Handpan drum crafted for stable, resonant tone and durable performance. Precisely handtuned by a professional tuner for minimal pitch fluctuation and clear resonance across every note. Key benefits Consistent, musical tuning: Each note is individually tuned for resonance and minimal detuning, delivering reliable sound for practice, performance, and recording. Durable construction: Nitrided surface treatment increases hardness and wear resistance. Made from nitrogen steel DC04 with protected edges for long service life. Balanced, noise timbre: Handhammered tone fields create an uneven hammer texture that evens timbre, reduces unwanted noise, and prevents surface damage. Easy to play: Suitable for players without formal training. Play with bare hands, finger taps, or included drumsticks for varied articulation and dynamics. Ready to carry and use: Includes protective packaging and accessories to store, transport, and play immediately. Features Material: Nitrogen steel DC04 with nitrided surface treatment for improved hardness and corrosion resistance. Shape and construction: Hollow interior with convex lens shape for focused resonance; edges coated for protection. Tunable underside: A tuning hole identified as GU on the underside allows fine adjustment. Handcrafted finish: Each instrument is handhammered and handtuned to enhance sustain and produce an ethereal, stable sound. Tapping pattern: Surface hammer marks help balance timbre and reduce mechanical noise.
