π₯ About Handpans
The handpan can be elusive for those who wish to buy one and learn its secrets. Here are the main handpan instruments I recommend researching:
Recommended Handpan Instruments:
Halo β Made in USA, expensive, choose your own tuning, similar to Hang
PanArt Hang β No longer available, made in Switzerland (the original)
Saraz β This is what I play currently, made in the midwestern U.S. Learn more about Saraz
Tank Drum β Affordable, made in USA, beautiful sound, choose tuning, hands or mallets
Hapi Drum β Similar to Tank, some advantages, some drawbacks, different USA maker, similar price point
Rav Vast β Beautiful, a different type of handpan with great resonance and fairly affordable
Bell and European Models β Upwards of $2000, long waiting list. Spain, Italy, Germany, and Russia all have people making quality instruments

π§ Original Works Featuring the Hang
“Aharon’s experience with a diverse mix of musical traditions and various percussion instruments means that the potential of our lessons and my advancement is virtually limitless. Although each of my RAV drums only has 9 or 10 notes, he has helped me discover just how expansive my instruments truly are. I have been learning about rhythm, timing, striking techniques, concepts around taking listeners on a journey, understanding the feeling invoked by the different forms of playing, how to play melodically or percussively and how to meld the two, and so much more.”
