Tuning Aspects
The 9 Note D Kurd Handpan Generation 4 is tuned no differently to any of our other D Kurd Minor scale Handpans however, you will notice that our Generation 4 Handpans have a particular finesse and intonation when playing quietly. The Generation 4 Handpans are ideal for any quieter setting that requires a little more delicacy or gentleness yet without losing the beauty of the instrument’s sound. Not the best for projection but ideal for smaller get-togethers. Check out our Generation 3 Handpans if you looking for projection or our Generation 7 Handpans if you are looking for something with even more resonance and sustain.
Powder-Coated Handpans
Our powder-coated handpans are heat-fused onto the handpan in what would typically be considered an added layer of protection in other metal industries but in the case of our handpans is purely for aesthetic purposes, opening up a whole new range of colorful handpans to choose from – particularly for our entry-level and most affordable models, the Generation 4s. The powder-coating does not adversely affect the sound in any way and if anything, adds an additional layer of protection against the elements – just checkout Ethereal in E’s many colored-handpans-in-water (our powder-coated Generation 4 handpans!) videos to see what we mean! Powder-coating is different to Hydro-dipped-coating whose colors and designs are little more complex and which we reserve only for our Generation 7 models here.

All Generation 4 handpans come with a Gu hole (for resonance) and are made of nitrided steel. Note that all handpans come with a black protective rubber belt (even if images may show other colors) which serves as an added protector and sealer for the handpan.
