The Harmony SE205 is built from two deep drawn steel bowls hardened by nitriding, then hand tuned to D Amara: D3 in the middle with A3, C4, D4, E4, F4, G4, A4 and C5 around it at 440 Hz. A padded bag is included, and US listings hover around the $2,000 mark, which puts it next to the German competition rather than the import kits.
Nitrided steel speaks quickly and with a shorter tail than stainless, so chords do not smear and rhythmic playing stays readable. That comes with homework: the shell needs oiling now and then, and damp rooms are its enemy. Sela offers a broad scale catalog, so this D Amara is a safe first choice, while players who want long meditative sustain should compare it with the stainless SE202 before paying.
