    Great sound and easy to play. However the one I got was a open box floor model. The high note is out of tune from someone hitting it to hard. So now I have to find out who to send it to to have it tuned again and what that will coast me.

  • If it's your first hand pan go for it.

    I have wanted one of these since the pan art days, but they were way to expensive. I was a little nervous to get this because the next one was double the price. So so glad I did. It sounds great and is a wonderful starter handpan.

  • Great Price and very nice instrument

    It took a bit of learning to hit it correctly, but since I have never owned one before I have no idea how difficult the others are to hit for correct tone. The others are all between 2 and 3 TIMES as expensive so I bought this one as my introduction to the instrument and I LOVE it!
