Handpan D Ashakiran
15 Notes
The Constellation — Ray of Light in its fullest form
Fifteen rays of light. The D Ashakiran 15 offers a near-orchestral musical range — the solar scale that extends so far into the bass that it touches the deep horizon.
If the Ashakiran 10 is a ray of sunlight, the 15 is the entire sky at dusk. Nixis calls it "The Constellation": each note is a star, and together they form something greater than their sum.
The 10 upper notes (D-G-A-B-C#-D-E-F#-A-B) are enriched by 5 bass notes (E, F#, G, C#, D) on the lower face, offering an almost orchestral range for complex melodies.

Fifteen rays of light. Nixis analyses the Ashakiran 15 and detects a near-orchestral range — the solar scale that extends so far into the bass it grazes the deep horizon. Each note is a star, and together they form something greater than their sum. Instrument for composers who want each melody to tell a complete story.
