With Authentic Handpan, you don't have to compromise on price, sound, and material quality. This handpan, with its 9 tone fields and d Minor scale, is perfect for beginners. The central bass note (ding) is tuned to D3. And the chorus around it has the tones A3, C4, E4, G4, A4, F4,D4, Bb3 (As3). What material is the handpan made of? Normally in this price category you will only find handpans made of nitrided steel, which have a shorter resonance than the stainless steel used in our handpan. We did not want to save money in the "wrong" place and compromise on sound quality. In addition, the steel thickness is 1.2 mm. How is our handpan made? Firstly, 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, individual tones are tuned. To protect the hand pan, it is surrounded by a protective ring of sturdy rubber on which is an ornamental jute rope. Who is the 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.  The d minor tuning is the most popular tuning for hand pans and is not only attractive for handpan novices but also for everyone who likes to play intuitively and does not want to struggle with a certain sequence of notes or dissonant tones. You can enjoy the long reverberation in a relaxed and meditative manner. And those who like to take their handpan to hang out in the park or by the campfire may not want to have an instrument worth several thousand EUR with them. The Handpan Authentic is ideally suited for this purpose, because not only does it sound 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 handling the handpan very carefully. In addition, it does not hurt if you occasionally clean the surface with a soft cloth or gently treat it with a little cleaning agent, which you can find in our range. 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 category?
