Schlagwerk HP8EQ 8-Note Handpan E-Moll Equinox Tuning With Gig Bag and Protective Cover

The Schlagwerk HP8EQ 8-note handpan produces a mellow, melodic tone thanks to its Equinox E-Minor tuning (E, G, B, C, D, E, F#, G) and vibra-steel alloy construction. Designed by Harmonic Art and Schlagwerk, this handpan is tuned to resonate with overtones that envelope you in sound. The HP8EQ's durable yet lightweight steel shell has been precision-crafted and hardened through a special heat treatment to maintain consistent tuning, even with heavy use. An anti-corrosion coating protects the surface of the handpan and helps it achieve a long lifespan.

Equinox E-Minor Tuning Elicits an Ethereal Tone

The HP8EQ handpan has Equinox E-Minor tuning that was specially developed to produce a mellow, resonant tone with lush overtones. Eight notes in the E-Minor scale allow musicians to create melodic sequences and explore harmonic relationships. The tuning's earthy, grounded character is evocative and emotive. Close your eyes while playing and you'll feel transported to a place of peace and reflection.

Vibra-Steel Alloy Shell Optimizes Sustain and Projection

The shell of the handpan is constructed from a proprietary vibra-steel alloy that provides an ideal balance of hardness and elasticity. The alloy's responsiveness allows the handpan to resonate fully and project sound with clarity. A consistent thickness throughout the shell also contributes to the sustain, rich tone and reliable tuning. You'll find the handpan an extremely playable and dynamic instrument.

Ergonomic Shape Makes Playing and Transporting a Breeze

Shaped to fit comfortably in your lap or hands, the HP8EQ handpan invites you to play for extended periods. Weighing just 10 pounds, the handpan is also highly portable. A protective gig bag and cover, included with your purchase, allow you to take the handpan with you on the go while keeping it safe from scratches and weather.

From its Equinox E-Minor tuned notes to its corrosion-resistant vibra steel shell, the HP8EQ handpan is built from high-quality components to provide a lifetime of music making.
