Came across this video instead and forgot to get back to the very interesting Netflix series. I was so engrossed in the process of how this sublime sounding instrument is made by this amazingly talented man. Specially how handsome he is and how pure his happiness is with what he does. I am totally crushing over him rn.❤️ His sweet smile made this video so worth my time. Thank you.

    I've always wanted these so badly, but the hard process just to make one of these is incredibly astounding. When I do have the money, I'll buy one, one day. Along with a tuning hammer, start hammering away on things in the stores, parks, poles, tune a dent out of a car, you name it. There's so much that could be done with that tuning hammer and other objects. Make a steel roof over the porch, with hammered in notes. So when it rains, the notes will play too.Just softly.

      Так может быть лучше сразу молоток купить, а не ханг? Думаю, молоток дешевле выйдет. Зато сразу много музыкальных инструментов получишь, и в парке, и на крыше, и в магазине на стелажах. И в метро вагончики подрихтовать можно, а то скрипят иногда. А в лесу каждое дерево можно простучать, как дятел. У нас в России дятлы долбят крышки уличных фонарей. Звук отменный, на две улицы слыш6.

      @@HardIsEasy I couldn't agree with Roberts comment more, I was curious to see the making of a hang drum, even though I already knew it was just beating metal into shape and at 24 minutes long I thought I would just be bailing out before hitting halfway. But watching this was a magical journey, the music, the making, the editing all just come together perfectly and I watched the full 24 minutes entranced. Seem like a great bunch of characters too.

    Before I saw this video I thought life was okay. I did not know what a handpan was. I did not know how to make one.
    Now I am lost. I know the mystery of how it is made; I know how beautiful it sounds when played by an expert; but there is a problem: there is no way I could possibly make one with such craftsmanship, nor any way I can make such beautiful music with it and yet I feel incomplete not being able to.
    Amazing video, thank you for sharing the mystery.

    Probably the best almost-random RUclips click of 2019 so far!
    The fascinating process of making such a thing - into which MUCH more work than I imagined seems it must go - and the... how to phrase it... mystical, almost mythical sound you can get if you have the skills to play it... oh, man!
    As soon as I saw the processes and the workshop and the tools, I thought 'this must be a rich man's toy', and then someone made reference to 'three thousand', so I guess 3k Euros or thereabouts.
    Worth every single Euro/Cent... if you can spend that kind of money on an instrument, I am sure.
    The hours, perhaps even weeks at a time, I would lose to this if I had it and could play it.
    I haven't found an 'instrument' this fascinating since I first tried (and failed) to play a didjeridoo.
    I would still love to learn how to play a didj', but this... this seems likes it's on a whole new level of... of... of... 'absorbing me' as it were.
    Now I want to check out several things related to this.
    I saw his gadget (phone?) measuring the (insert technical phrase here) when he was tuning the pan.
    What was he measuring? I can grasp the idea instinctively, but I cannot put into words.
    Something about Hertz or frequencies or notes (beyond me).
    I guess I should now watch more videos about this and perhaps more importantly about musical theory / sound.
    Please give me links or key-words to search if you know them, thank you.
    Thanks for a really great video.

Seriously, although I have literally (and I do mean literally) no ability to play music, no theoretical or practical knowledge of music, and not a single musical bone in my body, I am going to think carefully about ordering one of these.
      Are you (Numen Instruemnts) the maker/man in this video?
      I guess you'll have a website, so I might know the answer to that question before you see this.
      I ride motorbikes, and at 10% the cost of my latest toy (Yamaha Tmax 530DX), I feel confident that I would get as much enjoyment from one of these as I get from a bike.
      You may receive an enquiry from me in an email soon to tell me what I need to know before committing and ordering.

Just choose beginner friendly scale such as d celtic minor etc. Much groovy playing revolves around the middle ding and rhytm playing.

    This video is honestly amazing! The editing and the humor and everything had me hooked all the way through and I'm super glad I stumbled across this as it was really informative.
    I always loved the sound of this instrument, first hearing it in Minecraft in the song "Aria Math", and then later in Factorio in the song "The Search For Iron"... and as someone who's very into music, I always wanted one but couldn't understand why they were so incredibly priced
    Obviously I knew there must've been a good reason and it was probably way harder than I was imagining, but at the time in my head it just looked like a big dome of metal some machine could've easily pressed into or something... this totally shows off all the hard work and time it takes to make just one of these things!
    The video is very charming and nice, and I love the music being played throughout the video!! Thank you! :)

    This is an awesome video of "How It's Made". The mix of music and the video is a win. My first exposure to the melody from a Handpan was a pleasure to hear. I saw two version of Handpan being played together. One was like the one in this video and the other one was crafted from a gas tank. Both gave pleasant tones to hear. I was impressed how loud they were. The gas tank version was cut to have tuned flaps. But it sounded almost the same as the other. Seeing the care and time needed to craft one totally explains the cost of one.
