Sela SE 400 Nomo Handpan D Kurd 9

Discover Fascinating Soundscapes!

The Sela SE 400 handpan delivers a warm, ethereal sound and robust stainless-steel construction. It’s ideal for meditation, sound therapy, or creative music projects and provides an intuitive entry point into the world of melodic percussion instruments.

Handpans — Intuitive Music-Making Without Limits

The handpan is an extremely beginner-friendly instrument where percussion and melody come together. Playing the handpan produces calming, ethereal, and long-lasting soundscapes that captivate both player and listeners. No prior experience or music-theory knowledge is required, because the tone fields on a handpan are laid out on a fixed scale. On most models it’s not possible to strike dissonant, or "wrong"-sounding notes.

That means you can follow your intuition while playing and, after very little time, lose yourself in mysterious, dreamy melodies. With some practice, more complex rhythms, compelling chords, and two-part melodies become possible.

The Nomo Series — Quality and Tonal Balance

The Sela Nomo handpan offers an especially affordable entry into the world of handpans and is aimed at anyone wanting to gain first experiences with this instrument. Tone and playability meet Sela's well-known standards. To achieve the attractive price, the Nomo handpan is produced with increased machine-assisted manufacturing. The stainless-steel alloy used is durable, low-maintenance, and provides a balanced sustain — ideal for relaxed, intuitive playing. Thanks to its sensitive response, the Nomo handpan is easy to play and forgives untrained strikes. The matte-gold finish gives the instrument a subtle, premium look.

The SE 400 Model — Expressive and Versatile

The D Kurd tuning (fundamental frequency 440 Hz) is one of our best-selling scales. The central note in the middle of the handpan is D3, surrounded in a circle by A3, Bb3, C4, D4, E4, F4, G4, and A4. Because of its bright-sounding D minor scale, the D Kurd allows for a wide array of melodies, from calm-meditative and melancholic to powerful and joyful. This model is therefore just as suitable as a solo instrument as it is for ensemble playing with other handpans or instruments like tongue drums, guitar, or percussion.

Includes Bag — Secure and Mobile

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