    This video made me realize how damn lucky I was. I got a used one from a musician near me for $300 that had 9 notes. The resonation definitely lasts for at least 5 seconds on a regular hit and the notes are tuned very well except for 1 which I still make work. He sold it cause he only needed it for a single gig.
    Very grateful. I wanted one for 3 years and told myself I'd only buy if I can play it before buying

    Yeah, using the mallets, especially with more than a light touch, will damage the tone fields over time & throw it out of tune that much faster. Acolyte makes a very good entry level product for $1300 on amazon. Not cheap I know, but get something worth playing.

      No, I can tell you that unless you know someone who is a metallurgist and understands electroplate engineering 😉 that you're being ripped off if you buy any of these. For the love of all humanity don't pay 1300 USD for this and thank you PANArt for suing the world of music into becoming the world of used automobile sales FACEPALM. Listen, have a personal relationship with your mechanic before you decide invest this kind of money, if you don't they will rip you off. This isn't like buying a 2000 USD Taylor guitar where a certain degree of materials manufacturing and quality control standard must be maintained at all times.

    The reason why it is not resonating is because he put it on the fold-up seat/stool so it is blocking the whole on the bottom, at least that's what it looks like to me 😅

    • @Bthelick
      @Bthelick Год назад +2

      nah you can hear each individual note has counter resonance harmonics which are countering them selves and cancelling the vibrations. Like a drum tuned with one skin higher than the other, it just dies instantly until both skins resonate in harmony.

      Tell me about it !
      When hangs first came out, when hardly anyone knew of them, I had the chance to buy one at drumcamp (where I was teaching Didgeridoo) for £325 and I just didn't have the cash at the time. I regret now that I didn't beg, borrow or steal to find the money for it ! Been kicking myself ever since.
      I first heard a hang on a website for experimental instruments and the makers actually sent me a cd with sample sounds of all the different tunings. The cd is like an ambient meditation album.

    Sorry to correct you Jesse, but it is IMPERATIVE that as a beginner YOU DO NOT play these instruments with a mallet. I only recommend professionals do this as it can absolutely put the instrument out of tune, which can be very difficult to retune/repair.

    Regardless of the negativity in this review I went and bought one for $330 off eBay. No, it doesn't sound like a $1500 hand made hang drum but it sounds 100x better than the one he's using in this video. The sounds are actually fairly clear with good resonance. Only one indent sounds a little off key.

      Theres also a couple for sale on Asteman, they cost 520$, (they're on sale, normally they cost 1,180$ American) They give videos of them being played, they sound gorgeous, and unlike the Handpan you see in this video, the notes are way longer

    Why do they cost so much? There essentially nothing but two pans welded together with a couple of dents put in them in the right places. You could make one for less then that. Nothing I see here should warrant $1000 for ANY kind of drum.

    • @daniellazylen5350
      @daniellazylen5350 2 года назад

      They are made by hand, from a flat sheet of metal. Everything is made by hand, that's why the cost, it's the labor that makes it so expensive. Plus the tuning is done by hand with small hammers. Everything must be tuned, the note plus the harmonic around it. I don't know how much time they take to build one but I would think maybe a week? to properly tune it. This one obviously took like a few hours, maybe a day? That's why a good quality handpan can cost 3000$, because a lot of time is spent in tuning it to perfection.

    • @chrislaws4785
      @chrislaws4785 2 года назад

      @@daniellazylen5350 I understand a cost like that for a quality handmade one, but I'd think something like this just as easily could be made by a machine press and lower the cost. I mean I looked online out of curiosity and even the "cheaper" ones are still in the hundreds to thousands of dollars. I feel that something like this would be hard to purchase because there seems to a "set price" to what they cost regardless of how they're made. It would be hard to know for sure which one was handmade and which wasn't.

      @daniellazylen5350 2 года назад

      @@chrislaws4785 Actually it would be very easy to spot which ones are machine-made and which ones are quality instruments. I doubt that even machine-made could be made using a machine only. I don't think a machine can tune these properly. Could work but it would probably be out of tune for some notes. Even on the cheap 600$ ones, you can see all these tiny hammer hits, dings, and bumps that tune the note field and harmonics. Those from China don't have all these harmonics, there is less time spent to fine-tune them. Most people won't notice this too much, even out-of-tune notes, so they can buy a cheaper one and learn on it I guess.

    • @chrislaws4785
      @chrislaws4785 2 года назад

      @@daniellazylen5350 That makes sense then. But, if someone understood or had a good ear for notes, couldn't they simply buy a cheaper one and tune it themselves with little more then a few differently sized hammers? I mean a little elbow grease and effort to tune a cheaper one yourself definitely sounds better then throwing down $600 plus on one that's already tuned for you. Lol.

      @daniellazylen5350 2 года назад

      @@chrislaws4785 A little elbow grease? do you know how hard it is to tune these? you could totally ruin it and make it worse. You don't tune it with your ear, you tune it with a tuner, it's the only way to know for sure it's in tune, plus you have to tune the harmonics around the note. Cheap handpans don't have harmonics much. I bought a 1200$ one and it still does not have all the harmonics and some of the notes are not stable, so when I hit it a little too hard with my hands, I hear a ''boing'' sound. Well-made handpan have thicker metal and you can hit them a bit harder without hearing the note distort. I bought a Amahi handpan, made in China. supposed to be highend for china made but I can see the flaws.
