Notes Available: D2 to E6.

At Mudra Handpan, we work exclusively with 53 cm diameter shells, which naturally introduce certain acoustic characteristics, also known as Impedance. While this diameter provides a rich, resonant tone, it does come with some note restrictions and special considerations:

Notes with Restrictions: 

• Eb3 as the central Ding and Bb4 (commonly referred to as D#3 and A#4) are not available.

• F#5 can only be added as a mutant note, positioned centrally and far from the rim.

• Eb3 can be included as a side note, bottom note, or bottom Ding, but it may cause minor interference with its fifth (Bb4).

• Bb3 might slightly interfere with its octave (Bb4).

• D2 and Eb2 Dings are highly challenging and physically demanding to craft. Although we’d love to create more of these, they’re not always available for order due to health considerations. If you’re set on one of these models, please reach out to discuss availability.

We embrace customization! Feel free to share your desired scale, and we’ll explore the possibilities together.

Why No Fixed Scale List?
With countless scale options, creating a demo for each one would take years. Instead, you’ll find a selection of examples below to help you explore the unique soundscapes our instruments can offer.
