The F# Low Pygmy 19 Notes is one of our most hypnotic instruments. Built for musicians who seek an immersive, meditative experience, this two-sided handpan combines 12 upper notes with 7 deep bass notes on the lower face, offering an extraordinary sonic range that envelops the listener completely.
The F# Minor Pentatonic (Pygmy) scale is universally celebrated for its deeply contemplative, trance-inducing character. Whether used in sound healing sessions, deep meditation, or experimental composition, every note resonates with a warmth and sustain that feels both ancient and boundless.
At this level, the Enixpan handpan is not merely an instrument — it is a gateway to altered states of listening. The dual-face configuration transforms the playing experience: the upper dome offers melodic complexity while the lower bass plates ground every phrase with resonant, earthly depth.
An Instrument for Serious Practitioners
The F# Low Pygmy 19 Notes is designed for players who have gone beyond technique and are ready to channel the instrument's full expressive power. The extended note range — spanning from D3 to G#5 — allows for compositions of exceptional emotional depth, from thunderous bass foundations to shimmering high melodies.
Every instrument is hand-crafted from Ember Steel, nitrided for long-term resilience and tonal stability. Each handpan is individually tuned, played, and certified by our acoustic team before leaving the workshop.

About the F# Low Pygmy Scale
The Pygmy scale originates from the musical traditions of the Aka Pygmy people of Central Africa. Its pentatonic structure — built on a minor third foundation — creates a modal soundscape that transcends cultural boundaries, evoking both ancient ritual and timeless meditation.
In the F# low tuning, the scale descends into particularly rich, resonant territory. The lower bass notes add a drone-like quality that is perfect for sound healing and trance induction, while the upper register retains the characteristic Pygmy shimmer.
This instrument spans nearly 3 full octaves from D3 to G#5, making it one of the most versatile meditative handpans available.
Is the F# Low Pygmy suitable for beginners?
This instrument is classified as Expert due to its 19-note dual-face configuration. Managing two playing surfaces simultaneously requires experience and physical coordination. We recommend starting with a 9 or 10-note model and progressing toward this instrument after several months of regular practice.
How does the dual-face system work?
The upper dome features 12 tonal notes arranged in the traditional handpan layout around the central Ding. The lower face features 7 bass note plates positioned around the bottom of the instrument. Players alternate between faces, creating rich harmonic textures by combining high melodies with deep bass resonances. It takes time to master but opens an entirely new dimension of expression.
What is the difference between 440 Hz and 432 Hz tuning?
440 Hz is the international standard tuning used in classical music, jazz, and most contemporary recordings. It is the best choice for ensemble playing or recording with other musicians.
432 Hz is favoured by sound healers and meditation practitioners who believe it produces a warmer, more resonant tone that aligns better with natural frequencies. Both tunings are available at no additional cost.
What is included with the handpan?
Every F# Low Pygmy 19 Notes includes: the handpan itself (individually certified), a premium protective bag, a microfibre cleaning cloth, a desiccant pouch for humidity control, and access to the Enixpan Learning Platform with video lessons and community support.
How long does delivery take?
Delivery times vary by destination. Europe: 5–10 business days. North America & Australia: 7–14 business days. All orders are shipped with tracking and full insurance. Delivery is free worldwide.
Can I return the instrument if it doesn't suit me?
Yes. We offer a 14-day return policy. If you are not completely satisfied, return the instrument in its original condition and we will issue a full refund, no questions asked. Simply contact our customer service team to initiate the process.
F# Low Pygmy 19-note handpan: features and musical scale
The F# Low Pygmy 19 is the deepest interpretation of the Pygmy scale we offer: 12 top notes — F#3 / G#3 – A3 – C#4 – E4 – F#4 – G#4 – A4 – C#5 – E5 – F#5 – G#5 — completed by 7 underside notes — D3 – E3 – B3 – D4 – B4 – D5 – A5.
Where the C Low Pygmy 9 condenses the tribal spirit of the pentatonic, the 19-note unfolds it across almost three octaves: the lows reach down to D3, the ostinatos gain doubled voices, and the high register (up to A5) brings a shimmer the small format does not possess. The hypnosis of the Pygmy, scaled up to a stage instrument.
The build is identical to the rest of the collection: Ember Steel (nitrided steel), 53 cm across, 26 cm high, 4.5 kg, hammered and hand-tuned to 440 Hz or 432 Hz, with all 19 notes checked individually before shipping and a tuning certificate supplied.
Who is the F# Low Pygmy 19 for?
The F# Low Pygmy 19 is for those for whom the low register is not one colour among many, but the heart of their practice.
At €2,900 with free shipping, the F# Low Pygmy 19 is the expert instrument of our tribal line: to buy a professional pentatonic handpan is to choose depth without ever sacrificing the harmonic certainty that defines the Pygmy.
The pentatonic remains the most forgiving scale there is: even across 19 notes, no combination can sound wrong. That is what makes this format unique among expert instruments — its range impresses, yet its playing stays immediate, and the lessons of the included learning platform apply without adaptation. Listen to it side by side with the C Low Pygmy 9 on our online tester Nixis to measure the leap in scale, and order with peace of mind: 14-day money-back guarantee, free return shipping included.
