Handpan Drum for Beginners, 22 Inch D Minor Kurd 9 Notes - 440Hz Hand Drum Set for Music Therapy, Meditation & Outdoor Performances (Black)

I purchased this handpan with low expectations. Having played music for over 40 years, my ears are quite trained, and I anticipated being disappointed. I initially bought it to see if I would actually use it, with plans to return it and spend over $3,000 on a higher-quality instrument if needed.To my surprise, I checked the pitch with a professional piano tuner and found all the notes to be spot on. The quality is very good; in fact, I couldn't find any flaws, such as scratches.The harmonics of this handpan are impressive. While the $3,000+ handpans may have better-organized harmonics, this instrument performs well. I watched several YouTube videos comparing this handpan to those that cost thousands of dollars. With my eyes closed, the sound was surprisingly close, and the difference was not significant enough to justify spending 25 times more.There are small hammer marks on the instrument's surface, similar to those found on expensive handpans. This suggests that each piece was not just mass-produced but carefully reviewed and fine-tuned, much like the pricier options.The case that comes with it is of high quality, and I highly recommend this handpan. I’ve decided to keep it and not pursue a more expensive instrument. While I can afford it, I don't see the point in spending extra.If you purchase this handpan, you definitely won't be disappointed.

This hand pan works really great. It has a good tone and for its price it’s worthy and valuable. I have tried each notes on it with another help of an app (sound corset) to see if it’s tunable or not AND IT WAS. Even the golden color looks classic and beautiful. The case itself is good for carrying on. Tysm

Initial issues (because that's why you really read reviews). The handpan arrived quickly but the box was in poor condition and clearly opened before I received it. Interior package with sticks and cleaning cloth was also torn open so I suspect it was a returned item. The finish on the bottom (and to a lesser extent the top) was very uneven and damaged due being in contact with the cheap Chinese styrofoam. I tried cleaning gently but it didn't change. Also the styrofoam disintegrated on the edge of the pan and had to be scraped away. (See photos)Otherwise, the pan seems to be in tune (which was my first concern when I saw the condition of packaging and that it appears to have been returned in the past). The sound is clean for the most part with a slight bit of chatter in the highest note (#8) because it takes a pretty good pop to get it to sound. The durability of the tuning is to be seen and I'll try to update later if I remember.Overall though, knowing the cost of a great handpan can easily exceed 4 times the cost of this instrument, I'd say it's well worth the price. Even with the relatively minor cosmetic issues I'm still pleased with it overall.I don't recall if the listing said it, but the pan did arrive with a soft, padded carrying case and a stand.Take the time to buy one available through Prime so that it's easily returnable as I understand that arriving out of tune is not entirely uncommon.Lastly, I purchased this as an initial attempt to see if the instrument was something I would enjoy. I had no misconception that I'd be performing with this pan and feel it's an excellent pricepoint knowing that a more costly upgrade would possibly come later.

Beautiful sound and very High quality especially for an introduction to this instrument.

I suppose it is good depending on what you are looking for. After lots and lots of research on handpans between handmade and mass produced - there's a huge difference.It came well packaged and even a day earlier than expected! The case is very nice and it was beautiful with no problems cosmetically. There are two notes that ring out off tune. After 2 days of trying to figure out if it was me or the pan, I definitely concluded the 2 notes are out of tune. In the handpan world, this is definitely reasonable for a very new beginner. However, I was able to find a RAV Vast tongue pan in really good condition for approximately the same price. Which is why I am choosing to return it. The quality in the RAV is superior and will never need to be tuned. I fear this will need to be tuned often and will add up in cost very quickly. I'm also not sure if I will be able to find somebody to do it properly. I will be saving up for a higher quality handpan in the future but there is a reason why these are not necessarily up to the standards for the lower cost. This wasn't terrible sounding, it was actually quite fun and I thought for 24 hours I would actually keep it. I had a lot of fun coming up with different rhythms and playing along with some YouTube tutorials for beginners. For younger folks or kids wanting to test the waters with handpans, I don't think this would be a bad idea. However, I grew up a musician and desire the higher quality & sound. Do your research on the web and use YouTube to decide on what fits your needs best.
