Stainless steel handpan from Fame with 22" diameter.
The Fame Handpan Five C-Lake is a hand-tuned handpan made of stainless steel in Aztec Gold finish in the tuning C-Major diatonic. A dream of many children and educators is now a reality. The diatonic C major scale makes it easy to play a wide variety of songs and tunes - with the incomparable typical handpan sound. A perfect complement to kalimba, ukulele, recorder, glockenspiel and co.
It has nine tones and produces a balanced and powerful sound in 440 Hz. The Fame Handpan is played with the fingers by striking the differently-tuned playing surfaces. The diameter of the handpan is 22" (54 cm), allowing it to be played comfortably on the lap. The C major of the Fame Handpan comes with the following notes: G3/ C4, D4, E4, F4, G4, A4, H4, C5. The meditative, soothing tone can be used for therapy purposes as well as meditation. The professional Fame Handpan Bag PRO backpack bag is included.
Fame handpan with nine tones
Handpan Five from Fame in 440 Hz
The central keynote of Handpans is in the middle, surrounded by a chorus of sound fields. The individual playing surfaces are under compressive stress, these are tuned in elaborate handwork in 440 Hz. If the sound fields are now briefly struck with the finger, the entire handpan is set in vibration and a linear, spherical tone with singing sustain is produced.
Detailed quality check by our handpan expert
Like all Fame Handpans, each Handpan Five is checked for workmanship and sound quality before delivery, and finally given our seal of quality. As these are instruments with a high percentage of handwork, slight color deviations compared to the product image are possible.
The technique to play 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 resulting sound. Further steps to learn how to play the handpan are shown by our product specialist Christian aka "Mister Handpan" in his tutorials on the MUSIC STORE Youtube Channel.
Fame Generation III Handpans: Perfect sound with many features
Fame's Generation III Hand pans feature upgrades that are probably unique in this price range: the Handpans are made of a high-quality stainless steel shell, which is decorated with a stylized logo and the model name on the underside. This not only ensures exceptional durability but also gives the instrument a distinctive look.
A key feature that distinguishes this Generation handpan is the innovative sustain control function. This allows you to individually adjust the sustain between "mellow" and "bright" to fine-tune the tone of the instrument. The premium gloss Aztec Goldfinish gives each model an elegant look. With a choice of five different models available in four different tunings, the Generation III offers unprecedented variety and flexibility, allowing you to choose an instrument that perfectly suits your individual musical needs and preferences. This Generation of handpans focuses on the combination of sound aesthetics, durability and playing comfort.
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.

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
