enjoy its relaxing sound and create music without any prior skills because each note complements all the others, meaning there are no wrong notes you can play. The root note is in the center with the rest of the scale surrounding it in nine tone fields that produce a pure, soothing and resonant sound. At the bottom of our Sensory Handpan are two sound holes that face outward in opposite directions to provide a completely immersive sound effect for both the player and listeners. Included with all Sensory Handpans are two removable sound tubes that allow you to alter the tonal qualities of the instrument. The longer tube is placed in the sound hole facing the lower tones of the handpan, and the shorter tube faces the higher tones. The immersive effect of this handpan makes it perfect for sound healing retreats, sound baths, meditation or simply calming the mind in the morning or at night before bed. This is a fantastic instrument to use as a gateway to relaxation and learning melodies. Due to its basic 440 Hz tuning, it can be combined wonderfully with other instruments. Included with the handpan is a stainless steel protective cover, a soft storage cover and a heavy-duty padded travel bag with synthetic wool interior, adjustable backpack straps and a strong carrying handle.
