Meinl HD3 Sonic Energy Harmonic Art

Descrizione

Although it may look like the handpan has been mesmerising audiences for centuries, it is a relatively new instrument. Handpans are now popular for use in both standard music composition and as part of sound therapy. Due to its unique, meditative sound and compact size, you also come across them more and more in yoga schools and strapped to the backs of travellers. The meditative, hypnotic tone that a handpan can produce is down to the way this instrument is tuned. Each pan is tuned to a certain key, making it impossible to make any mistakes and even if you've never touched a musical instrument before, you can make beautiful music with nothing but one of these handsets and your own two hands.

Meinl HD3 Sonic Energy Harmonic Art Handpan

The HD3 handpan is part of the Sonic Energy series from Meinl. This 21.5-inch diameter handpan is made entirely by hand in Colombia and is one of six handsets within the Sonic Energy range. Each is crafted to deliver its own particular mood and the HD3 is tuned to D#, G, A#, C, D, D#, F and G. A common problem with handpans is that they can lose their tuning over time. This can happen if, for example, it gets dented or is simply played and played until a note-basin becomes misshapen. Since they need to be returned to the manufacturer to get re-tuned, you can sometimes be without your instrument for a while. The Meinl Sonic Energy hand pans are made from a special type of steel to prevent this and ensure that the tuning remains stable. Meinl also safeguards your handpan even further by including a sturdy, padded cover. Be sure to watch the added video to hear just what the HD3 can do!
