Taking the D Major RAV Pan can be compared to buying a very good music concert ticket. This handpan has a light, vague, and airy sound. Hearing its melodies arouses a joyful feeling – the same that you have while listening to your favorite song.
D major is one of the most popular and recognisable scales in music history. It gained its glory during the Baroque period. The melodies played on instruments with D major tuning sounded carelessly cheerful and entertained the audience at feasts and balls.
This drum is the recreation of the classic D Major scale in the RAV Pan version. This drum was made to pair the D Major RAV Vast as both drums have the same note layout. However, this scale sounds good with almost any other instrument.
RAV Pan D Major is for those who are familiar with handpans. It will especially appeal to seasoned musicians who love to compose and play with bands.
When you purchase the RAV Pan, you also get a hard case to ease the transporting.

The D Major RAV Pan creates a bright, happy, and joyful mood. It will sound very harmonious, especially if getting in sophisticated and experienced hands.
The note layout of the D Major RAV Pan is based on Lydian mode (G – A – B – C# – D – E – F# – G). Named after the ancient Kingdom of Lydia, this mode is one of 7 classic Greek modes that are considered to be the beginning of all beginnings in music theory.
The Lydian scale is the second major scale with a raised 4th note that provides an entirely new sense of movement through this change. The D Major RAV Pan note layout is based on the Lydian scale with a repetitive A-note (the second bottom and the top notes). This positioning only benefits while improvising.
The Ding of the handpan D Major is tuned in D3; the tongues are tuned in the 3rd and 4th octave. It has the only halftone between C#4 and D4.
The D Major scale was commonly used in European classical music and became famous thanks to the traditions of Baroque violin music. The D Major scale is usually associated with triumphant, victory-rejoicing holiday songs and Hallelujah heaven-rejoicing compositions. However, the D Major RAV Pan is based on the Lydian mode, and such instruments are usually performed at a slower tempo. In addition, the softness of the handpan's voice provides a more soothing effect on the instrument's overall sound. As a result, you create a moderately joyful, uplifting sound without the feel of triumphant marches. The note variety of the D Major RAV Pan also provides you with an opportunity to play songs in a relative B Minor mode. Thus, this drum is just perfect for creating "pop" handpan songs.
Like the other RAV Pans, the handpan has a bronze-colored body of high-quality steel with shiny golden dimples. It also has the Heartbeats air diffuser on the bottom, redirecting the vibrations and enhancing the audio waves inside. This provides a more balanced and more robust voice to the instrument. Always make sure to keep the correct position of the Heartbeats. The Heartbeats should always be opened while playing to provide the proper sound. The closed position is only applicable when storing and transporting the drum.
For whom this scale will work
Although this scale replicates the D Major RAV Vast's layout (except the Ding), which is one of the easiest scales to deal with, the D Major RAV Pan is quite a tricky drum. Thus, we recommend this pan drum to seasoned musicians with a solid background who know music theory and tend to compose melodies. So, if you are an experienced handpan 9 notes player seeking to buy a great tool for composing and playing together with other musicians, the D Major RAV Pan is your perfect choice.
We do not particularly recommend this scale for meditation due to its resonating and uplifting sound that may prevent you from concentrating and relaxing.
Among all the RAV Labs collection instruments, D Major RAV Pan sounds well with almost all of them. The best duets will be with D Major, B Celtic Minor and B Celtic Double Ding, B RUS, B Kurd and E Low Pygmy RAV Vasts. Among well known classic instruments D Major scale will match great with piano, guitar and any percussive drums. Thus, if you plan to play with a band or in a duet, do not hesitate to order the handpan D Major.
To keep the perfect sound of this fantastic instrument safe, we provide a RAV Pan hard case made of unique protective material as a compliment when you are purchasing the RAV Pan.
