The C# Pygmy 17 handpan is particularly compatible with other instruments in similar tunings, such as the D Kurd or the E Pygmy. Its pentatonic nature makes it easy to combine with other percussive and melodic instruments. It harmonizes particularly well with instruments that are also tuned in pentatonic or Dorian scales. This enables diverse musical collaboration and integration into different musical styles, from world music to contemporary or meditative music

The C# Pygmy scale is popular in many pieces of music due to its unique sound, intended to create a calming and meditative atmosphere. It is often used in yoga and meditation sessions as well as in sound healing applications. Specific songs using the C# Pygmy scale are less common, with more improvised sessions and live performances by handpan artists. In the handpan community, the C# Pygmy is valued for its versatility and emotional expression. Players of the scale aim to create deep, atmospheric soundscapes that can transport audiences into an almost trance-like calm.
