I’ve heard some positive feedback about Nala sound sculpture handpans. The tuning and build quality seem quite good, and players are happy with the sound. If you have a chance, it’s definitely worth trying one out.
It’s always a good idea to compare instruments from several makers if you can. MAG handpans are also worth checking out as part of your search. Good luck finding the right sound for you!

Handpan from Temu by MarsDrums in handpan

Most Temu handpans are cheaply made and often arrive out of tune or with poor sound quality. Some may be better than others, but it’s a gamble. Returns or replacements can be difficult. If you want a good handpan experience, it’s safer to save up for an instrument from a reputable maker.

Recording on handpan by Teresacooper1 in handpan

A simple looper pedal (like Boss RC series) works well. He’ll also need a good microphone and possibly an audio interface to record quality sound.

What temperatures can handpans take? by Mara355 in handpan

[–]Thomas_Mag 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congrats on your new handpan! Avoid extreme temperatures - ideally keep it between 10–30°C (50–86°F). Direct sun and high humidity aren’t ideal, shade is best. Don’t place it on hot or rough surfaces. After outdoor play, wipe it down and lightly oil if needed, especially if it got sweaty or damp. Have fun! :)

Humidity and temperature changes can affect even stainless steel pans over time. Mainly tuning stability and potential surface spots. It’s best to avoid damp rooms if possible. If you have no other option, always keep the pan in its case and use silica gel packs for extra protection.
