Sela Harmony D Amara 11+1 Håndpanne

Sela Harmony Handpan D Amara 11+1 — Stainless Steel Handpan for Meditative Playing

The Sela Harmony Handpan D Amara 11+1 is a handcrafted stainless steel percussion instrument tuned to one of the most beloved scales in the handpan world. Eleven top notes, including the central ding, and one bottom note (Bb3) sit on a fixed scale, giving players a wide melodic range without the risk of striking a dissonant note. Built from two stainless steel bowls joined and hand-hammered into shape, this model produces the soft, ethereal and long-sustaining sound that defines the Sela Harmony series.

What Sets the Harmony Stainless Steel Series Apart

Unlike nitrided steel handpans, stainless steel construction delivers a noticeably longer sustain, making this model especially well suited to slow, relaxing and meditative playing. The fast, sensitive response means even light finger taps produce clear tone, which lowers the barrier for first-time players. A lasered scale overview on the underside of the bowl helps newcomers find every tone field at a glance.
