An oriental and mystical sonic colour of rare depth

The D Hijaz Handpan draws its inspiration from oriental musical modes. Its D3 – A3, C4, D4, Eb4, F#4, G4, A4, C5, D5 scale creates a unique dramatic tension with its characteristic augmented seconds.

This is not a scale for relaxation — it's a scale for truth. The souls who choose the Hijaz know that beauty is not always comfortable. They have understood that discomfort, sometimes, is the only door to something profound.

Made from nitrided Ember Steel, the D Hijaz delivers an intense emotional colour perfect for world music and deep meditation.

✓Oriental character — Characteristic augmented seconds create hypnotic tension
✓World music — Ideal for musicians seeking a distinctive Eastern voice
✓Deep meditation — Dramatic atmosphere for profound inner journeys

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.

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 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 D 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. Every instrument is checked note by note before shipping.
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 it in the padded cover provided. Avoid direct impacts on the notes.
Buying guide

D Hijaz 10-note handpan: features and musical scale

The D Hijaz 10 shares the artisan build of the whole Enixpan collection: an Ember Steel (nitrided steel) shell measuring 55.9 cm across, 28 cm high and 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 Hijaz musical scale is built around a low D ding: D3 / A3 – C4 – D4 – Eb4 – F#4 – G4 – A4 – C5 – D5. Its signature is the augmented second between the Eb and the F#: this interval, emblematic of Middle Eastern and Mediterranean music, instantly delivers that oriental, mystical, incantatory colour that no classic major or minor mode can produce.

Despite this strong character, the note layout preserves the handpan's fundamental principle: every combination stays harmonious. You can improvise freely — the dramatic tension of the hijaz interval resolves itself within the scale, without ever sounding wrong.

Who is it for?

Who is the D Hijaz for?

The D Hijaz is the intermediate handpan par excellence: technically accessible, yet with a sound personality so distinctive that it rewards above all those who already know what they are looking for.

✓Players who already own a first handpan — a second scale radically different from the classic minor and major modes
✓Lovers of oriental and world music — the colour of Middle Eastern maqams, flamenco and gypsy music at your fingertips
✓Composers and atmosphere creators — a cinematic, mystical hue, ideal for sound design and music for film
✓Trance practices and sound journeys — hypnotic, incantatory phrases that set a mood within a few notes

At €1,690 with free shipping, the D Hijaz costs the same as our beginner models: to buy an intermediate handpan with an oriental character costs no more — it simply asks for an ear that has already chosen its colour.

If this would be your first handpan and you are hesitating, listen to the D Kurd first and then the D Hijaz on our online tester Nixis: the difference jumps out within seconds. The Hijaz remains playable by a motivated beginner — no note can sound wrong — but its dramatic colour is less universal than a natural minor mode. Like all our instruments, it ships with a protective bag, a padded carry case and full access to the learning platform (19 lessons, flash cards, an interactive app with metronome), and it is covered by the 14-day money-back guarantee.

Product FAQ

Your questions before buying the D Hijaz

Its augmented second between the Eb and the F#. This one-and-a-half-tone interval, central to oriental maqams, creates an instantly recognisable dramatic tension — the same one you hear in flamenco or klezmer music. On the handpan, that tension resolves naturally within the scale: the effect is striking, never dissonant.
It is its ideal role. After a D Kurd or an Ashakiran, the Hijaz opens an entirely new melodic vocabulary without changing anything about your technique: same strikes, same playing logic, but an oriental colour that completely renews your inspiration. The two instruments complement each other without ever competing.
Yes: the official demo video is available on this page, and our interactive tester Nixis lets you play every note of the D Hijaz right in your browser, free and with no sign-up. A few minutes is enough to know whether this colour is for you.
The D Hijaz 10 costs €1,690, with free shipping to more than 20 countries. The order includes the hand-tuned handpan (440 or 432 Hz, your choice), its protective bag, the padded carry case, a care guide and access to the learning platform. You are covered by a 14-day money-back guarantee after delivery.
