The SEW Opera handpans represent a particularly warm sound experience. The gentle tones, spiced with a full-bodied tone, float through the room like waves and touch every cell. The long-lasting but well-balanced sustain creates a spherical soundscape for both slower and faster playing styles. The full, room-filling sound creates a calming, warm atmosphere.
The SEW Opera Handpans are ideal for studio recordings due to their very clear and subtle sound. They are also particularly popular for accompanying meditation, yoga and sound journeys, and rightly so. The sound opens up the space of inner experience, mindfulness and sensual sensing. A sound that brings us into contact with our deepest self and connects us with a collective spirit that unites us.
High-quality, specially hardened stainless steel is used for production. The visual design and the sound aesthetics of these instruments are well coordinated and form a sophisticated unit.
The finely crafted sound fields are easy to play - every touch produces a beautiful sound. This makes these handpans easy to play even for beginners.

Mood description Sabye / Ashakiran:
ASHAKIRAN - Let yourself be illuminated by the ray of hope (translated from ancient Indian). Vibrating holistically, this tuning belongs to the major variations. This scale is characterized by the raised tone on the fourth level of the scale. This makes the mode Lydian. Overall, this scale sounds a little happier than the classic major tuning (Ionian). The Lydian mode is used a lot in traditional music styles, such as Forrò music in northeastern Brazil. This tuning is highly recommended for music therapy and free intuitive playing. It is also suitable for surrounding yourself with healing sounds.
“Ashakiran” is the nickname for Sabye , who expands the scale even further with a higher pitch.
The sequence of notes starts from the DING to the first note with a fourth leap, which acts like an upbeat. From there it goes up gradually until a small third leap leads up from the seventh note, which makes the note an octave of the DING. This makes the sound a little more open, so that it is not grounded in the upper octave range, but vibrates freely. In this tuning, a major triad is created on the first, second and fourth notes, and a minor triad on the first, second and third notes. This tuning sends you light, encouragement and good energy!
