Battiloro PERSEPHONE - 432 Hz "Healing Frequency" Handpan: B2 Minor 13 | Stainless Steel

These instruments are tuned at the 432 Hz frequency derived from Hindu and Buddhist traditions. Compared to the western world, 432 Hz tuning is the standard there instead of 440 Hz.
Because it is believed that it stimulates our chakras, the life energy centers, in a special way and thereby promotes spiritual awakening. Healing Frequency Handpans are instruments with a particularly long resonance that we recommend for meditative experiences and sound journeys. The Healing Frequency series also has its very own character. These instruments are characterized by their special metallic design and fine timbre. A separate soft case is included.
Handmade in Italy, the Healing Frequency impresses with its striking appearance. The tones sound extremely clean and with a delicacy that is also reflected in the haptic feeling when touching the surface. All in all, an all-round noble handpan.

mood description:

With this imperishable selection of tones, you can easily conjure up sounds that are reminiscent of times gone by with perfect fifths and fourths. This instrument might have found its place in spiritual ceremonies in Celtic times.
The jump from the DING to the first note in the interval of a perfect fifth (example DA) is characteristic of minor. This jump in a fifth immediately opens up the tonal space and gives the tones above it a context. The next tone is a semitone above, which is reminiscent of the Kurd tuning and brings some tension to the scale.
After that, as with the Celtic scale, it continues with almost always the same intervals. You could describe this mood as a mixture of Kurd and Celtic.
