With  Authentic Handpan, you don't have to compromise on price, sound, and material quality. With its 10 tone fields and d Minor scale, it is ideal for beginners. The central bass note (ding) is tuned to D3. And in the chorus around it are tones A3, C4, E4, G4, C5, A4, F4, D4, Bb3 (As3). What material is the handpan made of? In this price range, you will usually only find handpans made of nitrided steel, which has a shorter resonance than the stainless steel used in our handpan. We did not want to save money at the "wrong" place and make compromises on sound quality. Furthermore, the steel thickness is 1.2 mm. How is our handpan made? First, two mechanically pre-formed half-shells in the shape of a wok are firmly joined. Then the tone fields are hammered into the material by experienced tools in precise craftsmanship. Once the "rough structure" is in place, the individual tones are tuned. To protect the hand pan safely, it is surrounded by a protective ring of robust rubber on which is a decorative jute rope. Who is Handpan Authentic intended 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 an excellent price-performance ratio.  D minor tuning is the most popular tuning of handpans and is attractive not only for handpan novices but also for all those who like to play intuitively and do not want to struggle with a certain sequence of notes or dissonant tones. You can enjoy the long reverberation relaxed and meditatively. And those who like to take the hand pan for a sit in the park or by the campfire may not want to have an instrument worth several thousand EUR with them. Handpan Authentic is ideally suited for this purpose, because it not only sounds really good, but is also robustly built and rustproof. Handling and care of the handpan Even though a padded bag is included in the delivery, as with other musical instruments, we recommend handling the handpan very carefully. It won't hurt if you clean the surface every now and then with a soft cloth or treat it gently with a little cleaning agent that you can find in our offer. 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?
