“D”
or “C” Lead Pan
The “D” lead pan is often used in large steel band orchestras where there
are other instruments in the pan family that are assigned the low C and C#
notes in musical arrangements. If the instrument is to be used alone or with
smaller groups, it is very beneficial to play a low “C” pan, since those two
notes (low C and C#) add significantly to the low range. It is true that the
“D” lead has two notes at the upper end of its range that the low “C” does
not, but these particular notes are much less useful or significant than
those at the lower range. They are seldom played, except by professional pan
players. For these reasons, we recommend the low “C” pan for its great
versatility, except in those instances where a steel band director of a
larger orchestra prefers all “D” leads.
