@@motirock What is your judgement about this meraki, compared to the other handpan you have?

[@motirock]

@@lucaravenna2133 I have 3 HandPans from different manufacturers: Yishama(Nitrided), Meraki(Ember) and Blesspan(STL).
They are very nice creations and I cannot be compared because they have different characters.
The sustain of Meraki's Ember Steel is longer and rich than other STL. I love it because it has the best sound and scale balance. But in my opinion, I feel Yishama and others are better if you wanna play percussive style.

@@motirock thanks for your kindness. I tried once a blesspan STL but it sounded to mee that there was a lot of cross-activation between the notes. I mean that the notes were not isolated. Does this happen also with your pan? Are the notes in the meraki one nicely isolated? It sounds like they are in your video

​@@lucaravenna2133 I feel my blesspan is a bit cross-activation between some notes. And there's just one note of not good quality than other notes. Total balance and character are good for me.
I think STL has long the sustain and Cross-activation is likely to occur by the manufacturer.
I have touched many handpans from different manufacturers. Especially, I feel great with clear sound(and nicely isolated) were Yishama, Ayasa, Meraki, Manik, and Sonobe.
I also think that some manufacturers have a unique character it's like the one and only, so it is not possible to make a general comparison. Actually, I love my Blesspan very much.
