Makai makes a great pan! Josh is a great builder! I have their Hokkaido scale … 💕🛸🎶🦋

for the price looks and sounds good! Thank you.

Hey David … It’s been a year …. Curious to know how it sounds now…. I could hear a bit of a bite on two notes, but for that price, overall, it sounded darn good. But we both also know that any company is going to send one of their most “in tune pans” they can find because they know it’s going to be reviewed and heard by many. The proven problem with a lot of the mass produced China (or like) pans, is the stability issue….. they just don’t stay in tune and tuners don’t particularly want to retune them. Because of how they’re built, they can’t guarantee the retune will last. But dude …. Gotta say …you made this one sound good!! Nice playing! How about an update now? 🤗🛸🎶🦋

Came here by accident looking for sounds to elevate my morning. Stayed for the education. Enjoyed it very much

The Gu hole is really tiny. So retuning might be almost impossible as the tuner can't reach on the inside. And the sound.. Hmm. This might be okay for 600 bucks but it's not a high quality handpan, sorry.

I bought an As Teman 10 note 432 HzD minor through Amazon. This is my first handpan. I can't make it sound very good at all and not sure why.

@cutechiangels

Yes, that's different and difficult, as a handpan in 432Hz is not in tune with the majority of music. And, you can't play handpan with someone else, nor in a music group. Only, if that type of Hz is asked for, maybe. But very rare. Be it classical, modern, jazz, pop, etc., alas, that's most of times in 440Hz. Which is not natural at all, nor as soothing as other type of Hz's. But, the worldwide music lobbies chose for 440Hz!! I suppose gouvernements are behind that... Long story... You can use yours for relaxation, meditation, and yoga, and even hypnosis. It's perfectly suited for all that. Which a 440Hz isn't. Tutorials are around now, for 432Hz pans. I hope that's made things clearer. Take care.

To be honest it's a different instrument altogether. As a 'tongue drum" the volume is incredibly low compared to handpans. just keep that in mind. Plus it's a cheaper manufacturing process since they just need to cut holes in the steel, versus meticulous hammering of a handpan.

Paid immediately and completed the order, got an order number, but no confirmation email! The next day got a very unprofessional email asking if I wanted my item as theyll not send it until i responded? Even though I had paid and they received the money!!

@jimmlygoodness yes I bought a D Kurd 17 note from asthman Direct and received zero receipt from them as proof of purchase or order confirmation. Raised an online dispute via PayPal who were fast to act, As Teman then communicated and confirmed the item was on its way, I will give them 100% on effort as it arrived 7 days after considering china and that area were suffering horrendous flooding from a hurricane at the time. All the notes on top are OK, one note underneath is a bit off, but im super happy. 700£ is a bargain for a 17 note D Kurd and it's solid. I play 2 hours daily average and I've made 2 of my own tunes already 🙃. Thanks for asking. I've advised AsTeman to improve their communication and their service would be perfect if fixed.

You definitely were not scammed. I see where the confusion comes from. This scale is more expensive (1400) vs. the D-minor, which is 600 dollars. But the emphasis is on the build quality that this company provides. I will add an annotation to the video to make sure this is more obvious.
