Product Information
Mokum Instruments B Kurd 12
The Mokum Instruments B Kurd 12 is a versatile handpan for players looking for a wider range and a deep, warm tone. The B Kurd scale has a lower and fuller character than the well-known D Kurd and lends itself beautifully to both meditative and melodic playing.
With 12 carefully tuned notes, including additional notes on the lower end, you have more room for melodies, chords, and variation. This makes this handpan appealing to both advanced beginners and experienced players who want to get more out of a single instrument.
The handpan is made of Ember Steel, which is known for its warm tone, rich overtones, and long sustain. The instrument is handcrafted, tuned, and inspected in Amsterdam.
The B-flat major scale
Thanks to its low B fundamental pitch, the B Kurd has a deep, warm, and atmospheric character. The Kurd construction makes intuitive playing easy, while the extended range of this 12-note version offers many possibilities for melodic and expressive playing.
The notes
B2 | (D3) · (E3) · F#3 · G3 · A3 · B3 · C#4 · D4 · E4 · F#4 · (A4)
Notes in parentheses are located at the bottom of the staff.
Ember Steel
The B Kurd 12 is made of Ember Steel. This material produces a warm, full-bodied tone with long sustain and rich overtones. Over time, as the instrument is played, the steel may develop a natural patina. This gives the instrument its own unique character and does not affect its tuning or tone.
Handmade in Amsterdam
Every Mokum Instruments handpan is handcrafted, tuned, and inspected in Amsterdam. The result is an instrument that prioritizes craftsmanship, playability, and sound.

Our warranty covers manufacturing defects, but damage caused by external factors, such as accidents, falls or other external influences, is not covered. We are always ready to work with you and find a suitable solution together.

To keep your hand pan in top condition, it is important to take good care of the instrument. Here are some maintenance tips:
- Do not store in bag: Do not store your hand pan in the bag for long periods of time, as moisture may remain in it. The instrument must be allowed to "breathe" to prevent rust.
- Remove jewelry: Before you start playing, it is important to take off rings, bracelets and watches. These can scratch the surface of your handpan.
- Do not place the handpan on the ground: Always place your handpan on a soft surface, such as a carpet or chair, to prevent damage to the underside.
- Prevent water damage: Keep your hand pan dry. If it does get wet, dry it immediately with a clean cloth, paper towel or tissue. Then lightly apply Handpan Oil. You will receive a bottle with your instrument, and it can be reordered if needed.
- Avoid direct sunlight: The instrument is sensitive to extreme heat and direct sunlight, especially in summer. Too much heat can affect the tuning. Therefore, never leave your handpan in full sunlight, such as in a car without a cover or near a window in the house.
- Do not store the handpan in the bag for long periods: The bag is intended for transportation, not for long-term storage. It is best to store your handpan outside the bag to allow it to "breathe" and prevent accumulation of moisture.
- Use only Handpan Oil for cleaning: Do not use alcohol, disinfectants or other liquids to clean your handpan. These can damage the surface and affect sound quality. Use only Handpan Oil with a soft cloth to maintain and protect your instrument.
