Authentic Handpan allows you to make no compromises regarding price, sound, and quality of materials. It features 9 tone fields and a G Kurd scale, making it ideal for beginners. The central bass note (ding) is tuned to G3, surrounded by tones  A4, F4, D4, DIS (Eb4), G4, A#4  (bB4), D5 What material was used to manufacture the handpan? Mostly in this price range, you will find handpans made of nitrided steel, which have a shorter resonance than a handpan made of stainless steel like ours. We were not allowed to compromise on sound quality. Moreover, the steel thickness is 1.2 mm. What is the manufacturing process of our handpan? Above all, two mechanically shaped halves in the shape of a wok are firmly connected. Then, in a precise artisan process, tone fields are pressed into the material. After creating the "rough structure", individual tones are tuned. The handpan is protected by a robust rubber ring with a decorative jute rope. For whom is the Handpan Authentic potential? We recommend Authentic Handpan for beginners. This easily playable musical instrument is available in a scale or tuning that is also optimal for beginners, with quality corresponding to the price. The G Kurd tuning is popular not only among handpan novices but also among all those who enjoy intuitive play and do not want to stress about a certain sequence of notes or dissonant tones. This way you can enjoy long resonance more freely and meditatively. Those who enrich their picnic in the park or campfire with music may not want to risk an instrument worth thousands of euros. Authentic Handpan is ideal for such a purpose, as it not only has an excellent sound but is also robust and rust-free. How to take care of the handpan and how to handle it Although a padded bag is included in the delivery, as with any musical instrument, we recommend handling the handpan with great care. Cleaning its surface with a soft cloth and occasional treatment with a cleaning agent, which you can find in our range, will not harm either. Occasional spraying of the rubber ring, for example with silicone oil, will only benefit the rubber. What weighs more on Authentic Handpan than on other handpans in this price category?
