This is probably the most mind blowing instrument I have ever seen, or heard. I can't get enough. Thank you for sharing!

I love the sound so much that I have decided I want to learn to play it...

[@heinosjunge2598]

Nettes Video, dass aber leider beweist, dass das Free Integral PanArt Hang das mit Abstand am besten klingende Klangwunder ist. kein anderes ertönt so brilliant und klar in einer eigenen Liga orbitaler Klangerzeugung. Es ärgert mich tierisch, dass PanArt so ein okkulten Verkauf draus macht und so nur Auserwählten die Möglichkeit schenkt sich mit diesem wunderbaren Klangwunder auszudrücken. Seit 2 Jahren trauer ich diesem Teil hinterher und bin bei allem Verständnis für die Schweiter Manufraktur zunehmend gefrustet. Die Spacedrum Custom ist für mich auf dem 2. Platz. Das Teil klingt in der Tat einzigartig und ist kein Versuch das PanArt zu kopieren. Alle anderen Drums klingen eben zu sehr nach Drum und das ist das, was "Das Hang" eben nicht ausmacht.

[@Btraain]

I feel you

[@Azgaroth686]

there are more and more good makers nowadays and it's starting to be quite easier to get a handpan in respect of the past. Just search on the web, facebook is a good place, contact directly the makers, avoid resellers, listen to handpans and learn the differences between a pan and a can, since it's also easy to buy bad instruments because of the hype.

[@Azgaroth686]

try with sohung, I think they have short waiting time and are quite good pans. I suggest also great makers, but they have their list closed at the moment: Meraki, Ayasa, Aciel, Jan Borren, Koan, Echosound Sculptures.

I will never by a pantheon steel. Especially when a friend of mine told he he bought a first gen Hang Drum directly from the makers at a flute festival in the U.S. about ten years about for around $350. That's a far cry from what they are trying to sell them for today, isn't it? I'll be very happy with a couple of smaller, hand drums, Hapi Drums, or Moyo Drums.

[@christopherlavs1698]

Just a question, I'm very interested in these instruments, but my main concern is 1.) They're so expensive, how do I know which one to get for the price I'm paying, 2.) Is there anywhere I could experience the drum to know if it's even worth me buying, and 3.) Where would I even get one, PANArt doesn't sell them anymore and it's such a mysterious instrument.

[@ThisIsMaiAccount]

+Christopher “Chris” James Sorry I can't answer your first two questions; I know there are slightly different "handpans" online from different sellers, some at a slightly lower price. I think there are a few sellers on etsy and youtube.

[@donkeytwoddle]

+Christopher “Chris” James It is the type of instrument that in my mind due to the cost, rarity, maintenance and difficulty acquiring it the hang should just be sought if you are truly enchanted by the instrument. There are accessible alternatives that are more obtainable and if you are unsure of if you would even like to play they are probably a better place to start than with a search for one from PanArt.

[@bubbanderson]

+Christopher “Chris” James I saw David playing these with Dead Can Dance in London and was stunned by the sound. The PanArt ones are no longer available which is going to ramp up prices of 2nd hand ones ... they simply decided to focus on making a different instrument. There's an affordable electronic alternative coming onto the market mid 2016 in the shape of the Oval which is currently on Kickstarter. OK so it plays samples or acts as a MIDI controller and isn't as pretty as the real thing but looks like a fun thing to get started on for a fraction of the price. Looking forward to getting mine.

[@christopherlavs1698]

bubbanderson Thanks for the idea, I'll check it out.

[@nadishana]

PS: I was surprised in a good way by 1st hang (clarity of sound and brightness of overtones), integral hang (low subtone), 2nd innersound (very freaky metal penetrating harmonics, could imagine at as a part of some "gamelan-like" composition with many instruments. Love the shoes at 12:25 ))

25:40 ohh haven't heard a pan like that before, very nice

[@KarlBonner1982]

Handpans seem to use a lot of "plagal modes" in their scale range (i.e. 5th to 5th instead of tonic to tonic). So the integral scale is 5 b6 b7 1 2 3 5, with the root note in the middle of the range.

[@ericsmith4908]

[@iraklimerkvilishvili1268]

[@annafontz4502]

Irakli Merkvilishvili I saw one on Ebay just now with a starting bid at $4,500. It's not easy to get your hands on one of these.. the original creators of this instrument reside in Switzerland and only manufacture a small number per year.

[@gozer9556]

True-that Eliza, I have wanted one of these for a long time. I'd love to get a PANart, which is the original from Switzerland as Anna mentioned. Pantheon Steel company makes them now too, you can get one from them for around 1,200.00, but the waiting list is like at least a year because the demand is so high. I think I am just going to make one of my own (maybe if I get good at making them, I can quit my day job haha, certainly a known demand for these instruments)

[@yelloresonantwarrior]

Just a side note: At 1:37 it says Aeolian: A - D E F G A Bb C D. While this is correct when the root is D, with A being the lowest note it sounds more like A phrygian (A Bb C D E F G) to me.

well you sound like quite the entrepreneur, go on and do it. I'll buy one from you, there, you already have your first client...

[@MadNumForce]

True. The basic shape could be stamped easily, and a self-taught AI machine could then tune each one with as much precision as a skilled human. It could then be industrially churned out like tin whistles.

[@Zamerus]

I know this is a 5 year old comment but. There is an appeal to hand crafted instruments that actually have time put into them to make them sound good and look good. I would rather own an instrument crafted by another persons hands over something mass produced by a machine that was literally made alongside several items made the exact same moment.

