Comparison- Rav Moon, Vast and Handpan D Celtic- Which do you like better?

[@Bessie_Mae]

This is exactly what I needed!! Thank you 🙏🏼

[@mothersgauri4137]

This is a wonderful comparison. Thank you. I do think people make a mistake trying to say one is "better"....they are all amazing and unique in their own way. And playing them all together , one can certainly create some really wonderful compositions. I currently have a number of Vasts and handpans and am now looking into getting a moon. I love the ethereal sustain. Great possibilities.

[@ReWildYourSoul]

@@mothersgauri4137 I highly recommend the moons! One of my favorite innovations in the last few years!

[@InterExistence]

Love it. Thanks for the direct comparison. Crazy how different the Moon sounds from the full size Rav.

[@ReWildYourSoul]

It is REALLY wild how different they are. Revolutionary even

[@InterExistence]

@@ReWildYourSoul Definitely! I mean, it was clear they weren’t just a mini version of the full size Rav after listening to it for the first time. But your comparison definitely makes that all the more obvious. Really interesting what they did.

[@Remosssep]

lovely to hear all the same scales after eachother, have a lovely day man 🌞🌞🙏🙏

[@ReWildYourSoul]

When I am finally able to “open them all” I will be doing a result thorough review of all these thing!

[@roberts2931]

Thanks for this comparison as I'm getting ready to take my first venture in to a RAV. I'm currently watching as many of your uploads (as well as others) to get a sense of the instruments and what the players in the community are advising. I would like to chime in on what you spoke about concerning sustain in the RAV Moon. As someone who plays Native American flute, each and every instrument is different and unique. I have various flutes and they want to be handled different. Some take a gentle breath while others sing with strong breaths. Adapting to the individual instrument is key. I look forward to more of your comparison videos.

[@ReWildYourSoul]

Wholeheartedly agree! I have about 7 years of material to check out on them, so do look at the playlists for a bit more a concise look. I have been working with rav as a Sponsored artist for about 5 years, so have had a chance to play every scale! Lots of reviews on Ravs page and mine to check out. Best of luck my friend!

[@andrey.remyannikov]

Thanks for the straight comparison!! D key is the best for Moon model, but it is too high for Vast model. Vast is much deeper in lower keys.

[@ReWildYourSoul]

I agree completely my friend. But I love them all! Thanks for all you do!

[@jktolford8272]

Very good comparison. Answered some specific questions I had after starting to peruse the Rav site (I'll go back). I really like the the sound of the Moon.

[@ReWildYourSoul]

So glad to hear that my friend!

[@justherpaeste1115]

Love every note.

[@ReWildYourSoul]

@@justherpaeste1115 thanks my friend!

[@DarylRonaghan]

Hi there, thanks for the comparison but I have a different reply. I have four handpans and was considering getting a Rav Vast or Moon to join my group. I have a D Celtic handpan and watched this comparison to see how the Rav products compared to my most familiar handpan. I concluded that I need to listen to lots of other scales of Rav products before deciding. I am very interested in learning the Irish sounding piece you played however and wondered if you could direct me to a source where I could learn that. I would greatly appreciate that. Thanks for all your work.

[@VolokursHH]

Very interesting. The Moon might be good for slow meditative playing. Very dreamy soundscape. I like it very much. Thank you for comparing it with others.

[@kiltedpiper98]

Great comparison, thanks!

[@ReWildYourSoul]

Thanks for watching!

[@scottmusson]

Fantastic comparison and I'm very impressed with the sound of the Moon. Thanks so much for providing this helpful video. Any comment on how the moon sounds with chords or dyads? Didn't hear any cross talk either, very impressive for a smaller instrument.

[@ReWildYourSoul]

they are revolutionary! Diad section: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qHS6iGmeqd6Flc0si=D-Un9nguA4-RB0uR&t=262

[@scottmusson]

@@ReWildYourSoul really amazing

[@debra4854]

Thanks for the comparisons, Ricky! As you know, I play with mallets and I'd love to know how the moon sounds when using them. And...I'll be back for lessons when things settle here in CA.😊

[@ReWildYourSoul]

Would love to have you back on the lesson schedule! The moons are magic! Wishing you a great early summer. Ricky

[@The_Little_Red_Fox]

Hi Ricky, Which Rav would you recommend to someone completely new to the instrument? I am a piano player, but have no experience with either Handpan or tongue drum. I adore the sound of the Moon, but feel that I could develop a lot more technique using the Vast. I also have the option of purchasing a frog drum which is in stock within my country (Australia), whilst the Rav moon would need to be ordered. What’s your recommendation? I’d love some advice! Thank you 😊

[@InterExistence]

Also, great bird songs in the background!

[@ReWildYourSoul]

Thanks my friend!

[@k9hannibal]

Interesting. I have a D Kurd handpan and was thinking about doing a Rav. I’m totally new to playing and was hoping the moon would sound similar for friends to play along. These sound quite similar. It’s also smaller than my big ole handpan so it might be easier for me to learn to play???

[@ReWildYourSoul]

They are perfect for people who are not giants! I love the size. :)

[@owl-pan]

great comparison!

[@ReWildYourSoul]

Glad you enjoyed it! All great instruments here!

