Do you dream of embarking on the handpan adventure but don’t know where to start? Don’t panic, choosing your first handpan can seem intimidating, but I’m here to guide you. In this article, I’ll explain how to choose the perfect handpan to start with, without stress or confusion!
1. Opt for an easy-to-use range
We often ask ourselves how difficult it is to play the Handpan ? On the contrary, it can be easy, if you choose your first handpan well:)
To start, choose a pentatonic scale or D Kurd. These ranges are known for their simplicity and fluidity. They make it easy for you to create harmonious melodies, even without any musical experience. With them, every note played rings true, which is reassuring and motivating for a beginner.
2. Choose a suitable number of notes
A handpan with 8 to 9 notes is ideal for beginners. Too many notes can be confusing at first, while a simpler instrument allows you to focus on the essential: the pleasure of playing. Little by little, you can evolve towards more complex models if you feel like it.

3. Focus on quality for an optimal experience
Even if you’re a beginner, a quality handpan makes all the difference. A good instrument offers clear resonance, precise tuning , and a long lifespan. At Bapst Handpan, I carefully select handpans made in an artisanal way, designed especially for beginners, to ensure you have an authentic and pleasant experience from the first notes.
4. Consider your budget without compromise
A handpan is an investment, but it is possible to find quality entry-level models without blowing your budget. I offer payment facilities so that you can get started serenely without breaking the bank.
PS: Never forget to ask yourself questions if the handpan is sold “cheap”, it can show sloppy manufacturing processes or very poor quality materials.

A good supplier is more than just selling an instrument. Make sure it offers free tutorials, advice, and compassionate support. At Bapst Handpan, I provide you with resources specially designed for beginners, so that your musical adventure starts smoothly.
