So glad I found this video! Sometimes I strike out some weird harmonics, now I know it is the Compound effects of the fundamentals, octaves and 5th harmonic at work!
This was awesome thank you. I thought I knew all this stuff but I was happy to find myself learning something new that I had missed. I and Very grateful for you and your dedication to this art form.
***BLIND NEWBIE HERE!*** I'm raising and waiving my hand---HELLO! Hello, so nice to 'meet' you! Hi. I am Molly. I just got my first handpan last week, and I finally have time to sit down with it. I am watching a few videos first, because I know nothing about this beautiful thing I now own. I am not musically inclined, nor have I ever played a musical instrument, other than running my mouth, comically known here in the deep south in America as "running my gator." I can holler and whistle, that's about it. Now at 55, I have just lost my mother, 3 days before Christmas. I am blind, and now I am all alone. (I lived with her, no siblings, father died when I was young). I need something to help me, to help me grieve, meditate, live in the moment, feel connected, just something to occupy my mind and hands. I am subscribing to you. Your video got quite technical at the end, for a newbie like me, but that is ok. I am NEW HERE! After I watch it a dozen more times, the parts about the note fields and strike zones will make more sense. I am fearful when I know you will start teaching about the actual NOTES each tone, (or was it note?) field can play! And then I understand that the dimples are also numbered somehow? As I blind person, I have to figure out a way to understand and remember this info! I obviously cannot read music, because I cannot see it. I don't want to get all technical. I want to learn how to use my hands the proper way, and where each sound is. I want to learn proper striking methods, but how will I be able to see someone/anyone teach me this? I need a video for is "blind-friendly." (I do have a LITTLE bit of eyesight, but trust me, it's not much). Life is more challenging for me. But I believe that once I memorize the sounds each dimple makes, I can start putting together my own harmonies, I guess.... I am going to give it my all. Do you have any other students who are blind?? Do you play more by muscle memory? Or visually? Or both? As a beginner, do you recommend we number our dimples somehow? (Could I use, say, a wide Sharpie, and put a big 1, 2, 3, etc, in each dimple? Or would that change the sound? As a newbie, I can't imagine it would change the sound enough that my untrained ears would pick up on. Thoughts??? Thank you so much. Sorry this was so long!
Hi Molly! I just ordered my own handpan and will have to let you know any advice once I get my hands on one! I play other instruments and teach music, so give me a few weeks and I'll reply back with some ideas! I am very sorry for your loss and I hope you are finding some comfort with your hang drum
Handpan finger playing and hole punches, makes me really want to jingle my zones in ways I've never had the pleasure to bang. Thanks for sharing, and hope to learn more finger technique when your on the bottom of this fine piece.
I just received an order from Amazon as a gift, and the handpan smoothness looks somewhat rough. The sounds seem ok, but do not last long. I am new to the instrument. Is it normal that it came in with a semi-oily surface? And the places on the seeming brand-new handpan look dirty. I tried wiping lightly, and am questioning if there was rust underneath and someone tried to spray-paint. I flip the pan, and inside I see rust-like traces (dust), and smell something like glue. The dirty places are around the lower part of the pan, and they do not seem to go away upon gentle wiping (I don’t want to force-rub). should the handpans be expected to carry rust from the get-go? it’s a gift, but I am leaning toward informing the gifter to see if we can return it
It‘s all good. Got the same one. It’s just poor quality due to the price of 200 bucks. It should always be a bit greasy and the markings and smell etc is just because it costs a 10th of the actual price. But still a great beginner model and a way to test it you want to invest 2k - 8k for a decent model.
I am so happy I found your channel-such clear explanations. Could you recommend a handpan please? I need to purchase my first ever handpan and begin learning...I would be so gratefu if you could point out a good beginner´s handpan. I thank you in advance. I am looking at your website and when I am set to go, I would like to look into your zoom lessons. Thank you in advance.
@@Handpan360 is your course available now-april 2024? thank you. To be able to join and begin I need to purchase a handpan to begin with: what is a good enough handpn that I can start with-could you please advise. Thank you very much.
@@user-pe8cu1vs6dA lot of people say don't spend your money on cheap £200-£300 pans . But if your learning i think these are ideal . Mine was £339 and I think its fantastic . I hope to buy a higher bracket pan when I win lottery .
It is difficult to get a affordable cheap entry-level instrument. That is also good quality with stable notes. So they are getting better and better every day. What is your price range?
Crazy I just decided to search what a handpan actually is and the first few videos are performances that I'd expect would need at least 8 tracks of stuff in a DAW but it's just one guy poking at a big metal thing 😮
I’m not musically inclined at all. finding it difficult to learn this I want to though it’s soothing, especially with PTSD or just listening to it just healing
I am new to the world of handpans and have nobody who i can ask so please dont laugh at my question but why is it that the center note has often that strange metallic sound like when you hit a deep steel pot (which is not a musical instrument) randomly? To my ears its totally off because the other side notes sound beautiful- LIke that center note does not belong there at all and its disturbing the beautiful sound of handpan... But then sometimes i hear somebody playing handpan and the side notes sound a little bit same as metallic noise too (in the background of the beautiful tone) then i start wondering wether it is an indication of quality of handpan or the hitting technique or its just natural. Could you explain it to me? thank you
After a bit of research i have found maybe its called "backbeat"? when you dont hit the tone field but next to it. Looks like a subjective preference because my ears really perceive it as disturbing noise which ruins the melodic sound of handpan (My friend told the same (we both dont know anything about handpans)) but i have realized its natural and a lot of musicians love it.
Good question, thanks for asking. Im not sure exactly what sound you're referring to, if you send me a video link and time stamp I can answer more completely. But what I think you may be talking about is sound coming from the shoulder tones of the center tone or interstitial of the pan. They can be quite high and not always in tune with the handpan. playing off the dimple of the center tone and on the tone field can make this more pronounced. I personally rarely play the tone field of the center tone unless doing a harmonic bend or isolation. Definitely the quality of the instrument makes a HUGE difference here. And yes, you are correct, also the precision and skill of the player. As a side note....why is a deep steel pot not an instrument? It is one of my absolute favorites! its actually how I first got into singing steel music
+JustMyTwoCentz it all depends on how you strike it, amd also the instrument itself. it is not often easy but it is possible, you can send me a video of your play to handpan360@gmail.com, I’d be happy to share my thoughts
lol! I can understand. I would start with my best sound video. Then if you would like, I do offer online live zoom lessons. The quaslity is what you see with the videos here as well. You can find out more on my website, www.handpan360.com let me know if you have other questions
What I did was watch videos on the handpan, and then I experimented and learned the different tones and the order. From there, i just did combinations of what I picked up and get lost in it. Pick what sound order works for you. I'm no pro, but I do get fortunate sometimes when I'm playing outside and people stop to listen or record. That's how you know you're on the right track( at least, in my opinion). Just have fun and roll with it 😏👍

