So helpful! Thank you so much for this! Big thumbs up!

This experiment with cheap handpans is interesting. I am very happy with my kurd d minor 9+1 handpan from Noblet. It was worth saving up for it for a long time.

I finished the video,didnt expect that sound neither,i got lucky because mine came perfect,i would love to show you,but thank you for trying buying a better one,im thinking to get a new one

Although it's not cheap, Iskra Handpan by Symphonic Steel is a good brand to consider. I bought one for my first handpan and love it.

Hamsa handpans 9 note handpans for $1250 dollars

Hi very nice video, I hope too that in future we have access to entry level handpans, but sometimes it's just a lottery and the price don't necessarily has to do with the quality of the product, there is not directly a proportion or a relation between price and quality especially in the lower price segment. For the higher price segment I could almost say the same with the small difference that the price doubled as well the expectations about the products...After a while I understood it's mostly a matter of material used to produce the handpans, I definitely recommend a high quality heat treated nitrated steel. It's a expensive hobby, I can't remember how many trial and error I've done, and how many returning to the shop at my own cost too...none of the lower price segment handpans stayed for longer than a year. Then in 2015 I buyed two Terré handpans (Terre Handpan Cosmic D-Moll & Terre Handpan Cosmic F Akebono) I think from Thomann, before I got my Spacedrum from MetalSounds in France (13 notes 432hz chromatic scale). Well the Terré handpans costed about 1750€ each in 2015 and both got rust shortly after the warranty expired, the rust was not visible on the outside, it was in the inside, I waxed and oiled them after every use and stored them in dry rooms and just wasn't aware that they rusted from the inside, well unfortunately until it was too late. The MetalSound Spacedrum was 1400€ in 2016 and is still in tune no rust and no issues. The only thing I would recommend nowadays is to not buy a 432hz tuned handpan if your intention is to play with other handpan players or other musicians because most of them have 440hz tuned handpans and instruments, and well you guess it,440 and 432 tunng, it just doesn't fit together, if you find players with the same tuning it fits wonderfully. I also have two tongue drums from Rammerdrum in Italy and I like them very much, they can be played by hand or with mallets, but I definitely prefer the Spacedrum because I'm used to play with my hands.

Thanks for the plug for @drifthandpans!!!

That first jam is so good makes me want one.

Sound tooo bad 😅. In argentina with 500 buy a profesional used we have a excelente makers.btry buy one if you want incant say a Lot of makers jere. Y have a N 8 celtic

im in love 😌

Hope they have a return policy you can use, especially since it isn't what you ordered. I think some things are best bought in person so you can try before you buy.

To start off, I like out of the ordinary sounds. This handpan sounded... Interesting. I am really curious how it actually sounds when playing it. It's out of tune, but in a disorienting way. Barely insulting but not enough to leave the room.

Hello where can I get music to play with my handpan? Not only play the handpan but with background music, you know do covers, thanks for the info and congrats in your channel!

caisapan in germany makes a fair play handpan for ca 1000 Euro . Great Instrument !

Spirit pan by Rebecca Paige, Asheville, NC USA I'm very satisfied with it. Love your channel. You are not only a great player, but also a great teacher. Thanks.

Hi. I know that they have started producing Handpans of really good quality in Iran. In Russia they sell them for 300 Eur machine made and 500 eur handmade.

Thank you for posting this beautiful song and for all that you contribute to the community!!! Blessings and happy holiday!!!

hello!!!!! i like yours videos and carry on!!! I hesitate between a sela handpan and an ayasa handpan. but the prise is clearly the double for the ayasa. what do you prefer to chose if you had the choice between them? quality, sound and durability? thank you :p <3

YES! #Handpanuary I'm here for it! You're the most amazing handpan teacher that I've found on KZbin! I send you and everyone reading this positive vibes and I hope you're having a wonderful holiday! 🥰🎵

Excellent video! Big thanks!

Huge thanks for this! Thumbs up! You have some of the most helpful handpan videos I've found!

Big thanks! This is very helpful!

Thank you so much for your work! :D You do so much! It was a funny and sad video at the same time! 🥰But, thank you! Your Channel is great! I love your music..., never forget this... your music!! Much more than just the Tutorials! ;)

Hi! I'm a beginner and I bought a Pigmy (9 notes) from Cenit instruments. I'm happy with my baby!

Ahh this is definitely one of your best works. Simply beautiful on every level thank you ❤

In my experience, depends on the person who is playing just as much. Talent and emotion often overshadow the quality of any instrument being played 🎉

what is the best way for me to try and sell my Rav vast in the UK with no connections? i bought it a few years ago and kept it in good condition but havent put enough time into it to justify keeping when the money would be really useful.

