Description

A 10-note D Kurd handpan designed for free improvisation, flowing melodies, and both calm and rhythmic playing.

Its 10 notes let you develop natural musical phrases, move from one idea to the next without breaking the flow, and combine melody and rhythm on a single instrument. It works just as well for spontaneous playing as it does for creating more structured pieces.

D Kurd is one of the most widely played handpan scales, so tutorials, play-alongs, and backing tracks are easy to find online whenever you want to learn, improve, or simply discover new ideas.

Choose black, silver, or bronze, tuned to 440 Hz or 432 Hz.

It arrives ready to play, with a folding stand, a padded carrying bag, a rattan edge protector, and a cleaning cloth.

The sound matches well

I was a little worried about how it would turn out ordering online, especially the sound... Honestly I'm really happy, it sounds like the videos that made me want to buy one in the first place.

Such an intuitive instrument

I originally bought it for myself, but my daughter started playing it too. She learned really fast and now she plays it really well. It's such an intuitive instrument.

No regrets

I had been thinking about ordering a handpan online for a while but I have no regrets. The sound is really great, it looks beautiful and it's very enjoyable to play.

What makes the handpan a joy to play

Every note works beautifully with the others

The notes of a handpan are tuned to harmonize naturally. You can play freely without worrying about hitting a wrong note. Music begins to take shape from your very first touch.

No musical background required

You don't need to read music, know scales, or have played an instrument before. Start with a simple rhythm, repeat what sounds good, and build from there at your own pace.

A moment to unwind

Come home, sit down, and play for 5 minutes as the day begins to fade away. It's a simple ritual many players come back to, a little time to yourself guided by the rhythm of the notes.

Plenty of guidance when you want it

D Kurd is one of the most widely played handpan scales, so tutorials, play-alongs, and lessons are easy to find online. If you want more structure, you won't have to figure everything out on your own.

Frequently asked questions

All three use the same D Kurd scale and are designed to harmonize naturally. The 9-note layout feels spacious and intuitive, the 10-note layout offers a balanced mix of melody and rhythm, and the 12-note layout gives you a broad range for richer compositions. The right choice depends on how you want to play, not on quality.

You only need a few notes to start playing and create your first melodies. Get comfortable with those, then gradually add the others to bring more variety to your music. You don't need to master everything from the start to enjoy your instrument.

440 Hz is the standard tuning reference. It's usually the most practical choice for playing with other musicians or backing tracks tuned to that reference. With the same scale, 432 Hz sounds slightly lower in pitch.

A handpan that is well made and played with care can hold its tuning for several years. To help preserve its tuning, play with a light touch, protect it from impacts, and avoid high heat.

We recommend playing with your fingers. Mallets can damage the tuned areas and put the instrument out of tune, especially if you strike too hard.

Yes, you can discover the handpan without having played an instrument or knowing how to read music. Start with a few notes, listen to how they work together, and try your first melodies. Short, regular sessions will help you get comfortable and progress at your own pace.

The sound really matches the audio on the site

I was mostly worried that the audio sample on the site might sound better than the actual instrument. Once it arrived, I got the same clear, warm sound.

Ethan M.Verified BuyerPortland, OR

No regrets

I had been thinking about ordering a handpan online for a while but I have no regrets. The sound is really great, it looks beautiful and it's very enjoyable to play.

Ashley R.Verified BuyerAustin, TX

Glad I finally went for it

I had been looking at handpans for almost a year without making up my mind because there are so many cheap ones online. This one feels really solid and the sound is beautiful.

Megan T.Verified BuyerBoise, ID

Easier to play than I expected

I thought I would have to hit it pretty hard to get a nice sound. Not at all. A light touch is enough and the notes ring out really well.

Ryan C.Verified BuyerSalt Lake City, UT

Perfect for a first handpan

I had never played an instrument before and by the first evening I was already making little melodies. It's very intuitive and honestly much easier than I expected.

Ashley B.Verified BuyerSeattle, WA

Exactly what I was hoping for

The sound is warm, clear and really calming. I've been playing it almost every night since it arrived.

Brandon H.Verified BuyerPhoenix, AZ

No regrets

I wasn't sure I could justify spending this much on an instrument I had never tried before. Three weeks later I'm still playing it every day. No regrets.

Lauren P.Verified BuyerBurlington, VT

Slightly different shade, still looks great

The color is a little different from what I saw in the photos, but it's still very close. In person the handpan looks really beautiful, the finish is clean and it feels very well made.

Daniel S.Verified BuyerBrooklyn, NY

Still perfectly in tune

Arrived in perfect condition, well protected in the case. I play with other musicians every week and it's still just as in tune.

Nathan K.Verified BuyerCheyenne, WY

The sound I chose

I listened to the audio sample a lot before ordering because the sound was really what convinced me. Once it arrived, I got exactly what I had heard on the site.

Emily K.Verified BuyerSan Diego, CA

Really good quality

Very nice finish, well packed and the sound is super clean. Really happy with the purchase.

Noah G.Verified BuyerManchester, NH

The 10-note was the right choice

I went back and forth between the 9 and 10 note for a while. I ended up choosing the 10 and I'm glad I did. There's plenty to play with without it feeling complicated.

Jason D.Verified BuyerRichmond, VA

Much more intuitive than I expected

I tried learning guitar twice and never stuck with it, so I wasn't sure this would be any different. It's the first instrument I actually want to pick up every day.