Thanks for going over the terminology of the various areas of the handpan. Also, loved the demonstration of the octave and fifth harmonics!
:) 🦦🤗
Same, I have always been curious to see how the harmonics of a tone field are isolated.
@@jkndrkn I'll definitely be doing some deep dives into that topic in the future :)
@@Handpan360 Would be cool to see some side by side comparisons of different pans as well :]
@@jkndrkn oh thats also coming :) on the list for sure
Dude … 4 years later and you’re still teaching me stuff! Don’t know how I missed this one…..well done!!!! 👍🏼……🛸🎶….💕🤗🦋
Thanks Deb!
Nice video for those who wish to learn how to use handpan. I hope you also create a tutorial video using RAV Moon. Best sound than ever!
So glad I found this video! Sometimes I strike out some weird harmonics, now I know it is the Compound effects of the fundamentals, octaves and 5th harmonic at work!

Yes indeed. :)

very good lesson
Thank you kindly :)
I'm just researching handpans because I gained a sudden interest. I had no idea you could play octaves until I watched this.
Wow u explain so clear great
Thank you. I am trying to simplify. I always want to share too much all at once lol
Awesome tutorial. Thank you
I subscribed to learn more.
Thank you so much! Thanks for joining the tribe :)
Are all handpans 432 hz?

Thank you so much Peter! 🙏 💕 This helps so much! Blessings xo
Im so glad its helped!!!!
As you would hit on top in the middle of an apex ding. Would it be harming the handpan to hit inside the dimple in the inpex ding?
not at all, as long as your strike is reasonably precise and not overly aggressive, just like any other note.
I love your videos

My handpan is very dull sounding. It sounds okay with the mallets but not with my strike. Any suggestions
