A real bargain

Due to the intricate craftsmanship and lengthy tuning process that goes into their manufacture, it is anything but unusual for handpans to come with a four-figure price tag. The Startone Handpan D Celtic A=432Hz, on the other hand, puts the same level of manufacturing quality and excellent sound within the reach of players who are on a more restricted budget. The model shown here is tuned to D Celtic, which is one of the most popular tunings for handpans and centers around the fundamental note of D – the lowest note of the handpan and its harmonic core. Arranged around the perimeter are eight additional tone fields with the notes A, C, D, E, F, G, A and C. The Startone Handpan produces a distinctive and captivating sound that can be described as warm, melodic and calming, and meditative.

Startone Handpan with case

Versatile and distinctive

The D minor scale of the Startone Handpan D Celtic A=432Hz is suitable for open harmonies and can be played intuitively The handpan can be used in various musical genres and is suitable for both meditative moods and more lively, rhythmic pieces. It is crafted from nitrided steel, a material that gives it a warm and "ceramic" sonic character and is responsive to light striking and allows players to explore dynamics while also contributing to shorter sustain for a nuanced, clear sound without excessive overlap of tones. However, nitrided steel is somewhat more prone to corrosion compared to stainless steel, so it is important to take good care of the handpan, always playing it with clean, dry hands and making sure that it is not stored in humid environments.

An intuitive playing experience

The nine tone fields on the Startone Handpan D Celtic A=432Hz are arranged to form a melodic scale, enabling players to create exciting melodies and harmonies without prior musical knowledge. Indeed, beginners can explore tones and melodies without feeling overwhelmed by complex structures. Handpans encourage players to create their own music and embark on a journey of discovery without strict rules, and since there are essentially no "wrong" notes to play, even simple sequences result in immediate rewards, motivating continued practice and improvement in technique. Advanced players will also find the Startone Handpan suitable for percussive, rhythm-focused playing thanks to its unique material properties.

The brand's mission is to always provide the motivated beginner with a reliable, good-quality first instrument at an unbeatable price.

From solo gigs to yoga retreats

The Startone Handpan D Celtic A=432Hz is a fascinating solo instrument and with its soft sound and the 432Hz tuning, which is considered to be particularly calming, it is ideal for meditative purposes or relaxation practices. However, it cannot be combined with other acoustic instruments such as guitar, flute or percussion, as these are usually tuned to 440Hz. Many people use handpans in yoga sessions and group meditation sessions as well as in the fields of wellness and cultural events. Because of their portability, handpans are equally ideal for street performances and playing in public spaces, where their enchanting sound is sure to captivate listeners and spread a positive vibe. The Startone Handpan even comes with a durable backpack case for safe transportation, along with a stand and cleaning cloth, making this an unbeatable all-in-one package.

Le handpan que j'ai reçu est identique à celui de la photo, je le trouve esthétiquement beau. C'est la première fois que j'achète un handpan et que j'en joue. La prise en main a été un peu plus difficile que ce que je pensais. Après 24 heures et un peu de pratique, j'ai pu obtenir un meilleur son, donc le produit est de qualité pour son prix. En effet, j'ai failli le retourner car je ne savais pas si le problème venait de mon niveau de débutante ou de la qualité, car je n'ai pas de point de comparaison. Je pensais qu'il manquait le chiffon et le support, mais je les ai finalement retrouvés le lendemain dans le fond du carton. Il est aussi livré avec une housse qui est pratique pour le transporter. Je voulais surtout un instrument intuitif, divertissant et apaisant et j'hésitais avec des bols (peut-être mon prochain achat...). Finalement, je vais le garder et continuer de progresser. Je souhaitais souligner la qualité du service client, leur efficacité, leur rapidité... Je les ai contactés plusieurs fois, pour un échange de produit avant l'envoi, car j'avais commandé un autre handpan à la base, puis pour un retour quand j'ai pensé qu'il y avait un problème de son... Merci Thomann, c'est très agréable d'acheter chez vous. Le service de livraison UPS aussi était parfait.
