Omg! Nirvana! Congrats on being literally the first KZbin channel to document the entire process from beginning to end! Every other company prior to the release of Pantheon's halo patent. Hace only showed snippets in really crap quality. Thank you so much man!

[@nan_sound]

Beautiful Work!

[@stevenyjtsai]

[@greggreg2263]

I always thought they were just made by a machine😮

[@peytonblanscet6035]

Came here after looking at the prices for handpans, and yeah, that makes sense lol

[@j.d.2896]

Wow! Super cool! My Dad and I have a Nirvana handpan and we love it. It's super fascinating to see all the work that goes into one and super cool to see Jay making more and more awesome instruments. We wish him much success!

[@joselinkuruvila1]

Could you pet me know how much does it cost?

[@cravinvitamind]

@@joselinkuruvila1 a 9 note handpan like that would probably be somewhere around 1,500

[@rafaelthomas4174]

Amazing!

[@Gdariovg]

Awesoooooooome thank you 🙏🏼 for sharing

[@michaelhandpan9675]

sper video, thanks ! great work and so fast :-)

[@pramlochanadhara]

I always wondered that how the sharp electronic sounds come from handpan. I thought there is an electronic setup inside the instrument. Now I know a lot by this watching this video👏. Handpan reminds me of flying saucer😉.

[@tubi2009]

thanks so much...!!

[@kylegrimes2942]

This is a lot more complicated than I ever could’ve imagined. How did you get into constructing these? How long does it take to fine tune? These are so atmospheric sounding and beautiful, so keep up the great work!

[@peteralexanian1460]

Thanks for sharing Jay, nice to see a glimpse of the hard work you do to make these beautiful sounding instruments. And great background music too. Is that you playing? If so, do you have a recording?

[@mrShazam]

this video must have million of views

[@rosaflaviamillaavalos8308]

Excelente

[@nicoleandjoshbaldwin4228]

Why are these so expensive?!!! This video is why! So much work and beauty is put into these.

[@CiluhStyle1]

How many of them have you messed up on? Crazy production

[@wokemyarse4133]

Cooooool

[@VennGamesMoreDoBeWeirdThoLol]

I stumbled across handpans on accident and fell in love. I’m super happy to have found your website. I look forward to purchasing your Celtic d minor handpan. Plus, from the small research I’ve done, I’m really liking your style and finishes on the handpan. Not to mention the price. I live in Cali also. Do you have a store?

[@Acolyteinstruments]

Alex Games & More thanks Alex - if you ever have any questions please don’t hesitate to contact us anytime!

[@jimsim3]

does the gauge of steel make a differance. and what type of steel?

[@user-cr6gm1vw5e]

Nice work, what model pneumatic rammer is that?

[@paulbee8131]

so awesome thanks so much .. I plan to try this lol . this summer. do you have any links for the tone field templates? and what to use on the back side to get the perfect size dip? i'm going to be doing all this with crap tools and home made jig .. so its going to be a challenge already. thanks. this is encouraging.

[@paulbee8131]

oh and is 16 guage too thick? and is 22 too thin? those are my steel choices at convience.

[@shroominion7529]

Hi there what is the difference when hammering in the ding and notes with hammer versus other makers who use the press machine a and steel ball ? Kind regards

[@panworks]

I am wondering - Once the top section with the notes is tuned; when you attach it to the bottom section do the pitches change due to the enclosed space.

[@thisall4real]

At 1:10 to 1:30 when shaping the notes/pan. Did you ever hammer from outside? or was this all done by hitting from inside. Im puzzled how you can get notes so flat from hitting around them on inside of shell.

[@EddieInzauto]

At 1:05 you're pushing out all of the area that isn't a tone field, right? (With an air hammer?) But how did the tone fields go from curved to flat?

[@rolloutthebarrel]

How long does it take to create one from beginning to end?

[@Elbas_Tardo]

Amazing, look easy, but is very complicated. XD

[@indiasdjnan8579]

Where & how i get this hangdrum ? If i want to buy.

[@jamesmatthew1903]

Which version of your instrument is playing in this video?

[@testpilot6954]

Hi could you hydro form the shell?

[@kiorsoundhealing9683]

Hi Terence :) Thank you so much for this video bro :) Im about to start my journey on experimenting on making my own handspan and this video is really an inspiration. Can you tell me the name of that tool you use to cut the edges of the metal on minute 1.36m ? Is it electrical or pneumatic? Thanks in advance. Keep those pans coming. Much love

[@Acolyteinstruments]

That is an electric nibbler. Good luck with your journey 👍😁👍

[@kiorsoundhealing9683]

Thank you so much for your quick answer Jay :) Much love brother and thank you for the motivation :) @@Acolyteinstruments

[@Pierstoval]

That's awesome! How much time did it take to build this single handpan?

[@Acolyteinstruments]

Alex Rock times can vary from usually around 20-40 hours working on the instrument of the corse of 2 weeks

[@marcinmorun]

How long does it take to make only one?

[@bonniebernier345]

Beautiful work of art sir just wish you could make one for the poor man to purchase

[@Acolyteinstruments]

Wess Bailey this year we began manufacturing a new model called the Acolyte that is 1200usd - it’s definitely a great value for a good instrument

[@kamatessy]

How to buy the nervana handpan?

[@Bthelick]

what is the audio strobe software you use to help tune the harmonics? reminds me very much of some guitar tuners but they only deal with the fundamental.

[@Acolyteinstruments]

Linotune 😁

[@Bthelick]

@@Acolyteinstruments thankyou 👊

[@charles.6691]

Excuse me, what did you spray at 1:56? Did he suddenly turn black? Very magical

[@moritzLLD]

most likely oil, it protects the metal and makes the "grey" color of the shell after annealing seem darker at the same time =)

[@Acolyteinstruments]

Correct - its an all natural lubricant

[@wedonotforgivewedonotforge3031]

Yep top vid an top man ide like to buy one of these ........how much dude

[@ctrang0458]

3100USD

[@AlchemistTongueDrums]

Love it. What about the epoxy coating though? How do you cure the powder on since those are too big to fit/hang in a standard oven?

[@Acolyteinstruments]

Andrew for the ones that are powder coated they go to an industrial size oven that you can fit a car into

[@wildpeacesurvivalbushcraft3146]

Hi your webside dos’t work. Can we buy other side?

[@grandturko1881]

Simple, It's done in three minutes.

Can i use your video on my instagram page? And introduce your activity with your brand?

[@jvon3885]

I'd love to become a master builder of these. I have a shop and most the tools already. Hook it up I'll work for trade.

[@sagittarius___]

What's the tool called at 0:25 ? I study mechanics and I've never seen something like this before..

[@Ezzakins]

Pretty sure it's a Pneumatic Rammer (air hammer)

[@sagittarius___]

@@Ezzakins thanks :) will look it up

[@Acolyteinstruments]

Pneumatic sand rammer that has been adapted for the application

[@sagittarius___]

@@Acolyteinstruments thank you :)
