{"product_id":"yataopan-e2-pygmy-17","title":"YataoPan E2 Pygmy 17","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe YataoPan E2 Pygmy 17 is a handpan built for depth - in every sense of the word. Rooted in an exceptionally low E2 ding, this Master Line instrument takes one of the oldest and most iconic scales in the handpan world and grounds it in a register that few instruments ever reach. The result is a sound that is haunting, expansive, and profoundly resonant - earthy enough to feel in your chest, open enough to lose yourself in. This is a handpan for players who want to go all the way down, and all the way in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFor Advanced Players and Serious Musicians\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe Pygmy scale is built on a pentatonic structure that creates a rare kind of harmonic unity: because every note outlines a single consistent chord, every combination resonates naturally. There are no wrong notes, only different moods. It is a scale of longing, contemplation, and otherworldly calm - and in the low E2 tuning, that character deepens dramatically. The ding sits in a profoundly low register, the tone fields carry real weight, and the whole instrument takes on a grounded, meditative gravitas that a standard-register Pygmy simply cannot match.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eWith 17 notes across top and bottom, the E2 Pygmy 17 offers an extraordinary tonal range. The deep bottom notes - including the resonant B2 and D3 - anchor the instrument with a powerful low end, while the upper register runs bright and clear all the way to E5. This wide span opens up complex chord voicings, layered compositions, and fluid movement between deep, brooding passages and shimmering melodic lines. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/N0_Xy2nSSXo\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat’s in the Box?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYataoPan E2 Pygmy 17\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\u003eHandpan Care Pack\u003c\/strong\u003e: Everything you need to keep your instrument in top condition.\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\u003ch3\u003eDimensions \u0026amp; Weight\u003c\/h3\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\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScale\u003c\/strong\u003e: Low Pygmy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKey\u003c\/strong\u003e: E2 Minor\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: E2 – E3, F#3, G3, B3, D4, E4, F#4, G4\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: B2, D3, A3, C4, B4, C5, D5, E5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandard Pitch\u003c\/strong\u003e: 440 Hz\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4 class=\"text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold\"\u003eSound and Build\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe YataoPan E2 Pygmy 17 is crafted from \u003cstrong\u003estainless steel\u003c\/strong\u003e, chosen for its clean, precise tone and long-term tuning stability. Stainless steel delivers a clear fundamental with well-defined overtones and reliable sustain - a material particularly well-suited to a deep, wide-ranging instrument like this one, allowing the low bass notes to bloom fully while keeping the upper register articulate and singing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe defining feature of this handpan is its extraordinary low end. The E2 ding sits deeper than almost any standard handpan, delivering a bass presence that is felt as much as heard - a resonant foundation that gives the entire instrument a sense of gravity and space. Notes bloom slowly and sustain with weight, giving even gentle playing a profound, meditative quality. Above that foundation, the upper notes catch the light with clarity and shimmer, creating a tonal landscape of remarkable depth and breadth. Because all notes outline a single consistent chord, every combination creates powerful harmonic unity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eEvery YataoPan is personally played and checked before it leaves us. Instruments that don't pass are reworked on-site - including retuning, resealing, and quality corrections. If it doesn't sound right, it doesn't ship.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 class=\"text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold\"\u003eThe YataoPan Promise\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eWhen Malte Marten co-founded the Yataoshop in 2020, the mission was clear: make handpans accessible to everyone, without compromising on honesty.
