Handpan

Like the all-seeing Giant from the ancient Greek myth, Argus’ surface is covered with eyes - and even more possibilities of sound combinations. Behind a total-gold look and lunar appearance, Argus unveils an unexpectedly delicate and sophisticated voice, with a subtle touch of Orient.

A round, solid attitude that instinctively conveys a sense of serenity: this is the immediate flair of Polyphemus, gifted with a bright Major scale. Behind its grounded personality, this Handpan comes with a twist: a tenth note, the sharpest, nested just under the Ding.

In the religious culture of the myth, Persephone divides herself between day and night, everchanging lady of the cycle of seasons. She is the one who inspires our first instrument with a true double identity: nine notes on the upper part, four on the lower back. A shadowy and melancholic scale that gives a round, poignant sound, as it happens when darkness surrenders to the light.

In Hawaian language it means "peace power". Just like at the end of a ritual combat, here gold and steel colors reach out for one another, exalting the extraordinary expressive ductility of the twelve-tone scale. Tuned in C sharp minor, Rhiver is a mild force of understanding, a mixing of opposites that knows no war.

Shedar is the brightest star in the constellation of Cassiopeia. Visible especially on starry autumn nights, its name derives from an Arabic word meaning bust: like that of the vain Cassiopeia, the Greek myth represented sitting down with a mirror in hand, intent on sprucing up her hair. In tune with the natural melancholy of the D minor scale, Shedar gives body to an extraordinary harmonic spectrum, both mystical and contemplative: eleven notes arranged on top, two on the bottom. A powerful prism of sound tracks, passing through the darkness like a beam of light.

Kami is the Japanese term for objects worthy of veneration in the Shinto tradition. Spirits and guardians of the places inhabited by the divine, the Kami are both the created and the creators of the force that generates them: they are not separate from nature, but belong to nature herself. Like our Handpan tuned in F sharp minor, a precious scale that melts the spaces and naturally fills the gaps between each sound, starting with the more solemn ones. The overall tone is one of great spiritual power, in which the instrument itself, like the Kami, gives visibility to the sacred roots of the universe.

Name of a person with a thousand spiritual resonances, Demyan comes from an ancient Greek root that means "he who tames". It spread to the Christian East with its Latin variant, thanks to the work of St Damian, the holy healer who worked without asking for anything in return. The same generous musical magnificence shines in the expressive possibilities of Demyan, which houses nine notes on the top of the instrument and five on the bottom. The scale in G sharp minor gives it an amazing melodic ductility, where every minimal change in sound is a gift and moment of grace.

A cosmic name from the Native American culture, the meaning is "star dancer" - an image that led to the most auspicious of expressions: "born under a lucky star". In the Cheyenne language, Namid is the silent music that makes the sky shine and tremble: like our Handpan tuned in E minor, a scale produced by long and complex craftsmanship that rests on the natural reverb of an extremely spacious and impressive Ding, capable of performing sophisticated percussive tricks. With the same precision as an arrow flying straight to the target.
