With  Authentic Handpan, you don't have to compromise on price, sound, and material quality. With its 10 tone fields and a d Minor scale, it is ideal for beginners. The handpan comes in a silver/gold finish. Its central bass note (ding) is tuned to D3. And around it in the chorus are the tones A3, C4, E4, G4, C5, A4, F4,D4, Bb3 (As3). What material is the handpan made of? In this price range, you typically find only handpans made from nitrided steel, which has a 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. Plus, the thickness of the steel is 1.2 mm. How is our handpan made? First, two mechanically pre-shaped half-shells in the shape of a wok are firmly connected. Then the tone fields are hammered into the material with experienced tools in precise artisan processing. Once the "rough structure" is in place, individual tones are tuned.  To protect the hand pan safely, there is a protective ring of robust rubber around it on which there is a decorative jute rope. Who is Handpan Authentic designed for? We recommend Handpan Authentic for beginners. Here you get an easy-to-play musical instrument on a 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 those who like to play intuitively and don't want to struggle with a certain sequence of notes or dissonant tones. You can enjoy the long resonance in a relaxed and meditative manner. And those who like to take their hand pan to sit in the park or by the campfire, may not want to carry an instrument worth several thousand EUR. Handpan Authentic is ideal for this purpose because it not only sounds really good, but it 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 that you handle the handpan very carefully. In addition, it won't hurt if you clean the surface every now and then with a soft cloth or treat it gently with a bit of 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 sets Handpan Authentic apart from other handpans in this price range?
