Choose Your Note Range

9 Notes – Essential D Kurd Layout
D3 / A3 / Bb3 / C4 / D4 / E4 / F4 / G4 / A4

The 9-note version offers the classic, intuitive D Kurd layout. The central D3 Ding provides the tonal foundation, surrounded by eight complementary notes on the main playing surface.

This configuration is particularly easy to understand and explore, making it an excellent choice for first-time handpan players, meditation, intuitive playing and simple melodic improvisation.

10 Notes – Extended Melodic Range
D3 / A3 / Bb3 / C4 / D4 / E4 / F4 / G4 / A4 / C5

The 10-note configuration keeps the familiar D Kurd structure while adding a higher C5.

That additional note gives you more room to develop melodies and transitions without making the instrument overly complex. It is a strong choice for beginners who want room to progress or intermediate players looking for greater melodic flexibility.

12 Notes – Wider Range for Composition
D3 / A3 / Bb3 / C4 / D4 / E4 / F4 / G4 / A4 / C5 / D5 / E5

The 12-note version extends the upper register with D5 and E5, opening up a broader melodic range.

With more notes available, you can build longer phrases, richer variations and more developed compositions while preserving the intuitive character of the D Kurd scale.

This version is especially suited to intermediate and advanced players who want greater creative freedom.

14 Notes – Full Extended D Kurd Range
D3 / F3 / G3 / A3 / Bb3 / C4 / D4 / E4 / F4 / G4 / A4 / C5 / D5 / E5

The 14-note configuration offers the widest tonal range of the Aurelis collection.

It expands the standard D Kurd layout with the additional lower F3 and G3 bass notes, giving the instrument greater depth and more possibilities for bass-to-melody transitions. On this extended configuration, the additional low notes can be positioned on the underside of the handpan, allowing the main playing surface to retain a comfortable layout.

This version is ideal for experienced players, advanced improvisation and more complex melodic or harmonic compositions. handpan-musique.com

432Hz or 440Hz

Choose the tuning that best suits how you plan to use your handpan.

432Hz offers an alternative reference tuning often chosen for solo playing, relaxation and meditative settings.

440Hz uses the standard modern concert reference pitch and is the more practical choice when playing alongside other conventionally tuned instruments.

The musical relationships between the notes remain the same; the reference pitch changes.
