CHARACTERISTICS OF THE HANDPAN TUNING IN D MINOR
D minor is said to have a meditative, humble, pleasant, and contented mood. Therefore, this tuning is the most popular among handpans. The mood you will feel while playing will also quickly draw you under the Handpan's spell.
In the Sonodrum handpan in D minor, the bass note (also called the ding) is placed in the center and the rest of the notes are arranged around the ding.
SOUND EXAMPLES
IMPORTANT ! - NOTES BEFORE BUYING A HANDPAN
Working on a handpan requires working with heavy equipment, including - especially in the final stage of tuning - sometimes powerful hammer blows. Therefore scratches, nitrite marks, or uneven colors are a natural characteristic of a handpan and not a sign of inferior quality.
We ask you to consider this before buying!

This is my son I gave to his family. He, my daughter in law & 14 yr old granddaughter all have anxiety issues. They had no idea what it was until they started to play. Granddaughter plays cello, & key board she found it relaxing.
I received it today and tested a bit. Wonderful sound. Recommended.
It is allowed to confess that I was skeptical at first. But the delivery was faster than expected.👍🙂
Hello!
I'm totally satisfied and always play a small improvised piece in between to get down or to celebrate something.
Just wonderful!

The Sonodrum was a Christmas present for my wife. She was very happy and also played immediately.
I find the songbook could be quiet meditation sounds.
I had no comparison to other sonodrums and I only heard of sounds from others later, I personally think the slightly deeper sounds a bit more beautiful, but that's just my personal taste.
Otherwise, it is very well processed, the accessories like the bag really great. I hope my wife has long joy.
Your customer service is very nice and competent, thanks for it.
Best regards Andreas S.
The small tongue drum has a very nice color. I also like the sound of the drum very well. All in all a compact surprise with associated pocket and Schlegel.
Sonodrum is a gift for our grandchild Elina 10.
Elina is born with a CP disability.
She loves music over everything.
Sonodrum gives the opportunity to produce beautiful tones despite coordination difficulties.
Everything worked well. It was a Geuburn's gift.
Thanks very much
Great sound, easy to play for the price. Oh, suitable for playing Z.B as accompaniment to Mantras. But also melodies to play well possible. An all-rounder perfect 👌
The Kalimba I have given my wife for Christmas she often prevails in the kindergarten in which she works it is a beautiful musician and the children like to hear it
Tongue drum was delivered quickly, despite normal shipping. Well packed, no damage. Bag and accessories flawless. Drum is really an eye-catcher, beautiful design, wonderful sound. We are completely satisfied and excited about the drum. Would already be more respected to the drum.
