Bright, Open Amara Character: Beloved for its bright, airy sound - lighter and more open than the closely related Kurd, yet fully expressive and emotionally resonant.

Versatile for All Levels: Immediately welcoming to new players, yet with a depth of character experienced musicians continue to explore for years. Complete Harmonic Range: The generous bottom register deepens the harmonic palette, capable of holding full, rich arrangements from a single pair of hands. Mudra Stainless Steel Craftsmanship: Made from Mudra's own developed stainless steel for a clear, velvety sound with room-filling sustain; individually handcrafted and meticulously tuned. The Mudra E Amara 20 is a handpan that strikes a rare and beautiful balance: the warmth and expressiveness of a minor scale, with an openness and clarity that sets it apart from everything around it. The Amara scale is beloved worldwide for its bright, airy character - and in the hands of Mudra, crafted from stainless steel with the precision the Brazilian workshop is known for, it reaches a new level of sonic richness. With 20 notes spanning top and bottom, this instrument is as complete as a handpan can be. For Beginners and Advanced Players Alike The Amara scale is closely related to the Kurd, but with one key distinction: it omits the 6th degree of the minor scale on the top side, giving the sound a distinctly fresher, more spacious quality. The result is a minor tonality that feels lighter and more open - bright and clear, yet fully expressive and emotionally resonant. It is a scale that is immediately welcoming to new players, yet offers a depth of character that experienced musicians continue to explore for years. In its 20-note version, the missing 6th degree is included on the bottom side - completing the full natural minor scale across the instrument without altering the characteristic openness of the top. This means the Mudra E Amara 20 delivers both the original Amara experience and the full harmonic range of the natural minor scale, in one instrument. Ideal for melodic playing, meditation, yoga, live performance, and everything in between. Sound and Build Every Mudra handpan is crafted from their own developed stainless steel - a material selected and developed specifically for its acoustic properties. The result is a sound that is clear, consistent, and velvety, with beautiful harmonics, a warm fundamental tone, and a sustain that fills the room. The surface finish is precise and smooth, with a tactile quality that responds naturally to different playing techniques. The E Amara produces a sound that is bright and clear, with a strong sense of space - lighter and more open than the closely related Kurd, yet maintaining a full and expressive minor character. The 20-note layout amplifies this quality considerably, adding a generous bottom register that deepens the harmonic palette and transforms the instrument into a tool capable of holding full, rich arrangements from a single pair of hands. Each Mudra handpan is individually handcrafted and passes through a meticulous tuning process before leaving the workshop - ensuring that every note, overtone, and resonance meets the maker's exacting standards. About Mudra Handpan Mudra Handpan was founded by Rafael Ortega, a musician and builder from Brazil whose journey to the handpan began after years as a music producer, composer, and explorer of acoustics and psychoacoustics. His first encounter with the instrument reignited a passion for music in its purest form - and led him to study its fabrication from the ground up. Today, Mudra is one of the most respected handpan makers worldwide, with instruments played by professional musicians and artists worldwide. Mudra also develops and supplies its own shells for makers worldwide under the Mira brand - a further testament to the technical precision and materials knowledge that underpins everything the workshop produces.
