An American built handpan, 21 inches across, in D Celtic minor with nine notes: D in the center plus A, C, D, E, F, G, A and C. The shell is PC steel with a powder coated finish, close to a car paint job, which is why it never needs lubricating. Standard tuning is 440 Hz with a 432 Hz option, and an embroidered soft bag is included. Direct price is $1,449, while the eight note version sells for $1,299.
This is the pick for anyone who hates upkeep or lives somewhere humid: no oil, no rust panic, just wipe it down. D Celtic minor is friendly and melodic, good for songwriting and quiet playing. The limits are the ones a small shop always has. Scale choice is narrow, stock depends on the workshop calendar, and a deep scratch in the coating is not something to fix at home.
