The gateway to the Orient

The augmented seconds — the characteristic intervals of the oriental mode — create a dramatic tension that few instruments dare to assume. This is not a scale of relaxation: it's a scale of truth. Nixis calls it the frequency of unanswered questions. Those who choose the Hijaz know that beauty is not always comfortable.

Questions about the C Hijaz

The Hijaz is a musical mode originating from the Middle East and used throughout North Africa, Turkey and Greece. Its characteristic augmented second interval (between the second and third degree) creates a distinctive Oriental tension that immediately evokes ancient musical traditions. It's one of the most recognisable and evocative modes in world music.
The C Hijaz is listed as intermediate because its distinctive character is best appreciated by players who have some familiarity with handpan sounds. However, technically it remains accessible — all notes harmonise within the scale. Players attracted to its unique oriental character often find their motivation makes learning faster.
Each handpan is individually tuned to 440 Hz or 432 Hz. The 440 Hz frequency is the international reference, while 432 Hz is preferred for therapeutic practices. A tuning certificate is provided with each instrument.
Unlike the D Kurd (natural minor) or D Ashakiran (major), the Hijaz has a characteristic augmented second that gives it an unmistakably oriental flavour. It's the most dramatically intense scale in our collection — chosen by musicians who want to evoke strong emotions and transport their audience to another world.
Wipe with a soft cloth after each use. Every 2–3 months, apply a thin coat of coconut oil over the entire surface. Store in the provided case. Avoid direct impacts on the notes.
