I originally bought my RAV (B Celtic) after listening to you Ricky 😊, and I love it. I also have hand pans, but the RAV will always be a favourite! Excellent, balanced comparison Ricky!

Great comparison! I fell in love with the sound of the Rav and used all my savings to buy one during the pandemic. Love my D Celtic Minor - no regrets! 😁

Amazing scale! Thank you so much 🙏
I am new to this and am enchanted. I love your work. I can see that you are really gifted artist and teacher. The dream was that I could buy a RAV or hand pan and sound like you. Hah! I'll have to get some realistic expectations, catch up with all your videos and then will look you up for lessons when I find an instrument. Thanks for giving back to community!
Thanks so much for a clear concise and simple ways of demonstrating the difference, but i still can't make my mind up arggggh 🤯❤️❤️❤️❤️
Very cool video Ricky, thanks for sharing your experience with both of them.💛🙏

Great video Ricky! I love both my Handpan and my RAVs and I'm so glad I started on the RAVs first. I think you and Ravs gave me a great foundation for these instruments before moving on to a Handpan. Thanks! 👋👋

@@RAVVastSteelTongueDrum RAV drums are very forgiving as far as striking the notes when learning as a beginner. Zero chance of knocking it of tune in a short period of time. The cost is also half the price of a decent Handpan. I played my B Celtic DD for three years & it sounds as good if not better than when I started. Learning to Play without concern for detuning or damaging your pan allows you to learn free of worries. So for me RAVs were a great place to start. Thanks RAV Team! 😎👍👍👍
Ricky, thanks for sharing your suggestions and ides. I have a Rav G Pgymy and D Major and enjoy playing them.

Will we ever see Rav/Quint/Pulsar/Frog type tongue drums that are 22" and 10" deep with larger tongues? More like a true hybrid between the Handpan and the tongue drum, but richer tone while keeping its melodious nature.
Thanks for the comparison and technical explanation of the harmonics etc. I do have some curious questions and these are based on being a pan player with both nitride and stainless pans, what l hear through my quality headphones and what l observe. 1. Im not sure what pans they are but through my ears those 2 pans did not sound very stable in some of the notes so it wasnt to pleasant for a comparison. 2. I dont think it was mentioned regarding the style of playing between the rav and the pans ie. Percussive or melodic as this may have influence people in the market, also the difference in striking and the volume projection without micrphones is important. I believe the pan throws a greater cleaner sound with less effort. 3. From my understanding Ricky endorses the Ravs but l also saw a clip of him with a Frog drum but it had a ravast hashtag. Im confused or are they made by the same people? Thanks 🙏🙌

Hey friend! I see that have a great understanding and curiosity, it's amazing to have such people in our community! Thank you 🙏 About your questions: 1. This maybe due to the fact that they are different scales in terms of pitch and key, which may have caused this issue for you 2. We get your point. It's definitely a good comparison criteria. RAV is considered to be more melodic, when the pan is more percussive. The sound itself is more closed and ambient in the pan, as it is a closed instrument, the RAV had a great sustain and a brighter, more open sound, as it is something between a handpan pan and tongue drum 3. Ricky is our brand ambassador. Frog drums are a different brand :) Hope that helped 💙
Thank you for that. I sold my RAV and am waiting for my new hardpan now. I had the feeling I am more a hardpan player then a RAV Drum, well let's see if that was the right decision 😝 You have a beautiful sound here what Microphone do you use to record? ♥ Love

I’m trying to decide which one to buy. I’m a smaller,older woman. I really WANT to like the the Rav,best,but,I’m really drawn to the Handpan….You said the HP must be TUNED? How do we get that done? Does the Rav need tuning? I play guitar a bit,but,would not be able to tune these instruments! Thank you for your time. I just learned about these instruments,today. I’m very excited!

The RAV doesn’t need tuning, when a handpan has to be sent or taken to a tuners if you don’t know how to do it yourself 😉 The RAV is also more musical, when the HP is more percussion like. Also RAV is easier to maintain and to travel with, as the HP is a very fragile instrument with sensitivity to the environment: rust, temperature changes, etc. The RAV had a protective seal which makes RAV so strong in term of environmental damage Hope that helps 🙌💙

@@RAVVastSteelTongueDrum I got the D major. I’m really drawn to the Celtic sounds,but, I thought the D might allow playing with others,easier. When it arrived,my first impression was disappointment as the tone did not ring for me . However,I used 2 soft rubber mallets and the sound was beautiful! After that,I could find better tone with my hands. However,it still is not as bright as I expected using my hands. But,I’m old and perhaps my hands need to loosen up. I have had it for 2 nights and have enjoyed the simple melodies and vibes. The D really is a uplifting tuning,but, I fantasize on a Celtic,too:) it’s a very interesting instrument and a satisfying sound can be had easier then learning other instruments,for sure. The main D “hole” seems perfectly tuned to my guitar. I don’t know what the other notes are,yet,but,I play by ear,anyway. Thank you.

Who makes the stainless steel Handpan? Can you share or link please ??
Can i see, rav more difficult to play, than hang, right or not? I try to play some hang (4 different) to finding perfect sounds to me, than i take the rav - and it is pushka bomba (read like “very good for my ears”) to me. And now Im trying to play on it, my soul crying to happy))

It's good that you can play it now. I think, to each his own. Some say it's easier to play RAV Vast than hang. But I appreciate your comment and it opens a discussion to all of us. :)
A handpan sounds a little bit like some keyboard instrument (I mean a piano, for example), and a rav vast sounds like some string instrument, a harp maybe.
