With the Authentic Handpan, you do not have to compromise on price, sound, and quality of materials. With its 9 tone fields and tuning of 432 Hz and D Kurd scale, it is ideal for beginners. The central bass note (ding) is tuned to D3. And around it in the chorus are tones A3, B♭3, C4, D4, E4, F4, G4, A4 What material is the handpan made of? Usually in this price range you will only find handpans made of nitrided steel, which have a shorter resonance than the stainless steel used in our handpan. We didn't want to save money at the "wrong" place and compromise on sound quality. Moreover, the thickness of the steel is 1.2 mm. How is our handpan made? First, two mechanically pre-shaped semi-shells in the shape of a wok are firmly joined. Then the tone fields are hammered into the material with experienced tools in precise craftsmanship. Once the "rough structure" is in place, individual tones are fine-tuned. To protect the hand pan safely, it is surrounded by a protective ring made of robust rubber on which there is a decorative jute rope. Who is Handpan Authentic intended for? We recommend Handpan Authentic for beginners. Here you get an easy-to-play musical instrument in a scale or tuning that is ideal for beginners with an excellent price-performance ratio. The D Kurd tuning is the most popular handpan tuning and is attractive not only for handpan novices 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. You can enjoy the long reverberation relaxed and meditative. And those who like to take the hand pan for a sit-in in the park or by the campfire may not want to have an instrument worth several thousand EUR with them. Handpan Authentic is ideal for this purpose because it not only sounds really good but is also robustly built and stainless. Handling and care of handpan Even though a padded bag is part of the delivery, as with other musical instruments, we recommend that you handle the instrument very carefully. In addition, it does not hurt if you clean the surface every now and then with a soft cloth or carefully treat it with a little cleaning agent, which you can find in our offer. And the rubber ring appreciates occasional spraying with rubber care (e.g., silicone oil). What sets Handpan Authentic apart from other handpans in this price category?
