Sadly, after 13 1/2 years, my sweet Mazie passed on … but glad to have her memory alive in all these videos. Thanks for stopping in to listen! So very much appreciated!! 🤗🛸🎶🦋

[@tattooedgardener]

Thank you so much this video helps a lot , I am trying so hard to get my First hand pan, I am in recovery from addiction and depression, music touches my soul and this is my favorite instrument of all time I'm praying someday I will have one to play to help me heal thank you again for your video from Maine!

[@thathandpanlady4510]

For a good quality first pan, be sure to check out the Acolyte series made by Nirvana Handpan…it’s a fine pan and priced about as low as a good quality pan can be priced!! I hope you’re able to get one in the not so distant future … these instruments … truly … are life changers!!! ☺️🛸🎶🦋

[@mothersgauri4137]

Thanks you for this helpful comparison. Confirms much what I've been feeling myself. Much appreciate this.

[@thathandpanlady4510]

Thank YOU for watching! Appreciated as well!! ☺️🙏🏼….🛸🎶🦋

[@pjeffreypwong]

Thanks! This is very helpful. I’m considering a stainless steel to start, but actually this changed my mind

[@thathandpanlady4510]

Oh wow … that’s funny … I was just rockin’ out on a nitrided pan and mentioned to someone how you can’t do this on a stainless steel pan… And then your text came in… Thanks for popping into my channel and watching!! 🙏🏻🛸🎶🦋

[@essiDJ]

I started on a nitrided one, and I am happy with this decision! The clear sound and the short reverb makes it much easier for an absolutely beginner

[@thathandpanlady4510]

@@essiDJ … Hey there … I’m sorry … I just found this …. And while I welcome you to my channel, better yet, I welcome you to the Handpan Fam!! Glad you made the choice you did as well … you sound happy and that’s the most important part … 🤗🛸🎶🦋

[@pawel3241]

It depends how its tuned. I have also seen the very reverse. It all matters on the drum.

[@thathandpanlady4510]

In reverse? I suppose you’re right to a degree … I’ve definitely seen a few stainless steel pans that were a bit dull and did not have a long sustain (not what I’d consider quality pans, especially for what I do) and I actually play two nitrided pans that ring longer than most …. So you are correct; although the norm is accurate as stated, it absolutely depends on the handpan and more importantly, who the builder is ….. A bad builder, no matter what, is not going to make a quality pan…. Stainless or nitrided …Which, is another reason its good … if at all possible … for people to go with reputable builders … plus they then have the ability for easy retuning if ever needed…. 🛸🎶 … 🤗🦋

[@authoronestopinc.4917]

I love the percussive sound of nitrided

[@thathandpanlady4510]

Oh wow! Haven’t seen this video in a while! Thanks for popping in and watching! And yes …. I agree with you … nitrided is great for percussion. I have 3 that are almost exclusively “drum circle pans”. Although I’m paid for meditative play, I love rockin’ out from time to time …. Like a lot!! 🤗…..🛸🎶….🦋

[@AuthorOneStop]

@@thathandpanlady4510 may I ask the 3 different makers for your percussive handpans and the tunings? I like the simple Celtic Dm.

[@DoranMitchell_Handpan]

Getting drawn into the pan life has been a wonderful thing for both my wife & myself. No doubt this will be a lifetime journey. I can't believe everyone isn't playing handpans.

[@thathandpanlady4510]

😁😄😆….Truer words have never been spoken! This journey has changed my life in ways I never imagined could .. or would … happen. My daughter thinks I’m coming full circle as a hippie… And you know what? I’m ok with that ….lol…🤗🛸🎶🦋

[@DoranMitchell_Handpan]

@@thathandpanlady4510 LOL Right! My Kids always said I'm stuck in the 60s.

me myself I'm looking into a tongue drum, same style of instrument but a different sound

[@thathandpanlady4510]

@@LuCkiiEsZz … Hi! Just found this! I never got a notification. Did you get your tongue drum yet? I’ve got 7 of them, but the best ones are my Woody Tri-Tones from Kosmosky. if you haven’t purchased one yet, be sure to check those out! 🤗🛸🎶🦋

Awesome video, handpan lady!u r right! I have both nitrated and stainless. Nitrated to rock on and stainless for my sound/vibration healing.

Sounds awesome, can you please list the name or musical note and the brands of these handpans ❤

[@thathandpanlady4510]

These are both Axiom Handpans, made by Jacob Lee and they are both C# Celtic Minor handpans … one is nitrided steel and the other is stainless steel.

😌🙏🏻 .. My pleasure!! Glad you found it helpful!! 🛸🎶🦋

[@isaaca6445]

I think nitrided sounds 'cleaner'.

[@thathandpanlady4510]

They both have their own sounds, that’s for sure …. And a time and place …… Nitrided definitely works better for those quick, clear sounds during faster play (ie…in my world, the drum circles), but stainless works better for slow meditative play because of the long sustain…..☺️🛸🎶🦋

[@CultureTripGuide-HilmarHWerner]

thanx. but could you add another video with a longer fast example on stainless? I didn't find the short one you gave so unpleasant...

[@thathandpanlady4510]

Actually, I play the stainless Axiom C# Celtic in a LOT of my videos, so just as an fyi, there’s several longer videos of the stainless sound on my pages … not only here but on Facebook, Instagram and TikTok (all under the same That Handpan Lady moniker). Thanks for popping in to watch … much appreciated!! 🙏🏻…..😌🛸🎶🦋

[@anne-mariemcinnis9143]

May I please get ideas of the average prices for the stainless steal?

[@thathandpanlady4510]

For a quality handpan from a reputable builder, with the basic 9 notes you’re looking at spending around $1,100 to $1,200 … the price increases with the number of notes. You will find cheaper models being sold on EBay, Craig’s list, Amazon etc, but most of those are sub quality pans from overseas that have been sitting in shipping containers for some time and for multiple reasons, I would advise you to stay away from those. You might want to look at the Acolyte series from Nirvana Handpans for a quality beginner pan. That was my first pan and I loved it .. it opened up a whole new world to me. These are life changing instruments!!! 🤗🛸🎶🦋

[@Erginartesia]

I am also ‘going zen’ as part of my retiring new me… I was worried that it would be hard on older hands. Can you say a view enlightening words on that?

[@thathandpanlady4510]

If the pan is positioned correctly and you’re playing “zen” type music, it’ll be no problem at all. It’s been several years now and I play morning to night … with older hands … and it’s not been a problem. You’ll be fine …🛸🎶🦋

Where did you get the nitrided handpan?

It’s an Axiom, made by Jacob Lee … who is in fact still making nitrided pans as well as those built with other materials. I’ve two Axioms … they’re superb pans!! By the way, thanks for visiting the channel!! Much appreciated!! 🤗🛸🎶🦋

[@Stuit3rb4l]

Nitrided: 3s; Stainless: 4s... Longer reverberation is not necessarily better, especially when you play faster you want a shorter reverb!
