Here's a brief guide to some of the most talked-about scales. Make sure to read till the end to find your suitable pick. Let's start with number #1.
Kurd
Kurd is considered as one of the most minor scales which come in D and E minor. Kurd scales are special because of their harmonic diverse nature. Here, you can play a yatao handpan's 6 full chords on 8 notations. This particular scale can be your perfect pick for progressive music.
Mystic
For a smooth, rhythmic playing style, the mystic scales are the best fit. In fact, beginners find the scale really helpful and enjoyable. Just as the name suggests, the mystic scale creates a mystic atmosphere, pleasing both the players and the listeners.
Celtic
The third scale in today's list is Celtic or Amara. The sixth note is absent in this scale, and this is what makes the yatao more harmonious as well as spontaneous. And again, this Celtic scale is very much loved by beginners. So, if you are starting your musical journey with yatao handpans, Celtic can be your perfect choice!
Pygmy
Speaking of Pygmy, this specific scale brings with it the perfect enchanting vibe. Its prolonged aftertaste and sweet melodious tone make the scale very harmonic. Not to mention, pygmy reflects the melancholic feelings, and thus perfectly matches with smooth, cadenced playing style.
Low pygmy
For more of a melodious playing style, low pygmy is the best fit scale. It's actually a deeper variation of the previously-discussed scale. And this scale is suitable for advanced players.
Hijaz
Those who prefer Spanish melodies will definitely fall for Hijaz. If compared with fruit, this particular scale creates a sound that is somewhat tangy. And the handpan enthusiasts often refer to the Hijaz scale as ‘spicy'. Both the beginners and the advanced players can try their hands on this special handpan scale.
Harmonic minor
When speaking of tangy, oriental flavors, missing out on the harmonic minor scale will be so wrong! Well, its tonal structure is somewhat like the Kurd scale. However, its seventh note is a bit increased, which makes it similar to the pygmy scale.
