Hello, congratulations on your excellent work. Can you tell me what ring measures to hold the handpan and how the dimples of each note are made, can you inform me too, please? Thank you very much
That's a tough one. I got one from a friend in northern California but the others, I went to a local fabricator and had them made. If I find a link I'll post it but a local shop is best in my opinion. That way if you need other stuff built, you can get it done locally. Also it's just good to support local businesses where possible.
It's similar but much harder to do. Since your arms don't have as much support when doing it. I have used many different methods for the ding and still use a combination of these to get my desired result.
@@jrmhrpr hah, I'm still struggling with it. F*ed up 2 good shells because I couldn't stabilize or lower the ding enough. I have to find a way to make strong ding borders. I'll appreciate any tips :)
@@karoldomanski It's not really about strong borders. It's mostly about how much compression is in the note and how you handle it. Lots of great builders don't make borders at all. I could better help if you send me a video of the problem you are dealing with.
@@jrmhrpr My reasoning was exactly that: the membrane was not stable, because the structure couldn't hold the compression, therefore I should make a stronger borders. I'm curious about your approach, I'll try to send you a video if I'm stil with this problem on the next shell. Many thanks :)
How far away should the edge of the notes be to the dimple? I have been making a pan for two years now and have been stuck on the shaping part but I do mine completely by hand and hammer so it kills my arms and hands.
Hello! Thanks for the video, really usefull info. Can you share the model of the rammer you use in the video? And also, what kind of hammer head is that you use for marking the borders of note field? Not the delrin one.
@@jrmhrpr Thank you. Will watch it fully later. So you just manually hammer round the border line from inside the shell to create the oval shape then flatten the tonefield once thats done? Much thanks for all your videos Ill watch them a few times lol
Aria kasra Shafie I just completed my first solo build. I'll post video soon. I have not opened a list just yet. Check my Facebook page, Harper's Handpans. Thanks for the feedback!
I will take a look into those. I am searching everywhere for every little bit of information before i start hammering away next week, like different note sizes and shaping and what hammer heads to do for what. Going to keep a look out if you post any more helpful videos, thanks brother :)
Daniel P Experimentation. Everyone I know uses different sizes for different materials and thickness of steel. For both the notes and dimples. There is lots of info around about it if you search. :)
mario andres martinez lazo A few different kinds. 1008 raw, 1020 raw, 1008 nitrided, stainless steel, not sure what the other was. Haha, anything that will sound good.
mario andres martinez lazo It may be the alloy. There are different grades of stainless. Talk to your supplier about it. They should be able to help you out. :)
I'm a musician... and a metalworker... this is still rocket science to me.... one of these days... the lightbulb will go on.
really useful my friend! Thanks for sharing!
Golden my brother!

Hi thanks for the video
Can you tell me where I can purchase the tuning ring that goes around a pan?

@@jrmhrpr thank you for the quick response and I appreciate your help
Can you give me the dimensions? And would that be for a 20 inch or a 22 inch dome?
@@khashcpt I use 21" inner diameter.
Do you have a video of the step after this or rough tuning? I'm at this stage and I have no clue what to do next.
Thanks for the video :) I have a question: do you fine shape the ding note using this method as well?

I use the TX-01 rammer. The head is another head I made of the same material.
How do you determine the placement of the tonefields? thanks.
It's really about feel. Everyone had their preferred distance away from the rim and such. Sorry if that doesn't answer your question very well.
Super troopers
When you start the tonefield at beginner of video has this been pressed first? Or is all that there a dimple?
ruclips.net/video/k4Efi_G-mJU/видео.html
I never press tonefields. I don't like how they sound that way usually.
@@jrmhrpr Thank you. Will watch it fully later. So you just manually hammer round the border line from inside the shell to create the oval shape then flatten the tonefield once thats done? Much thanks for all your videos Ill watch them a few times lol
Hi bro, good job! Can you share the molds measure? Thank you!!
ty for video .
in handpan.org i searchh alll topics for notes size dimple tonefield .. it alll old and somany attechs deleted can u say anything about sizes??
Do you have a blueprint? What are the diameter of those holes?
Need to look at the front hammering parts, shaping the lens when the lens has been on the side, leading to I can not see
Good job bro.. how can i buy your handpan

nylon vs taped hammer? Curious before i start buying the wrong tools
Jonathan Elkaim I use Delrin for my heads. If you mean steel taped, I like the delrin heads because they are more forgiving on mistakes.
I will take a look into those. I am searching everywhere for every little bit of information before i start hammering away next week, like different note sizes and shaping and what hammer heads to do for what. Going to keep a look out if you post any more helpful videos, thanks brother :)
Jonathan Elkaim I actually make the heads and sell them. If you are interested let me know. :)
hello where can i buy this pneumatic hammer?
Texas pneumatics website. :)
Did you shoot this with your phone?
tryptala Yes. :)
Thanks bro, greetings from Chile.
Can you make a video about tips and how to fine tune the handpan?
JoanDrums13 eventually. Not quite there yet. ;)
thnks :D
Hello, may I know what is the material of your hammer head?
THF It goes by many names. Acetal and Delrin are the 2 most common. :)
how can i get the notes size and the dimples size?
Daniel P Experimentation. Everyone I know uses different sizes for different materials and thickness of steel. For both the notes and dimples. There is lots of info around about it if you search. :)
What kind of steel do you use to make handpan ?
mario andres martinez lazo A few different kinds. 1008 raw, 1020 raw, 1008 nitrided, stainless steel, not sure what the other was. Haha, anything that will sound good.
thanks !
what mm use no stainless Steel ?
Hello, may I know why you choose 1008 and 1020? As I know, those Carbon content are relatively higher than Others (e.g. DC04, 304,316)
THF I am not an expert by any means but I'm pretty sure 1008 is the same as DC04.
what mm use on stainless Steel ?
mario andres martinez lazo 1mm, 18g.
I'm the process of hammering to stainless steel in 1 mm. But it's too hard
mario andres martinez lazo It may be the alloy. There are different grades of stainless. Talk to your supplier about it. They should be able to help you out. :)
