Instruments
Video or recording of DjillhiNow I am creating alternately tailor-made instruments for the people who contacted me and people i meet on my way and instruments corresponding to my mood of the moment. I try to have always few instruments to test locally. I eventually sell an instrument on the “flash sale” page. If you want an instrument from me, just use the form of the contact page and i’ll be happy to take care of your needs. Depending on my availability at the moment it may take a little patience.
Scales
Just ask what scale you wish and we’ll look together what are the possibilities. I often make bottom notes and also occasionally mutants (instrument with lot of notes). On this page you’ll be able to hear more than 20 different scales. I am very open to custom project and different scales.
Materials
Nitrided DC04
It’s the classic of handpan|Pantams. Well used it can do magic. Instruments with a strong and loud sound, a big dynamic range, a ceramic touch, a long sustain while keeping interesting for percussive style. I love to work with this material and until late 2019 (i started to offer Stainless Steel) all Djillhis where mad out of this aloy.
The nitriding process is realised in Switzerland with my own recipe that I further ehance since 2015.
Stainless steel
This material produce instruments with a very very long sustain. It’s a joy to play for relaxation. I wouldn’t advise this material for a percussive or fast playing. But for what they are made for, they are mervellous, so enchanting. An other advantage of Stainless is, as the name suggest, it’s not prompt to rust.
Best with headphones or good installation
