Description

The X8 Gold Series F Low Pygmy handpan features a warm golden finish, a double-layer ding dome for more lasting tuning and a fastener on the "belt" with the X8 logo. It is built by masters of the trade, and crafted and tuned by hand. Play it acoustically, or add a pickup to amplify your sound—you can also remove the belt to increase the resonance. It is tuned with a center note and eight additional notes, allowing you to create rich, full songs either as a solo artist or as part of an ensemble. Comes with a heavy-duty passed backpack case.

The unique, ethereal and mysterious sound of the steel handpan is captivating, with the soothing tones taking the listener on a spiritual journey. It has been used lately in modern, EDM, sound therapy and as musical accompaniment for spiritual activities such as yoga or meditation. The Pygmy scale is a form of Dorian pentatonic scale, a mode halfway between a minor and a major scale. The presence of intervals can be interpreted as a fourth or a minor sixth, and the several repeated fifths deliver a deep and full scale that is brilliant and resonant, making it useful in several major and minor progressions.