I am very happy with my Handpan from Handpan Studio Amsterdam. Handmade and great

super crazy to see how temu basically completely scams people with these instruments. that's not worth 500 pounds. i know a few beginner makers that make some lovely instruments for around 900 - 1000 which is the cheapest i've seen ever for a nice and in tune instrument. i recently got an F2 pygmy 13 from octopus handpan, it is lovely. it wasn't very cheap but it's more than worth it to have a nice instrument that is gonna stay in tune and stable for a long time. wish you a lovely holliday season amy and much lovee 🙏🙏

I got a Temu Handpan 1 year ago, 180 American dollars, perfect 432hz but the ding or deep D note on the top is a little out of tune now, it was as advertised in the ad but it’s not very loud or good quality, took all the siding off exposing sharp edges but it rings out louder and more high end now, I was perfect to see if I was even gonna be able to play it cus I’m not a percussionist, and I can’t really play it well after a year so I will probably never buy a real quality one

Sounds like a wonky G. Appreciate the frustration. Thanks for being willing to take the risk on these !! You have my sympathy on this "fail". Starting with the zipper.......🙄

Hi Amy Darren from last week's course. I've taken the plunge and bought one. Happy Christmas hope to see you in the new year 😊

I'm luckily more into tonguedrums, but the Ravs are crazy expensive as well, even 2nd hand. For tonguedrums I recommend the Tonedrum and Pulsar Mini made by Maxim Yudin. Atm for 400 € plus shipping you get 11 perfectly tuned notes with the Tonedrum (but all scales with a C in the center) and my 15 tongue custom-scale Pulsar Mini was 840 €.

What do you think of Cosmos hand pans?

Are you collecting boxes? But about the handpan. Just buy an Elaia handpan. You know you get an excellent handpan and it's for life. Maybe you have to tune it after many years. But any handpantuner would love to do it. You wont regret spending some extra money on a Elaia handpan. atleast, that's my opinion. Have a great week.

I was gifted a Pantheon Steel Halo Plus, and I have to say that it’s the most amazing sounding hand pan I’ve ever heard.

🥹 I'm getting really frustrated ❤❤️

What beginner priced handpan should I try? Still on the hunt for the best beginner handpan...

Köszönjük!🥰

I think i get it. Cheap one sounds slightly untuned, flat. Expensive one sound almost reverberates, especially high pitch tones. Was looking to buy cheap one my self. Now, glad found this video instead. Cheap hand pan manufacturers do not post comparison videos, probably bc it would tank their sales. Thank you.

❤

you lost me at girlfriend

I got a cheap Chinese version of a double sided handpan online. When it came it wasnt tuned correctly at all. It was way off. It was so bad. I couldnt play it or enjoy it at all. If u live in Southern California. In the L.A. area. I really recommend Local Steel Drum maker Dave Berry @Daves island Instruments (D.I.I.) In Lakewood, CA. He's been around for a long time making steel drums his whole life. Meeting Dave was the best thing ever. At D.I.I. u'll find handpans of different creations from Dave himself n ukuleles. Dave is the man and can tune ur drums if they aren't tuned correctly like mine was. He didn't charge that much. And was super excited to try and tune something he didn't create. He said it was a challenge because it's so cheap and tin that u cant hammer it to much or it's damaged. He said with these u only get a few shoots with the hammer but u have to get it rite. He said he could do it. And also asked me for permission to film the process for his KZbin channel online. I agreed. Showcasing how he tunes a cheaper chinese made budget handpan. For people to see him in action. It can be done. After Dave finished my cheap handpan is now an amazing instrument. Harmonics are perfect . It sounds so beautiful. After that I ended up buying a custom double sided hand pan from Dave. It's was super pricey but he put 3big deep notes on the bottom. So I can play this one side ways. Or regular. I like his work. His handpans are so good quality. N he's not afraid to try new ideas. If u can pay for it. He can make it. But Dave literally is the man for fixing my budget handpan. I actually like the sound from my budget handpan alil better than Dave's . Even though his drums are professional handpans. I got that one in 440hz and the Chinese one is 432hz. So that's why I like the budget handpands sound better. 440 hz so I can jam with regular instruments. Like piano or keyboard. But to me it sounds to high pitch. That's why I requested putting the deepest notes he can make on the bottom. He put some deep deep notes I love it. So I like the 432 better. It sounds so unique now that the budget handpan is correctly tuned. But the bottom side to this one is all high pitch notes. I wish they were all low pitch tones. Cause the gu is low tone. So its weird high tones with a super low tone. So I think the budget handpands are dope as fuck if u have enough money to get it tuned. Preferably from Dave's Island Instrument! Dave's really good at everything steel drums. U'll be amazed. Once it's tuned perfect!

I stumbled across this one totally at random, and I'm kind of blown away that handpans no longer cost $30,000,000 or whatever. Procuring one used to be a whole thing. I put the instrument into the unobtanium category, and pretty well forgot about it for the next 18 years. It looks like I need to do some catching up! Too bad I didn't discover this while I had a budget. I am, of course, completely broke at the moment.
