2. I’m a beginner. Can I play with hands?
Handpan is played with hands for a softer sound, it is easy because it made of thin steel.
Regarding tongue drum - it can be played with hands and sticks both (sticks are included), but for beginners it may take some time to understand the technique of hands playing, this is a special blow, not just a touch. So, for a start you can use sticks and bit by bit move on to playing with hands. With regular practice it will not take you more than a week.

3. What’s difference between Tongue drum and Handpan?
Handpans are made of thin steel (up to 1.3 mm) and have embossed tonal fields with a soft sound. Tongue drum can be made of steel up to 3 mm and has cut tongues, which have a clearer percussion sound.
The advantages of a tongue drum its durability, compactness and price. While a handpan requires careful handling and a bigger budget - it creates a special charm with its sound.

4. Does the colour affect sound?
The sound is affected by many factors, such as geometry of the shells, the mark of steel and even width of the sound zone.
If you like an instrument with a textured coating - of course, micro thickness of coating will add a little "dryness" to drum vibrations  while a clean surface will be more ringing. But this is a very insignificant difference and should not affect your choice. The sound meets our high standards - you can choose the color and style that suits you best. Sound quality comes first.

5. What’s difference between sizes?
Main rule is: The bigger size - the deeper sound. But it has to balance for you as the larger size adds weight. You can choose between 28, 38 or 48cm - All 3 sizes are in stock.
