Choosing a 9-note handpan depends on several essential criteria: the range, the quality of manufacture and your personal use. If you’re looking for a soft, introspective vibe, opt for a minor scale like D Minor or A Kurd, perfect for meditation and relaxation. If you prefer a more joyful and catchy sound, a C Major model might be more suitable. Also check the build quality: a good handpan should have a clear resonance and well-tuned notes. Finally, think about your use: a compact and lightweight model will be ideal if you want to take it everywhere, while a handpan with thicker steel will offer a deeper resonance. If you hesitate, don’t hesitate to ask us for advice, we are here to help you find the handpan that suits you! 😊
