RAV Vast D Celtic Minor

Listening to the sound of D Celtic Minor makes you feel enlightened and relaxed. Unlike many minor scales, this one brings tranquillity without the feeling of melancholy. Thus, it’s a Rav that creates a positive atmosphere. D minor is a widely popular scale among hand drums and steel pans, so the D Celtic Minor RAV Vast is no exception. It is more likely that the first handpan or tongue drum you have ever heard was tuned in D minor. Now you’ve got the chance to own an instrument with the sound that once captivated you.
The vibrations of the D Celtic scale can remind you of the wind chimes or singing bowls sound. These bowls are usual accompaniments for meditation and sound-healing, so D Celtic is perfect for this purpose. It’s a chakra-tuned drum which means that each drum note harmonizes with the inner vibrations of the chakras in your body. That’s what makes it a perfect instrument for energy balancing.
The Ding is tuned in D3 while the rest steel tongues are tuned in the 3rd, 4th and 5th octaves. The D Celtic is based on the D minor scale with the omitted 6th note. In addition, multiple classic chords can be played with the D Celtic Minor: F major, С major, A minor, D Dorian, F Lydian.
The D Celtic Minor has various relative scales in the RAV Vast drum collection. First, it’s, of course, the B Celtic Minor. At first glance, these two drums can seem to be twins. However, each scale has its individuality. The D Celtic has a higher and more sonorous voice than the relative B Celtic scale. It creates a light, airy atmosphere.
The D Celtic has its twin in the RAV Pan collection – D Celtic RAV Pan. Just like its brother, the handpan D Minor is melodic, bright and provides a sense of hope. It is also one of the easiest pan scales to handle.

Moreover, these two drums create a fantastic duet so that you can experiment with simultaneous playing.
