The high-quality material, rustproof and corrosion-resistant stainless steel, gives the handpan its shine and elegant appearance. The material is robust and easy to care for. Due to the slightly higher material thickness compared to conventional stainless steel handpans, the AeloPans are more durable in tuning stability and less susceptible to impacts and falls.

Like every handpan, the AeloPans consist of two composite stainless steel shells that form the body of the sound. During the manufacturing process, the tone fields are painstakingly worked into the curved surface by hand and then precisely tuned. Since the process is manual, there are dents and bumps in the tone field - this is quite normal and is part of the optical character of a good handpan.

The Aelo Handpan is professional and perfectly tuned. It impresses with quality and sound at the highest level. The handpan has an optimal and well-balanced resonance vibration across all tones. Disturbing metallic sounds do not arise when playing. The timbre is warm and powerful. The reverberation behavior of the individual tones is reinforced by the solid stainless steel.

Mood Description Low Pygmy:

The name Pygmy is probably based on the pygmies. This scale is often used in Central African music. The Low Pygmy scale is a pentatonic variant of the Dorian minor scale. Such a combination creates a dreamy mood. The repetition of four tones over two octaves ensures a broad harmony in the tuning and creates a carpet of sound rich in overtones that fills the room.

Compared to Pygmy , the sound impression of Low Pygmy remains similar and the pitches remain the same. The difference is that the top note of Pygmy is now two octaves lower, reflecting the note of the DING, creating a rising fourth between the DING and the first note. With Low Pygmy , the first tone in the circle and not the DING represents the tonal center. Overall, the LOW version sounds a little more floating in comparison.

The Low Pygmy tuning is a classic in the handpan world for a reason, and it's becoming more and more fashionable lately. The pentatonic arrangement of the notes is easy and intuitive to play and creates a melancholic, dreamy atmosphere. The sound arrangement opens up a huge melodic horizon.
