Is there a good way to carry these around? Do they come in backpacks or how do you transport them around?

[@altonito777]

Mine was bout to someone who sold it with the case. You have hard case or soft case, its like a backpack that has the right fit for the handpan

Hey david, another question. I am working on isolation now and was wondering, are both of my hands supposed to be able to go at different speeds? Like when i do it i cant move my left hand any faster or slower without the constant rhythm changing with it.

[@DavidUrbanHandpan]

If I understand you correctly, then that's exactly the challenge with isolation. You do quarter notes with your right hand, but only half notes or triplets with your other hand. One hand is the rhythm section, the other is the melody.

[@DavidUrbanHandpan]

so yes, you should be able to keep the same tempo with your rhythm hand, while playing a totally independent speed/melody with the other.

[@user-hn5mw7nq8h]

Its a challenge. Im trying to learn it on both hands

[@DavidUrbanHandpan]

that is a challenge indeed, it took me several years to get good with both hands. To be honest, you can progress a lot of if you can use your dominant hand for your rhythm hand (like I do mostly). So I would recommend to get to an enjoyable level with 1 hand first.

David Urban will do, thanks for your help
