{"product_id":"ayasa-d-ashakiran-17","title":"Ayasa D Ashakiran 19","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe Ayasa D Ashakiran 19 is a handpan that radiates light. Its name means \"ray of hope\" - an extended form of the Asha scale, which simply means \"hope\" - and the instrument lives up to it completely. Bright, uplifting, and full of joyful energy, yet carrying a gentle undercurrent of melancholy, the Ashakiran is one of the most emotionally rich and versatile scales in the handpan world. With 19 notes spread across top and bottom, crafted from Ayasa's proprietary Ember Steel, this is an instrument built for expansive, expressive playing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFor Intermediate and Advanced Players\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe Ashakiran is a major scale which gives it a sound even brighter and more radiant than a standard major tuning. Where classic major scales can feel straightforward, the Ashakiran floats: it bursts with positive energy, while its harmonic structure opens up a surprising range of moods, from light and cheerful to reflective and tender. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe Ayasa D Ashakiran 19 takes this already versatile scale and expands it dramatically. With eleven top notes and eight bottom notes, the instrument offers an exceptionally wide pitch range, from the deep D3 ding all the way up to the bright F#5, enabling complex chord voicings, layered melodies, and the kind of dynamic, full-bodied playing that turns a solo performance into something genuinely captivating. It is a scale that welcomes street musicians and performers, meditative players and composers, all with equal warmth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat’s in the Box?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAyasa D Ashakiran 19 Handpan\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBag of Your Choice\u003c\/strong\u003e: A convenient and stylish way to carry your handpan.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCare Instructions\u003c\/strong\u003e: Easy-to-follow guidelines for maintaining your handpan.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDimensions\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 53 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 26 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4.5 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Details\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScale\u003c\/strong\u003e: Ashakiran \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKey:\u003c\/strong\u003e D Major\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTop side notes\u003c\/strong\u003e: D3 – G3, A3, B3, C#4, D4, E4, F#4, A4, B4, F#5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBottom side notes\u003c\/strong\u003e: E3, F#3, G4, C#5, D5, E5, G5, A5\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Ember Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandard Pitch\u003c\/strong\u003e: 440 Hz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSound and Build\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eEvery Ayasa handpan is shaped using a standardised deep-draw method - a process refined over more than a decade - that ensures a consistent shell thickness across the entire instrument. This precision is the foundation of Ayasa's signature sound: clear, balanced, and resonant across every note field, with a full low register and bell-like precision in the upper tones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe D Ashakiran 19 is crafted from Ayasa's proprietary \u003cstrong\u003eEmber Steel\u003c\/strong\u003e - a stainless steel alloy developed in-house that produces a distinctly warm, rounded tone with exceptional sustain. Ember Steel is also notably more resilient to temperature and humidity changes than standard nitrided steel, making it an ideal material for players who perform outdoors or in varying conditions. Its characteristic bronze patina deepens naturally over time, giving each instrument a visual warmth that is entirely its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe D Ashakiran produces a sound that is bright, open, and uplifting, with the radiant major character shining through every note. The wide 19-note range gives the instrument remarkable versatility and luminous upper tones sing above a warm, grounded bass foundation. Each Ayasa handpan is hand-tuned individually after shaping, and every instrument must meet Ayasa's exacting standards before it leaves the workshop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHigh-Quality Craftsmanship\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAyasa Instruments, led by founder Ralf, has been crafting high-quality Handpans since 2016.
