Which handpan to buy? Beginner's Guide to Choosing

Are you ready to start your musical journey with the handpan but don’t know which one to choose? Don’t worry, choosing your first handpan may seem difficult, but with the right tips, it will be a simple and rewarding experience. Here’s everything you need to know to find the perfect handpan for you! 😊
1. Choose a Simple Musical Scale
To start, I recommend opting for a pentatonic scale or a Kurd D scale. These scales are the most beginner-friendly because each note sounds harmonious with the others, allowing you to create enjoyable melodies effortlessly.
2. Number of Notes: Less is More at the Beginning
A handpan with 8 or 9 notes is perfect for beginners. Fewer notes help you focus on rhythm and fluidity, without feeling overwhelmed. As you gain confidence, you’ll be able to explore instruments with more notes and complexity.

3. Materials and Construction Quality
A quality handpan makes all the difference. Look for instruments made of nitrided steel for better strength and perfect resonance. Bapst Handpans are handcrafted, ensuring durability, sound quality and an authentic experience.
4. Budget: Invest in a Good Start
Even if you are a beginner, avoid tools that are too cheap. A well-built handpan not only sounds better, but makes learning smoother and more enjoyable. At Bapst Handpan I also offer installment payments to help you get started worry-free.

5.1 Which Handpan to Buy : You have to start somewhere
I know, choosing your first handpan can seem like a challenging decision, but remember: you have to start somewhere! Taking the first step is crucial. No one is born an expert, and the musical journey with the handpan begins from that moment when you decide to listen to yourself and follow your intuition.
Don’t be afraid of making mistakes: if one day you feel the need to change or try another model, you can always resell your handpan and buy another one. But don’t let indecision get you stuck. Listen to yourself, let yourself be guided by passion and remember that every beginning, even if imperfect, is the first step towards something wonderful. The important thing is not to ignore your desire to play and explore this magical instrument. The rest will follow! 😊
