Playing For Change Video

In September, Ehssan Karimi, a handpan player that I’ve been in touch with for years via social media contacted me. He notified me that he was going to have the opportunity to participate in a Playing For Change video, as a handpan player, but that he didn’t have the right scale for the project. Specifically, he needed something in C major and wanted to know if I knew anyone in LA that had something like that.

I sent him a Xenith D Celtic, D/ A C D E F G A. While it is in D minor, you do have a good amount of C major, C D E F G A. Enough to play simple children’s songs (Twinkle Twinkle, Jingle Bells, etc). Adding to that, I also sent him a Xenith Clarity C Mixo that I made just for the video—C/ G A C D E F G. Between the two he had more than enough to work on.

Coincidently the director fell in love the with Xenith Clarity and purchased it from me.

Here’s Ehssan recording for Playing For Change:
