Hang drums, popularly known as handpans, are a new percussion instrument that is becoming increasingly popular worldwide. Its unique sound, which blends the musicality of a steel drum with the richness of bass and percussion, has earned it a place in many musical compositions. The demand for hang drums has led to an increasing number of manufacturers and sellers offering different handpan models to potential buyers.
Factors to Consider:
Choosing a hang drum that suits your needs can be challenging. Here are some of the essential factors to consider:1. Price:
Hang drums are not only unique in sound, but they are also unique in price. The cost of different hang drums varies significantly based on factors such as materials used, manufacturing process, and the seller's location. At the lowest price, you may find a beginner-level hang drum, which may not have the best sound quality. On the other hand, high-end instruments may sound fantastic, but the price tag may be prohibitive. To ensure you find an affordable hang drum, start by setting a budget, and then do your research on available options beforehand. You can also consider purchasing a second-hand hang drum from a reputable seller. However, be cautious when buying used instruments since they may have defects that can affect its sound quality.2. Size and Weight:
Hang drums come in various sizes and weights. The size and weight can affect the sound quality and portability of the instrument. A smaller and lighter instrument may produce a less deep and dynamic sound, while larger and heavier instruments produce the inverse. Moreover, if you plan to move around with the hang drum frequently, go for a lighter version. On the other hand, if you plan to keep the instrument in one location, the weight of the hang drum becomes less crucial.3. Quality:
The quality of the handpan will affect the sound quality and durability of the instrument. Hang drums are handcrafted, and different manufacturers have different standards of quality. You should check for dents, scratches, and cracks in the instrument as they can affect the sound quality. You can also scrutinize the instrument's finish, which should be smooth and free from any blemishes, paint drips or inconsistencies.4. Tuning:
Handpans are generally tuned to a particular scale. Some of the popular scales include the major scale, the pentatonic scale, and the minor scale. The tuning of the instrument will ultimately determine the range of notes that you can play. If you are a beginner, you may prefer a handpan that has a limited number of notes.5. Volume:
The volume of the handpan can also affect its playability. Some handpans are quieter than others, which can be great for a beginner who wants to learn the instrument. On the other hand, some handpans can produce loud sounds that can be suitable for performances.6. Customer Reviews:
Reading customer reviews can help you identify potential issues and highlight the pros and cons of each handpan model. Reviews are a fantastic resource that can help you make an informed decision that meets your needs and budget.Conclusion:
If you are looking to purchase a handpan, taking the time to consider these factors will help you find an instrument that meets your needs. A high-quality handpan is essential to provide great sound quality and longevity of enjoyment. With some of the valuable tips we’ve discussed, you can make an informed decision on which handpan model would best suit you, your budget, and your skill level.Related Topics You Might Like
