As you can see, to the left of this is a photo of a tenor steel pan with the notes superimposed. Here is a kind of 'Pan Technicals for Dummies'. Although you can't see them all here, most tenor pans have 29 notes, the lowest being D3 (the D just to the right of middle C on a piano) and the highest F#5. To create a basic pan arrangement, the minimum range of commonly used pans are Tenor, (Double Second,) Double Guitar, (Four Pans) and Six Pan Bass plus regular percussion instruments. This is just a rough guide as it depends on the availability of the pans and the people to play them. The typical frequency ranges of various
types of pan are shown below. |
