Fermata 10 Note Stainless Steel Handpan

Meet the D Kurd Handpan — one of the most beloved scales in the handpan world, and a perfect starting point if you're new to these instruments. With 10 notes across the top shell, this handpan gives you room to explore melodic phrasing while still keeping things intuitive enough to play by feel.

This piece is internationally sourced and tuned to 440Hz, the standard reference pitch most musicians expect. It's crafted from stainless steel, prized for its durability and bright, clear sustain — built to hold up to regular play without the upkeep some other steel types demand.

Like every handpan in this collection, it's not one of Dave's own handcrafted builds — but it didn't just land on our site sight unseen, either. Dave personally played and approved this exact scale and steel combination before it made the cut, so you're getting a real, road-tested instrument, not a gamble.

Why D Kurd: it's warm, grounded, and forgiving — the kind of scale that sounds good even when you're just noodling. Great for meditation, sound healing, beginner practice, or just decompressing after a long day.
