How the E-Celtic Minor sounds
- E
- F#
- G
- A
- B
- D
The Celtic Minor (or Amara) scale is structured as a hexatonic (6-note) scale rather than a full diatonic scale. It uses the degrees of the natural minor mode, but deliberately omits the sixth degree. This strategic omission distinguishes it from full minor scales such as the Kurd.

Rent it for 15 or 30 days from €295 and play it at home. If you decide to purchase at the end of the rental period, the price of up to two rental periods is fully deducted from the purchase price.
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
Two to four working days within Germany, three to six to the other countries of the EU. The handpan is shipped free of charge and insured via DHL.
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.
Many of our handpans can be rented for 15 or 30 days. When this one is among them, you find the rental offer on this page; all of them are in our handpan rental. If you keep the instrument, the price of up to two rental periods is fully deducted from the purchase price.
Reviews of our shop in Mainz
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.

Manuel Drews, A great shop. Of course you can also order handpans online. But then you miss out on Felix's relaxed advice, on drinking tea and trying out different instruments for as long as you like, and on the chance to ask lots of questions.
Thank you, Felix.
And it's great that you also rent out your handpans and credit the rental fee towards a purchase.Ein toller Laden. Na klar kannst du Handpans auch online bestellen. Dabei verpasst du die entspannte Beratung von Felix und das beliebig lange Tee trinken und ausprobieren verschiedener Instrumente und die Möglichkeit viele Fragen zu stellen.
Danke Felix.
Und toll das ihr eure handpans auch vermietet und die Miete auf einen Kauf anrechnet.Andreas Klaus, Last week I drove from Ingolstadt to Mainz to buy a handpan from Soul Sculpture. I had used one of their instruments for practice at a workshop. The advice in the shop was very good. I was able to take my time and play all the instruments that interested me. I received excellent advice, but was in no way pressured. The shop has 2 rooms where it is quiet and you can really feel the… sounds. I then bought a Sound-Sculpture D-Kurd 10. It was already delivered today. The handpan bag, packaging and shipping are even included in the price. I can only recommend that anyone interested make the trip to Mainz. Maybe call ahead and arrange a slot for a consultation, but it's not a must. Many thanks to you all....Ich bin in der letzten Woche von Ingolstadt nach Mainz gefahren, um mir bei Soul Sculpture eine Handpan zu kaufen. Ich hatte bei einem Workshop ein Instrument von ihnen zum Üben gehabt. Die Beratung im Geschäft war sehr gut. Ich habe in aller Ruhe alle Instrumente anspielen können, die mich interessiert haben. Ich wurde super beraten, aber in keiner Weise beeinflusst. Das Geschäft hat… 2 Räume, in denen Ruhe herrscht und man den Klängen nachspüren kann. Ich habe dann eine Sound Sculpture D-Kurd 10 gekauft. Heute wurde sie schon geliefert. Handpantasche, Verpackung und Versendung ist sogar im Preis enthalten. Ich kann jedem Interessierten nur empfehlen, nach Mainz zu fahren. Vielleicht vorher anrufen und einen Slot zur Beratung absprechen, ist aber kein Muss. Vielen Dank an Euch....
iris white, I have rarely experienced such friendly and competent customer service as I did with Sound Sculpture. Since I could not visit the store in person, everything was handled personally over the phone with incredible patience, kindness, and professionalism. I bought a handpan, returned it, and the entire process was completed within a single day. The refund arrived immediately, and the new… w handpan was shipped just as quickly. Everything felt effortless, trustworthy, and genuinely customer-focused.
If every company worked like this, the world would function better.
I honestly only wonder how the team manages to answer emails even on holidays and weekends — I just hope they also take good care of themselves, because this level of dedication is extraordinary.
Five stars are not enough. I found this shop through the recommendation of another very happy customer, and now I fully understand why. Highly recommended.Jennifer Klein, Ordered my first handpan from Sound-Sculpture. A nice, family-like team, a very clearly laid-out online shop. I decided on a beginner model. Very good in terms of price- performance ratio. Shipping was via DHL. The package arrived after two days. Superbly packed, very sturdy box, with the inner corners reinforced as well. The FREE bag also contains two sturdy plastic shells, so the… handpan is packed very securely. I went for a D-Kurd 8 + 1.
For me as a beginner, completely sufficient.
The handpan looks great, a very beautiful copper tone. The sound
is great, and for the money a very beautiful "sustain" (resonant sound).
I'm really looking forward to learning it. From my side, highly
recommended.Habe mir bei Sound-Sculpture meine erste Handpan bestellt. Ein nettes familiäres Team, ein sehr übersichtlicher Online-Shop. Ich habe mich für ein Einsteigermodell entschieden. Vom Preis- Leistungsverhältnis her sehr gut. Der Versand erfolgte per DHL. Das Paket war nach zwei Tagen da. Super verpackt, sehr stabiler Karton, die innenecken auch noch verstärkt. Die KOSTENLOSE Tasche… enthält auch noch zwei stabile Kunststoffschalen, so das
die Handpan sehr sicher verpackt ist. Ich habe eine D-Kurd 8 + 1
genommen. für mich als Einsteiger vollkommen ausreichend.
Die Handpan sieht klasse aus, sehr schöner Kupferton. Der Klang
ist toll, für das Geld ein sehr schöner "Sustain" (Resonanzklang).
Ich freue mich sehr auf das Erlernen. Von meiner Seite aus sehr
empfehlenswert.Holger Schildknecht,
