Aelo Handpan F Integral | stainless steel

The Aelo Handpan is characterized by a warm and long-lasting sound.
Due to the perfectly balanced aftertaste and the balanced vibration development, the Aelo handpan is the perfect combination of percussion and melody instrument. Even the lightest of touches produce fine and distinctive sounds. This ensures an expressive and detailed sound performance.

The AeloPans are ideal for both beginners and professional musicians. Due to their above-average sound volume, they are also particularly well suited for playing in large rooms or outdoors in nature and public spaces.

Fascinating sound patterns can be created with the particularly intuitive and easy-to-play Aelo Handpan. The soundscape ranges from simple to complex. Inexhaustible possibilities are offered to the player; from more complicated rhythms, virtuosic melodies to touching chords and two-part melodies; the AeloPan can be combined in many ways.

The uniquely soft, ethereal and mysterious sounds of the instrument quickly draw the listener's attention. The soothing sound takes you on an inner journey. The fascinating timbre of the Aelo Handpan is ideal for concerts, studio recordings, street music, as well as for musical accompaniment for spiritual activities such as yoga, sound therapy or meditation.

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 Major:

Crystal sounds in the highest tones illuminate a calm tonality, shining like a full moon night.

Major is the English term for major. In the system of church scales, this is also referred to as ionic. This fully ionic mode gives you a lot of possibilities. For example, you can play different triads and other chords. This tuning is also very suitable for playing melodically. The major scale is one of the most important pillars of western music.

Some handpan tunings are derived from this scale, e.g.: Aegean, Raga Bhupali, Silver Spring, Arkadian

There is a leap of fifths from the thing to the first note (as in Celtic Minor / Kurd etc.). From here the arrangement of the tones follows the major scale.

In the meantime, you can also place the tonal center on the first note by clearly accompanying your phrases with the first note. It makes sense to omit the THING for a while. As a result, the sound impression will move away from the Ionic mode towards the Myxolidian. You can do the same with the second note, which will switch you to the Aeolian mode.

Some manufacturers offer this tuning without the fourth note of the scale (example C Major - without F), so the sound is a bit more open and with another handpan, which has the note F# (not F), for example, you switch to Lydian mode , such as with Sabye.
