Dreamland Handpan, D Minor pentatonic, stainless steel

Dreamland Handpan, D Minor pentatonic, stainless steel - D3 A3 C4 D4 F4 G4 A4 C5 D5

We have been trying to find decent handpans at a reasonable price for years, but we never found them until now. We are happy to inform you that these inexpensive Dreamland handpans fully meet our own quality standards. The sound is radiant, warm, consistent and perfectly in tune (not always the case with less expensive handpans). With its 9 tones and the pentatonic scale in D minor, it is perfect for beginners, but can also be played on stage thanks to its clean and stable tuning.

Crafted in Vietnam

This handpan has been manufactured by highly experienced and skilled metal craftsmen in Vietnam. In the early 2010s, when handpans became more and more popular, they already started to develop their first handpans, which then became better and better every year. Now we are proud to introduce the latest generation, the Handpan Dreamland, which fully meets our own quality standards.

Construction

Normally, in this price range, you almost only find handpans made of nitrided steel, which has a much shorter resonance than the stainless steel used in our handpan. We didn't want to save money in the "wrong" place and compromise on sound quality. How is our handpan crafted? First, the two mechanically pre-formed wok-shaped half-shells are firmly joined together. Then the tone fields are hammered into the material by experienced instrument makers in precise craftmanship. As soon as the "rough structure" is in place, the individual notes are carefully tuned. This process is the most time-consuming and requires the most experience and a sharp ear. To ensure that the handpan is safely protected, a protective ring made of robust rubber is placed all around it. Finally, the protective cover is placed on top, the bag is wrapped around it.

Handling and care of the handpan

Even though a protective cover and a padded bag are included in the delivery, it is recommended to handle the handpan with care, as with other musical instruments. Also, it can't hurt to clean its surface with a soft cloth or to treat it carefully with a drop of oil (e.g. Ballistol) from time to time. And the rubber ring will appreciate an occasional splash of rubber care (e.g. silicone oil).
