How the D-Kurd Minor sounds
- D
- E
- F
- G
- A
- Bb
- C
The D Kurd scale is built on the natural minor mode, also known as the Aeolian mode, starting from the root note D. It uses all seven degrees of that scale, with the octave repeated at the top. The enduring popularity of the D Kurd scale stems from its combination of emotional breadth, structural harmony and extreme ease of use.
Who built it
Every instrument we sell comes from a maker we have visited, tested and vetted. No white labels, no anonymous stock. You always know whose hands shaped the steel you are buying.

Care and retuning
Wipe the steel with a clean microfibre cloth after playing and store your handpan in a dry place.
Every handpan drifts out of tune over time. Retuning is routine care, not damage, and we do it in our own workshop in Mainz: for free in the first year if your handpan goes out of tune from regular playing, and after that typically for between 150 € and 250 €, VAT included.
Frequently asked questions
A handpan with 9 or 10 notes and a simple scale such as D-Kurd Minor is the easiest to start with, and no knowledge of music theory is needed. The instruments we recommend for a start carry the tag “Beginner friendly” at the top of their page, and you find them all among our handpans for beginners.
440 Hz is the standard concert pitch, so a 440 Hz handpan plays in tune with guitars, pianos and other musicians. 432 Hz is slightly lower, and some players prefer it for playing alone and for meditation. If you plan to play with others, choose 440 Hz: instruments tuned to 432 Hz and 440 Hz do not sound good together, even when their scales match. More in our article 432 Hz vs 440 Hz.
Yes. You can play it in our shop in Mainz: let us know beforehand which models you are interested in, and we make sure they are there when you come. Selected models can also be tried at one of our try-out partners.
Our instruments come with a one-year tuning guarantee: if your handpan goes out of tune from regular playing within the first year, we retune it for free in our own workshop in Mainz. How that works is described on the page about our retuning service.
There is no fixed schedule. It depends on how hard and how often you play, on how the instrument is stored and transported, and on the steel it is made from. Many players go for years without needing anything. After the first year a retuning typically costs between 150 € and 250 €, VAT included.
Reviews of our shop in Mainz
I'm absolutely thrilled with my new stainless steel handpan from Sound-Sculpture. Admittedly, on the first day it sounded more like a ‘tipped-over tin bucket’ when I played it, but that was definitely down to my technique. Thanks to the brilliant email support and the included video course (worth its weight in gold for beginners!), the thing now really sings beautifully. You can just… t tell that there are professionals at work here who truly care about the instrument. If you're looking for quality and not just a decorative bowl, this is exactly the right place. Thanks to the team for a great start to my new hobby!Ich bin absolut begeistert von meiner neuen Edelstahl-Handpan von Sound-Sculpture. Am ersten Tag klang es bei mir zwar eher noch nach ‚umgekipptem Blecheimer‘, aber das lag definitiv an meiner Technik. Dank des genialen E-Mail-Supports und des mitgelieferten Videokurses (echtes Gold wert für Anfänger!) singt das Teil mittlerweile richtig schön. Man merkt einfach, dass hier Profis am… m Werk sind, denen das Instrument am Herzen liegt. Wer Qualität sucht und nicht nur eine dekorative Schüssel, ist hier genau richtig. Danke an das Team für den super Start in mein neues Hobby!
Fred, Great service! I had made a mistake in my shipping address. Katharina didn't give up and changed the details with DHL at 9:00 pm in the evening. The order still went out.
This service is absolutely exceptional! Thank you very much!Toller Service! Ich hatte einen Fehler in meiner Versandadresse. Katharina hat nicht locker gelassen und hat abends um 21:00 Uhr noch die Eingabe bei DHL geändert. Die Bestellung ging noch raus.
Dieser Service ist absolut aussergewöhnlich! Vielen Dank!Harald Schuhmacher, Last week I had the pleasure of a beginner's one-on-one session with Jutta Allmann. Jutta immediately made me feel valued and at ease, which made it very easy for me to get started with the first exercises. Her calm and professional manner, combined with her passion for music, is ideal for this kind of acoustic self-experiment when you want to try something new. I'll gladly come back,… I promise.Ich habe bei Jutta Allmann letzte Woche eine Einsteiger-Einzelsession geniessen dürfen. Jutta hat mir sofort ein wertschätzendes und offenes Gefühl gegeben, das es mir sehr leicht gemacht hat, in die ersten Übungen einzusteigen. Ihre ruhige und professionale Art in Kombination mit ihrer Leidenschaft für Musik sind ideal für solche akustischen Selbstversuche, wenn man etwas Neues… ausprobieren möchte. Ich komme gerne wieder, versprochen.