[@owl-pan]

​@@ReWildYourSoul Yes, three different instruments! And the new Rav is really a step indeed! Very good comparison! Thank you!

[@MariarosaMaloGavardi]

I love all of drums but i have in my mind, in my ear and also in my heart the little one: Moon Rav is amazing ❤ 🌑🌙🌒🌓🌔🌕🌖🌗🌘🌙🌚

[@oheysk]

Thank you for the direct comparison! It's so much easier to get a sense of what each type of drum does well when you can get the same scale side by side. Still biased to the Moon, though 😜

[@ReWildYourSoul]

😂🎉

[@jeanettebelz5800]

I just bought a d Pygmy moon and the person online helping me said they were not going to be selling moons anymore for a while. I know the Rav Vast is in G so I hope I can still find songs to play on the moon. It sound great online.

[@ReWildYourSoul]

@@jeanettebelz5800 they started selling them again! So we are good to go thankfully!

[@starpause]

Been playing sampled/digitized version of hand pans with finger drum toys/tools, found out moon exist now... fascinating!

[@ReWildYourSoul]

@@starpause they are super fun! Highly recommended

[@XanaxkvaMin]

What other scale RAV do you recommend to play with D Celtic minor?

[@fabienbernet4233]

i thinks to order soon in D celtique, i'm tabla player and play both will be good thanks for your vidéo

[@Leynad778]

I'm a tabla-player as well and got my Moon Celtic about a month ago. I love my two Vast as well, which I bought few weeks earlier, but the Moon fits me better because the tongues are closer together and hitting wrong note is less obvious than with the Vast. If I'm buying another tongue-drum in Vast-size, I will go with a YW Pulsar and 15 tongues. I already ordered one of Yudin's 'Tonedrum', slightly smaller than the Moon with 11 tongues and up to 17 if customizing it as a Pulsar Mini.

[@reubenrinaldi7091]

I need to get the moon

[@ReWildYourSoul]

They are amazing!

[@GenX4ever]

Wow. The sustain on the Moon is pretty sweet. I'd like to get one. Any key youd recommend?

[@ReWildYourSoul]

@@GenX4ever d integral, d Pygmy and ariumi are my 3 favorites right now!

[@IonCalm]

pleaseee, they need to make a rav moon with more (14-20) notes on it. it would be a huge deal!!

[@ReWildYourSoul]

Summited by their not mechanics but I agreed!

[@IonCalm]

@@ReWildYourSoul and don't get me wrong, the sustain is great. I can't help but think that one could just insert a small rubber stopper in between the tongue and it would shorten the sustain. it would be cheap and possibly the closest thing to a handpan that would never need tuning. cheers

[@globaldentalhealthcare4585]

The sustain on the Rav Vast Moon is like an echo...I found it pretty distracting..Thanks for the comparisons...I am definitely happy with my nitrided and ember steel handpans..

[@jeanettebelz5800]

I am thinking about this also. During playing it seems like the sustained harmonics were distracting and formed a sustained buzz. Probably just me. I haven't bought a Rav yet and have been listening to all the comparisons I can.

[@ReWildYourSoul]

@@jeanettebelz5800I disagree, I think it just needs to be approached in a different way. People complained about stainless steel when it first came out as well! Haha de gustat non est disputandem

[@Leynad778]

I love the sustain, but as a tabla player I'm also used to control it, means I can hit the tongues while keeping fingers or the palm on the surface.

[@kandrale1840]

the more sustain the better 😎

[@Leynad778]

@@kandrale1840 2 months later I understand why the sustain can be distracting. I think I got more sensible for some frequencies.

[@dougpowell597]

Hey Ricky. You recently posted a video about the RAV moon. I’ve been watching your videos for a long time, but apparently the RAV moon is not available in the US or Europe and cannot be shipped from Russia. What do you know about this situation? Thanks for all your videos

[@ReWildYourSoul]

@@dougpowell597 hey there! They are being sent from Serbia, not Russia. The next us shipment should clear customs next week!

[@strobaholic]

I wouldn’t mind seeing this in the hands of Calypso musicians from Trinidad, in place of a traditional steel drum.

[@ReWildYourSoul]

@@strobaholic that exists! I grew up in the West Indies and have friend back in area. Will look for a video for you.

[@strobaholic]

@ I’m from Saint Lucia, but I now live in New Jersey USA. I was a Caribbean band musician for Celebity Cruises I while back, but I’m just finding out about this instrument today! 😂

[@ReWildYourSoul]

@ that’s amazing! It’s a direct ancestor of the Steel Pan. You may find this documentary interesting

[@spasmind]

Moon is a very strange thing - lloks like rav vast, but sounds like multi-tone tank tongue drum, not so clear as rav vast. Orion or Eox drum sounds much better!

[@ReWildYourSoul]

Incorrect! I am sorry your ears are unable to hear! Enjoy your tank drums!

[@jeanettebelz5800]

I just bought a d Pygmy moon and the person online helping me said they were not going to be selling moons anymore for a while. I know the Rav Vast is in G so I hope I can still find songs to play on the moon. It sound great online.

[@ReWildYourSoul]

I offer online lessons! So would love to work together on them!
