Eighteen notes. Nixis says this is where music becomes a complete language. The D Aegean 18 covers all dimensions of the F# Lydian mode — from the abyssal bass B2 to the airy treble F#5. Three octaves in a single voice.
Nixis calls it "the point of no return": once you have played the Aegean 18, no more limited instrument will ever satisfy you. This is not a warning — it's a promise.

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 18
D Aegean 18-note handpan: features and musical scale
The D Aegean 18 spreads the Aegean scale across two sides: 11 top notes — D3 / F#3 – A3 – C#4 – D4 – F#4 – G#4 – A4 – C#5 – D5 – F#5 — and 7 underside notes — B2 – E3 – G#3 – B3 – E4 – B4 – E5. The low B (B2) is one of the deepest notes in our entire collection.
This architecture turns the Aegean's suspended Lydian colour into a true orchestral universe: hypnotic low ostinatos on the underside, shimmering melodies in the highs, and that signature Mediterranean luminosity running through the whole range — almost three octaves.
Each instrument is shaped from Ember Steel (nitrided steel, 53 cm across, 26 cm high, 4.5 kg), hammered and then hand-tuned to 440 Hz or 432 Hz. All 18 notes are checked individually before shipping, and the instrument travels in its premium padded carry case with a protective bag.
Who is the D Aegean 18 for?
The Aegean 18 is a musician's instrument: it is for those who already have a vocabulary — on the handpan or another instrument — and who want a palette to match their ideas.
At €2,690 with free shipping, the D Aegean 18 is the expert format of our sunny range: to buy a professional handpan with a Lydian colour is to choose an instrument no other mode can imitate.
If you are discovering the Aegean universe, start by listening to the 10-note format and then this one on our online tester Nixis: the extension does not change the colour, it changes the scope. The 7 underside notes play like accompanying bass notes at first before becoming, with practice, a second voice in their own right. The instrument ships with full access to the learning platform — useful for structuring your work across such a wide range — and remains covered by the 14-day money-back guarantee, return shipping at your expense.
