Questions about the D Aegean 18

The D Aegean 18 is designed for serious musicians, composers, sound healing professionals, and performers who want the most complete F# Lydian experience possible. Its 18 notes spanning three octaves provide the harmonic vocabulary for virtually any musical idea. It's equally at home in a concert hall, a recording studio, or a professional sound healing session.
All notes in the Aegean 18 harmonise within the F# Lydian mode — you can never play a wrong note. The additional complexity lies in managing 18 notes and reaching the lower face bass notes comfortably. Most experienced players adapt within their first few sessions. The richness it unlocks is worth the learning curve.
The Lydian mode is a major scale with a raised 4th degree, giving it a distinctive dreamlike, floating quality — brighter than a major scale, yet without the tension of a dominant chord. The F# Lydian on the Aegean creates the characteristic Mediterranean brightness with an added sense of expansive possibility.
All 18 notes are individually tuned to 440 Hz or 432 Hz with precision equipment. Given the instrument's complexity, tuning takes longer and is verified multiple times. A tuning certificate is provided with each instrument.
Wipe with a soft cloth after each use. Every 2–3 months, apply a thin coat of coconut oil over the entire surface, including the lower face. Store in the provided case. With an instrument of this calibre, we recommend more frequent oiling if played daily. Avoid direct impacts on any of the notes.
