The central keynote of handpans is in the middle, surrounded by a circular choir of sound fields. The individual playing surfaces are under pressure and are tuned by hand to 440 Hz. If the sound fields are now struck briefly with a finger, the entire handpan is made to vibrate and a linear, spherical tone with singing sustain is produced. A special feature of this handpan are the bottom notes on the underside. They expand the playing possibilities enormously and offer the player completely new possibilities.

The technique of playing a handpan is comparatively simple to learn: the playing surface is struck briefly with the fingertip, the faster the hand is then pulled away, the more beautiful the sound produced. Our product specialist Christian aka "Mister Handpan" shows further steps for learning to play the handpan in his tutorials on the MUSIC STORE Youtube Channel.

A key feature is the innovative sustain control function. This makes it possible to adjust the sustain individually between "mellow" and "bright" and thus fine-tune the tone of the instrument.
At a more affordable price than most handpans its good for those with lower budgets and interested beginners however the quality is excellent so shouldn't put off professional players either. Comes with a good bag, one review mentioned the shoulder straps were too short to wear as a rucksack however I found it fits fine and at 6" reckon it would fit most people fine. Overall a great product.
As a person who has played percussion foe 32 years this is a beautiful made instrument with very hipnotic sounds, once you start playing either tunes or rtythms you, ll never want to put it down.
The sound and tone is excellent, very easy to pick up and play quickly without prior experience.
I picked it up very quickly, looks beautiful also. The only knock is the back pack carry case it comes with, the back straps are not long enough to be at all useable, you can't actually use it and have to hold the handle to carry it. Apart from that, all excellent, there were a few slight marks to the finish, but overal that makes no difference to the tone
