More About the Pygmy Scale

The Pygmy is one of the oldest and most distinctive handpan scales, you can easily recognize by its eerie yet hopeful sound.

It has a pentatonic structure that gives it an extraordinary emotional identity.

Sound:

• Eerie, airy, and open — evokes a sense of space and mystery.
• Pygmy creates a powerful emotional resonance, as it outlines a single consistent chord across all notes
• Lighter than 7-note scales, playing Pygmy creates a meditative and spacious mood.

Structure:

• A pentatonic scale, missing the 4th and 6th degrees.
• The reduced note set allows for a wider pitch range than 7-note scales.
• Extended versions with bottom notes often allow the complete minor scale to be played.

Good to know: Unlike Kurd or Amara, Pygmy starts with a second interval from the ding (main tone), giving it a chromatic feel.
