G Pygmy is a mysterious scale. The melodies composed with the G Pygmy are full of heavy rainy clouds and the smell of ozone before a storm. This drum is made of 1.5 mm special steel that provides a deep acoustic sound with a great number of harmonious overtones to this musical instrument.  

The Pygmy scale has a very nice-sounding chord progression that is highly popular among the handpan music players.

The bassy Ding is tuned in G2 and the rest of the tongues are tuned in 3rd and 4th octave. The G Pygmy has only one halftone (D3-D#3) and is a very harmonious scale. The fields above the steel tongues are well-tuned and at the same time there’s no too much noise of your fingers playing, the sound is still warm and thick.

The G Pygmy is sometimes called as the “day-and-night” scale. It has both major and minor tones and can create two distant moods. The higher notes provide a diurnal sunny feel, while the lower notes bring in the nocturnal dramatic and meditative sound. You can switch between these two moods and create stunningly sophisticated and contrasting compositions. The G Pygmy is great for both slow and fast playing that’s what makes it really versatile
