With this beautiful silver Authentic Handpan, you don't have to compromise on price, sound, and material quality. This handpan, with its 9 tone fields and a tuning of 440 Hz in D Kurd scale, is ideal for beginners. The central bass note (ding) is tuned to D3. And in the chorus around it are the tones A3, B♭3, C4, D4, E4, F4, G4, A4. What material is the handpan made of? Commonly in this price range you will find only nitrided steel handpans which have shorter resonance than the stainless steel used in our handpan. We didn't want to save money in the "wrong" place and compromise on sound quality. And moreover, the thickness of the steel is 1.2 mm. How is our handpan made? Firstly, two mechanically pre-formed wok-shaped half shells are firmly joined. Then the tone fields are hammered into the material by experienced masters in precise craftsmanship. Once the "rough structure" is in place, the individual tones are tuned.  For safe protection of the handpan, there is a protective ring made of robust rubber around it with a decorative jute rope. Who is the Handpan Authentic designed for? We recommend Handpan Authentic for beginners. Here you get an easily playable musical instrument in scale or tuning that is ideal for beginners with excellent price-performance ratio.  D Kurd tuning is the most popular handpan tuning and is appealing not only for handpan newcomers but also for all those who like to play intuitively and don't want to struggle with a certain sequence of notes or dissonant tones. The long reverb can thus be enjoyed relaxed and meditative. And those who like to take their handpan to a picnic in the park or around a campfire, perhaps won't want to have an instrument worth several thousand EUR. Handpan Authentic is ideal for this purpose, because it not only sounds really good but is also robustly built and rust-proof. Handling and care of the handpan Despite the padded bag being part of the delivery, as with other musical instruments, we recommend handling the instrument very carefully. In addition, it doesn't hurt to clean the surface occasionally with a soft cloth or gently treat it with a little cleaning agent, which you will find in our range. And the rubber ring will appreciate occasional spraying with rubber care (e.g., silicone oil). What distinguishes Handpan Authentic from other handpans in this price category?
