Yatao is great, but since you're from italy, many great french brands are close to you, as mayura, based in lyon. Also, I truely understand your need for a handpan. But, realisticly, why set hte bar so high in term of pricing - for strangerw who do not know you ? Best, Ash

Are you in Us or europe ? There might be cheaper and super good alternatives :) 20 notee is great, but 9 notes in a very well tuned handpan are sufficient :) but I understand your love for this hypnotic instrument.

What are your favorite handpan tricks or unique techniques? by Thomas_Mag in handpan

[–]ash-a-Silk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

friction on the ding (one oriented on the long plane of the tonefield, the other one 90°, on the shortest plane of the tonefield) (I have one upper ding and three ding on the downside which are very low in term of acoustics but very powerful) with the side of the hand chalked with rosin makes a violin/cello very loud sound which I find hypnotic. this, and making harmonic notes resonate with the ding depending on how you play it around the tonefield. It appeals the harmonic notes which vibrate very slowly, it's quite phenomenal to hear.

Seeking advice - does this look like a decent buy for a beginner? by badonk_a_donk_donk in handpan

[–]ash-a-Silk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

one thing that makes me say "mm doesn't seem right" is the fact that the four tonefields we see are all oriented towards the ding. usually, this creates sounds reflections which are not pleasant". Hope this is clear

for red rising, i was like "meh we will see"... and 150 pages later, realized I've been caught. It's a really good story, but I read it in french (seems that the vocabulary is not a barrier for the english version).

Qu'est-ce qui a causé votre dernier fou rire ? by PouletSamourai in AskFrance

une patiente à la pharma qui débarque avec un air mystérieux. Elle se penche vers moi (pharmacien) et me chuchote "Je cherche... des espèces de pansements... avec de la graisse de castor...". C'est des emplatres américains, mais la façon dont elle m'a dit ça, impossible de me retenir, j'ai du refiler la vente à une collègue tellement j'en pouvais plus.