Nicole A.Verified BuyerAlbuquerque, NM

Great straight out of the case

I took it out of the case and started playing right away. No setup, no weird metallic buzzing, just a really nice clear sound.

Matthew F.Verified BuyerWichita, KS

Very responsive

This was my main concern before ordering. You really only need a light touch for the notes to sound good. It doesn't feel difficult to play at all.

Chloe N.Verified BuyerEugene, OR

Even better in person

There's a slight difference in color compared with the photos, but nothing that bothered me. In person it looks really beautiful and the finish is very well done.

Andrew J.Verified BuyerSacramento, CA

Good experience from start to finish

I emailed a question before ordering and got a clear answer pretty quickly. Shipping went smoothly and the handpan arrived exactly as expected.

Kevin L.Verified BuyerNew York, NY

Such an intuitive instrument

I originally bought it for myself, but my daughter started playing it too. She learned really fast and now she plays it really well. It's such an intuitive instrument.

Danielle P.Verified BuyerArlington, VA

Worth it

Really nice instrument. Great sound, nice finish and everything arrived in perfect condition.

Chris V.Verified BuyerScottsdale, AZ

The sound matches well

I was a little worried about how it would turn out ordering online, especially the sound... Honestly I'm really happy, it sounds like the videos that made me want to buy one in the first place.

Peter M.Verified BuyerBoulder, CO

Glad I chose 440 Hz

At first I didn't really understand the difference between 432 and 440 Hz. I chose 440 because I wanted to be able to play along with things online and so far I've found plenty of material that works.

Adam C.Verified BuyerSpokane, WA

Still playing it months later

I really thought this might be one of those things you use for a week and then forget in a corner. I've had it since May and it's still sitting next to my couch because I play it all the time.

Rachel H.Verified BuyerBend, OR

Really clean notes

Every note sounds clear and they work really well together. Even when I'm just improvising a bit randomly, it still sounds good.

Michael B.Verified BuyerBuffalo, NY

Arrived before the birthday

I bought it as a birthday gift and I was pretty worried about the timing. Tracking was clear and it arrived a few days early.

Amanda R.Verified BuyerProvo, UT

Much better than the cheap ones

A friend has a really cheap handpan and the difference is huge. This one takes much less effort to play and the notes ring out for much longer.

Joshua T.Verified BuyerFresno, CA

Really relaxing to play

I usually play for 15 or 20 minutes after work and somehow end up staying there much longer. It's really nice to have at home.

Hannah G.Verified BuyerMontpelier, VT

No music background needed

I can't read music and I've never taken lessons. Honestly, that hasn't been an issue at all with this instrument. You just sit down and start trying things.

Brian K.Verified BuyerBoise, ID

Really happy with my purchase

Knowing I had 30 days to send it back is what made me finally go for it. In the end I kept it and I'm really happy with it, it sounds great.

Erin S.Verified BuyerDenver, CO

Sounds great with a light touch

I was surprised by how little force it takes. Once you stop trying to hit the notes and just touch them more lightly, the sound really opens up.

Eric S.Verified BuyerPhoenix, AZ

Really beautiful instrument

Great sound and very enjoyable to play. I've been really happy with it so far.

Olivia D.Verified BuyerPortsmouth, NH

The 12 notes give you a lot to work with

I wanted something I wouldn't feel limited by after a few months. The 12 note has a really nice range and I'm still finding new combinations all the time.

Nathan P.Verified BuyerSeattle, WA

Glad I didn't go with the cheapest one

I almost ordered a $200 one somewhere else. After reading enough bad experiences, I decided I'd rather spend more once and get something I'd actually want to keep. Glad I did.

Melissa J.Verified BuyerSanta Fe, NM

Clean sound across the whole instrument

No dead notes or weird rattling. Everything responds evenly and the sustain is really nice.

Zachary E.Verified BuyerKansas City, KS

Very straightforward purchase

The site had enough information for me to actually understand what I was choosing. I went with the 9-note D Kurd and it was exactly what I was looking for.

Rebecca C.Verified BuyerPortland, OR

The finish looks really good

I was a little worried the photos might make the product look better than it really was. The shade I received is slightly different, but the instrument honestly looks great and feels really high quality in person.

Austin M.Verified BuyerSan Jose, CA

Easy to learn with videos

I chose D Kurd mainly because there was so much content available online. Almost every beginner video I've wanted to follow so far works with mine.

Kayla F.Verified BuyerTucson, AZ

Ready to play when it arrived

Everything was packed well and the handpan sounded right as soon as I took it out. So far I've only needed to wipe it down after playing.

Justin N.Verified BuyerRichmond, VA

I use it way more than I expected

I bought it a little on impulse and thought I might regret spending that much. Turns out it's probably the thing I use most in my living room now.

Samantha L.Verified BuyerBrooklyn, NY

The color varies a little but it looks great

Mine is a little darker than in some of the photos on the site. It surprised me when I opened it, but after a few minutes I actually thought it looked even better that way. Really nice finish.

Dylan R.Verified BuyerLaramie, WY

Great purchase

Fast delivery, good packaging, beautiful instrument and a really nice sound. I'd buy it again without hesitation.

Madison T.Verified BuyerSalt Lake City, UT
