Hello my Friends!
In this whole new handpan realm, we have hundreds of options to choose from.Even 5 years ago, the selection was far smaller and relegated to the large, well known makers, and a few smaller ones.

Today, many people have taken up the hammer and started crafting quality instruments.With this shift in availability, I think it is important for people to make an informed choice.

There are many many parameters to consider when purchasing your first instrument, so knowing some of the traits to look for, will allow you to chose an instrument/sound sculpture that suits your style and musical desires.

These are MY opinions and experience owning and playing for many makers over the years, so you may have different beliefs.We are thankfully in a time where some"smaller" and larger ones makers are creating high quality instruments, at reasonable prices.

This video is not an advertisement for any maker in particular, and is not intended to influence in that direction. The handpans used are ones I own or have access to , and illustrate some or all of the traits i enjoy in an instrument.

Armed with the tools given here, you can begin to search for an instrument with a bit more clarity.

 Not addressed in this video are scales. A topic for future discussion! ;)

These traits are NOT all necessary for you to be satisfied and to find a quality instrument, however, a combination of them, will help lead you towards a quality instrument.
Add your own tips below! :)

Hope you find this helpful and remember,
