The C Low Pygmy Handpan is an invitation to grounding and connection to the Earth. Its deep, warm and hypnotic sound evokes ancestral music, drawing from ancient tribal traditions.
C3, the deepest fundamental note in our beginner collection. A frequency that doesn't rise towards the sky — it plunges into the earth. Nixis calls it the return to the beginning.
Made from nitrided Ember Steel, this instrument is the reference choice for sound therapists who want to reconnect with what the modern world has buried.

The C Low Pygmy's pentatonic structure removes all harmonic tension — every note flows naturally into the next. Its low fundamental (C3) creates vibrations you feel as much as hear, making it uniquely powerful for sound therapy, deep meditation and grounding practices.
Where does this instrument come from?
Enixpan does not build its handpans: they come from the Hluru workshop, one of the largest handpan workshops in the world, in Level A quality — nitrided steel, every note tuned by hand. Enixan has played and validated every model in the catalogue before offering it.
What we add: the choice of scales, 440 or 432 Hz tuning, free DDP shipping (no customs duties or VAT on delivery), 14 days to change your mind with returns handled in France, customer service in English and French, and access to our learning platform.

Questions about the C Low Pygmy
C Low Pygmy 9-note handpan: features and musical scale
The C Low Pygmy 9 is the deepest instrument in our beginner collection: its low C ding (C3) sits well below the D models, producing deep vibrations you can physically feel. The Ember Steel shell (nitrided steel, 55.9 cm across, 4.5 kg) amplifies that character with a long, organic sustain.
Its minor pentatonic musical scale reads: C3 / F3 – G3 – Ab3 – C4 – Eb4 – F4 – G4 – Ab4. Inspired by the vocal traditions of the Pygmy peoples of Central Africa, the Pygmy scale keeps only five degrees per octave: every combination of notes sounds full and harmonious, with no dissonance possible.
Like all our handpans, every C Low Pygmy is hammered and hand-tuned to 440 Hz or 432 Hz, checked note by note before shipping,, protective bag and padded carry case.
Who is the C Low Pygmy for?
The Pygmy is the handpan of inwardness: its enveloping low end makes it the instrument of choice for deep-relaxation practices and lovers of tribal textures.
At €1,990 with free shipping, the C Low Pygmy rounds out the beginner range with the low register: a distinctive, deliberate choice if you want to buy a handpan whose depth is felt as much as heard.
In a session, the C Low Pygmy blends naturally with singing bowls, gongs and chimes: its low register fills a space few instruments cover, without ever masking the other timbres. It is also a wonderful instrument for daily personal practice — resting on your lap or on a stand, it invites slow, rhythmic, hypnotic playing. You start with the same included resources as the whole collection: 19 structured lessons, melody flash cards and an interactive app with metronome and meditation mode. And if the low register turns out not to be for you after all, the 14-day money-back guarantee lets you return the instrument risk-free.
