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 D Aegean
D Aegean 10-note handpan: features and musical scale
The D Aegean 10 shares the artisan build of the whole Enixpan collection: an Ember Steel (nitrided steel) shell measuring 55.9 cm across and weighing 4.5 kg, hammered and then hand-tuned to 440 Hz or 432 Hz. Nitrided steel brings a warm timbre, long sustain and solid rust resistance.
Its Aegean musical scale is built around a low central D (the “ding”): D3 / F#3 – A3 – C#4 – D4 – F#4 – G#4 – A4 – C#5 – D5. The major third (F#) and raised fourth (G#) give it that suspended Lydian colour, halfway between the brightness of a major mode and the exotic feel of Mediterranean music.
The result is an instrument that “sings” immediately: a deep ding, shimmering highs and a sound signature you recognise instantly. If the D Kurd is the versatile choice, the D Aegean is the characterful one — a handpan whose sunny colour is unlike any other scale in the collection.
Who is the D Aegean for?
The D Aegean is for players who want a handpan with a strong personality without giving up ease of play: like all our scales, it is designed so that every combination of notes sounds right, even with no musical training at all.
Priced at €1,690 with free shipping, the D Aegean stays within the range of a first artisan-quality handpan purchase — protective bag, padded case and learning-platform access included.
Still torn between the Kurd and the Aegean? Listen to both scales side by side on our online tester Nixis: a few minutes is usually enough to know which one speaks to you. Whichever you choose, you start with the same included resources — 19 structured lessons, 12 printable melody flash cards and an interactive app with metronome and guided mode. The Aegean is especially well suited to the free-improvisation exercises in the programme: its Lydian colour rewards every session, even the very first ones. And if you change your mind after delivery, the 14-day money-back guarantee gives you time to try the instrument at home, in real conditions.