[@uellue]

Not an expert on this instrument, but I'd be surprised if they could be mass-produced in perfect tuning. The coarse shape surely, but there are too many sources of variation that would skew the tuning. Changes in raw material (thickness, composition, heat treatment) will have a lot of impact on the final shape and internal stresses. Changes in the manufacturing process, for example introduced by temperature changes or wear of the tools or slight differences in heat treatment (temperature distribution, gas flows, timing) can do the same. The list goes on. This is an incredibly complex instrument. You can hear how many vibration modes this shape has and how complex their interaction and coupling is. Subtle changes will have a tremendous impact on the sound. Making and tuning such an amazing piece of metal is an art and beyond my comprehension. Each one will be a unique work of art.

Hi David, greetings from India. I am new to this wonderful Instrument and following your tutorials 😊 may I know how you compare SPB with SunPan 🤔 kindly reply.

[@robjohnsonmusicandgaming]

To the foolish people saying that these could be mass produced, you probably don't understand why some guitars cost 10 times as much as others. It is not because they are overpriced or rare. It is because musical instruments have to be resonant in extremely precise ways, and must be tuned exactly on pitch or will sound terrible and will not resonate. If any part of the instrument is not perfect, it will create dissonant overtones or even distortion which will make the overall sound dull, muddy, and unappealing in general. Handcrafted musical instruments are handcrafted for a reason, and their price reflects that. Some instruments can get away with being cheaply made without detracting from the sound too much, but this is absolutely not one of them. Sound waves don't just beam out of these instruments, the entire thing is vibrating at in an extremely precise and specific way. Even the slightest imperfection will disrupt that.

[@funbirdroutard6702]

has every hang instrument its own tuning (scale or more scales at) or not? how this instr. works, David? One could play rythm and melody of a piece/song? or only melodic rythms?

Hi David very nice video to see the diference in this beautifull instruments! and very nice play my friend! you could show the GU side of the handpans! and the diferent tunnings! just a suggestion =) and miss a Disco Armónico and a Bali Steel Pan! many thanks for the video my friend!

David I have my one since 2008 I didn't had the feeling I had to tune it. It never felt down and was never played to hard. What do you know about heat exposure to often, can it change the tuning in long term! I really love the way you play and educate us about music you are a great teacher!

[@hamsahandpans4292]

iven simonetti I would say if it hasn't been tuned since 2008 it is in need for sure! They probably need to be retuned every 1-2 years to sound best, depending on how much it's played.

WUIIIIII, maybe it has it's own tuning now and even went back to it :) it still sounds good thou I THINK,.......

[@hamsahandpans4292]

Would be very curious to see a video! :)

+David Kuckhermann Where can I acquire a hang drum?

[@Letitor97]

+Kumar Thangudu It is no longer an instrument for sale, but you can't check for a space drum, i use this and it's pretty close of the hang, it makes wonderful sounds exept the beautiful central key of the hang that is replaced by a low and deep key on the space drum

[@ManaSteel]

did anyone notice the monster shoes at 12:35? lol

[@zoeblessing]

I saw those too, that was hilarious!

[@knetzer]

@Vip Panart doesnt produce anymore, panthelon steel works with a lottery system cuz the have to much demands. Bellart doesnt take anymore orders. so eighter you go for innersound or spacedrum but those are not realy hangdrums.

Hay Guys, I saw this instrument in the streets of Spain and than in Berlin and i knew i wanna play this instrument and give this magic to others. I did a lot of researches and found out that the hang from PanArts is not longer available and on ebay i just can find the Handpan made in Trinidad and Tobago. And I wonder if there are other sources i can finde one and maybe some one of u can give me a hint. My girlfriend and i started yesterday our project to ask 1000 people for 1€ to have the possebility to buy it. We decided that this is a nice way to collect the money for an instrument like this because it directly connects us to the people. Thanks for answers Mütze

Hello, I am interested in learning to play this instrument. Can you please suggest some brands/models which are suitable for beginners.

[@Explore-Discover]

Is that you playing David? If I may ask, how do you compose melodies on this instrument, i.e do you compose the melody on a piano and then play it on this? How long does it take to learn to play this beautiful instrument? Where can I buy this in North America? Thanks.

[@pelaexful]

The cheaper one I've found, in China, it's about 500$. How could it sound?

[@johnmeyer2019]

I hope you have lots of cash..you will need a least four to play songs in the popular keys.......great sound !!!!!

[@Vegan_Kebab_In_My_Hand]

These are mostly used in ethnic, psychedelic, downtempo and ambient genres, but you still need to buy more if you want to use them a lot, yeah. Wish I could have one. You can make similar ones from gas canisters by yourself, but it's a tad different instrument then, different resonance and perhaps it doesn't sound as rich.

[@Hosein5345]

sorry but still i didn't find the difference between hang drum and handpan... which one is hang and which one is hand... and i assume more than 2 instruments are there... thanks

[@roan6903]

Hi, I've saved enough money to buy a Space Drum which comes in a lot of different scales. Do you have any suggestion about how to choose the optimal/ideal drum? This will be my first drum ever, so I value this very much. Thank you!!!

[@Rodrek89]

hey guys! I'm a student and I don't have thousands euros to spend in ebay for a PANart hang. Can you suggest me a good handpan around 1000 euros? What do you guys think about balisteelpan? What pan would you buy? SPB seems very good aswell!

[@danielgutierrez2683]

You're welcome for at least one million of the views btw ;) Can't stop, won't stop listening!

[@AnInnocentBabyPanda]

Which of these costs the least and is easiest to get in the USA? Because like half of them are only available if you can travel directly to the country that they're made in and pick it up yourself.

[@Trancetanz]

Can you recommend someone for tuning Hang 1 Gen Aeolian A in Germany. Mine is beautiful, but would be interested in getting it retuned after 12 years or so. Great video, answers so many questions.

[@elywood3075]

Your skills on this gorgeous instrument has brought me to tears. Thanks for your upload

[@AS-yc3yy]

[@mariacarolina2237]
