This video made me realize how damn lucky I was. I got a used one from a musician near me for $300 that had 9 notes. The resonation definitely lasts for at least 5 seconds on a regular hit and the notes are tuned very well except for 1 which I still make work. He sold it cause he only needed it for a single gig. Very grateful. I wanted one for 3 years and told myself I'd only buy if I can play it before buying

I'm thinking, though, if I could have something ... harder rubber ... on my fingers (because I want to play with my hands, not the mallets). See if that helps. I may try o rings. Mine's a bit sharp, but it IS in tune with itself (everything is a little sharp, about the same amount). It does "chord", but since especially with my left hand it's iffy whether I get a good clean strike -- meh. I do better using by thumbs as malletts. So ... yeah, sounds like I need to spend at least $1200 ... something I'm kind of unwilling to do on something so new to me (my most expensive guitar cost half this much, and it sounds great AND I am at least familiar with guitar. I'm NOT a percussionist) I had done a LITTLE research ... enough to know that I'd be unhappy with anything smaller than 18", but I kinda wish I'd seen this video first. That said, I have it, and I'm going to play with it and get the best sound out of it I can. And if I get the "hang" of it, MAYBE I'll save my pennies for a better one.

They are made by hand, from a flat sheet of metal. Everything is made by hand, that's why the cost, it's the labor that makes it so expensive. Plus the tuning is done by hand with small hammers. Everything must be tuned, the note plus the harmonic around it. I don't know how much time they take to build one but I would think maybe a week? to properly tune it. This one obviously took like a few hours, maybe a day? That's why a good quality handpan can cost 3000$, because a lot of time is spent in tuning it to perfection.

I feel that something like this would be hard to purchase because there seems to a "set price" to what they cost regardless of how they're made. It would be hard to know for sure which one was handmade and which wasn't.

@@chrislaws4785 Actually it would be very easy to spot which ones are machine-made and which ones are quality instruments. I doubt that even machine-made could be made using a machine only. I don't think a machine can tune these properly. Could work but it would probably be out of tune for some notes. Even on the cheap 600$ ones, you can see all these tiny hammer hits, dings, and bumps that tune the note field and harmonics. Those from China don't have all these harmonics, there is less time spent to fine-tune them. Most people won't notice this too much, even out-of-tune notes, so they can buy a cheaper one and learn on it I guess.

@@daniellazylen5350 That makes sense then. But, if someone understood or had a good ear for notes, couldn't they simply buy a cheaper one and tune it themselves with little more then a few differently sized hammers? I mean a little elbow grease and effort to tune a cheaper one yourself definitely sounds better then throwing down $600 plus on one that's already tuned for you. Lol.

@@chrislaws4785 A little elbow grease? do you know how hard it is to tune these? you could totally ruin it and make it worse. You don't tune it with your ear, you tune it with a tuner, it's the only way to know for sure it's in tune, plus you have to tune the harmonics around the note. Cheap handpans don't have harmonics much. I bought a 1200$ one and it still does not have all the harmonics and some of the notes are not stable, so when I hit it a little too hard with my hands, I hear a ''boing'' sound. Well-made handpan have thicker metal and you can hit them a bit harder without hearing the note distort. I bought a Amahi handpan, made in China. supposed to be highend for china made but I can see the flaws.
