The D Hijaz scale is one of the most expressive and instantly recognizable tunings in the handpan world. Rooted in Middle Eastern and Arabic music traditions, it’s known for its exotic, dramatic, and emotionally charged sound.
MAG Instruments D Hijaz handpans are created by our master tuners in the MAG workshop according to the highest musical and technical standards using our strict quality control system.
From a musical perspective, Hijaz is the fifth mode of the harmonic minor scale — meaning it starts on the 5th degree of a harmonic minor. This unique starting point gives it a Phrygian dominant flavor, characterized by a half-step followed by an unusually large step early in the scale.

The signature interval leap creates the distinct “Hijaz” feeling — full of tension, mystery, and beauty.
