The Elara Handpan – D Kurd | 9, 10, 12 & 14 Notes
Discover a deeper, more expressive way to play with the Elara Handpan, a stainless steel D Kurd handpan designed for intuitive melodies, meditation, relaxation, improvisation and more advanced musical exploration.
Its warm, resonant character and long sustain create a rich, immersive sound that feels immediately accessible, whether you are discovering the handpan for the first time or expanding your existing collection.
Crafted from stainless steel, the Elara combines durability, resonance and a smooth playing response. Its engraved tone fields and refined handcrafted finish give each instrument a distinctive visual identity while preserving the organic character of a traditional handpan.
Available in Silver and Gold, as well as 432 Hz or 440 Hz tuning, the Elara can be configured to suit both your musical style and personal preference.
Available Note Configurations
9 Notes – D Kurd
D3 · A3 · Bb3 · C4 · D4 · E4 · F4 · G4 · A4
This is the most intuitive configuration in the range. The central D3 Ding anchors the instrument, while the surrounding notes create the flowing, emotional character associated with the D Kurd scale. It is an excellent choice for beginners, meditation, yoga and spontaneous improvisation.
10 Notes – Extended D Kurd
D3 · A3 · Bb3 · C4 · D4 · E4 · F4 · G4 · A4 · C5
The 10-note version keeps the familiar D Kurd structure while adding C5, giving you more melodic freedom and a wider upper register. It is ideal for players who want to move beyond the traditional 9-note layout without making the instrument overly complex.
12 Notes – Extended D Configuration
According to the supplied note layout:
D3 · A3 · Bb3 · C1 · D1 · E1 · F1 · G1 · A1 · C5 · D5 · F5
This extended layout offers a broader tonal range, with additional lower and higher notes designed for more complex patterns, layered melodies and expanded compositions.
14 Notes – Extended Range
The 14-note version offers the widest playing range in the Elara collection. It is designed for players who want maximum melodic freedom, more advanced compositions and a larger selection of complementary tones around the central D note.
Why Choose the Elara?
The Elara is designed to balance accessibility and musical depth. The 9-note model is simple and intuitive, while the 10, 12 and 14-note versions progressively expand the available range for players who want greater creative freedom.
Its D Kurd / D Minor character delivers a warm, introspective and emotional sound that works especially well for:
Meditation · Yoga · Sound Healing · Relaxation · Improvisation · Composition · Personal Practice
