Which E Amara do I need?

The course is built on the common E Amara 20 layout developed by Ayasa Instruments and works with the E Amara 15 and E Amara 20 from the Yatao Shop. Your handpan does not need to be made by Ayasa or Yatao - if it has the same notes, you can follow the course.

• E Amara 15 - Top: E3, B3, D4, E4, F#4, G4, A4, B4, D5, E5 | Bottom: C3, D3, F#3, G3, A3
• E Amara 20 - Top: E3, B3, D4, E4, F#4, G4, A4, B4, D5, E5, F#5, G5, A5 | Bottom: C3, D3, F#3, G3, A3, C4, C5

If your handpan differs by one or two notes, you can usually adapt the patterns with a little practice. These variations are not covered separately in the course.

“For a long time, I was actually quite skeptical about extended handpans. I always loved the simplicity of the handpan, and I wasn’t sure if adding more notes would make the instrument more complicated and take away some of its magic. The E Amara completely changed my perspective. It showed me that an extended scale can still feel incredibly intuitive while opening up a much bigger musical world. That’s why I created this course: to help you understand the logic behind this beautiful scale and show you how much music is actually waiting inside your instrument.” - Malte Marten
