Handpans - D Hijaz

D Hijaz is a bold, spicy scale known for its strong rhythmic pull and exotic melodic color. With its distinctive intervals, this tuning naturally evokes Middle Eastern and flamenco-inspired phrasing, inviting movement, groove, and expressive percussive play.

This scale is best suited for experienced players, as it shines in fast, rhythm-driven patterns interwoven with melody. Jazzy, dramatic, and full of character, D Hijaz is ideal for players who enjoy dynamic contrast and high-energy expression.

In Carnatic music, this scale is closely related to Vakulabharanam, a name that poetically translates to “jewel of the belly,” reflecting its deep connection to rhythm, movement, and dance traditions.
