Sela SE 223 Unity Handpan B2 Amara 9 Stainless Steel

Sela 223 Unity Handpan B2 Amara 9 - Stainless Steel!

The handpan is an absolutely beginner-friendly instrument where percussion and melody come together. Playing the handpan creates soothing, ethereal, and long-lasting soundscapes that captivate both the player and the listeners. No prior experience or music theory knowledge is required, as all tone fields lie within a fixed scale.

With most models, it’s impossible to hit dissonant, or "wrong" sounding notes. This allows you to follow your intuition freely and quickly lose yourself in mysterious, dreamy melodies. With some practice, more complex rhythms, captivating chords, and two-part melodies are naturally possible.

Sela Unity Stainless Steel Handpans are entirely handmade, perfectly tuned, and made from a stainless steel alloy. Stainless steel handpans have a significantly longer sustain than nitrided steel models, making them especially suited for slow, relaxing, and meditative playing.

At the same time, they are very low-maintenance and ideal for beginners, as their quick, sensitive response requires less playing effort. Sela Unity Stainless Steel Handpans feature a matte-gold finish, giving them a noble, high-quality look.

From Calm-Meditative to Melancholic to Powerful & Cheerful

Sela Unity Handpans are identical in construction to the stainless steel models of the Harmony series but are tuned to the fundamental frequency of 432 Hz (concert pitch A). Since they do not harmonize with conventionally tuned instruments (440 Hz), they are mainly used as solo instruments and primarily for esoteric or sound therapy purposes.

The B2 Amara tuning is a variation of the most popular handpan scale overall. The central note in the middle of the handpan is B2, surrounded in a circular layout by the notes F#3, A3, B3, C#4, D4, E4, F#4, and A4. Thanks to its deep yet bright-sounding B minor scale, the B Amara allows for a wide range of melodies from calm-meditative through melancholic to powerful and cheerful. Especially practical: the underside of the handpan is laser-engraved with an overview of the scale and individual tone fields.

Every Sela handpan comes with a bag made of tear-resistant nylon fabric, which provides optimal protection during transport thanks to its good padding. It can be carried comfortably either by hand using the two handles or as a backpack with adjustable shoulder straps. A practical outer pocket offers enough space for small accessories like a metronome.
