This is so awesome man thank you for sharing! Didge journey is truly epic. Nice job with the handpan portion as well! Heard that timeless play in the opening 👌 🛸✨ sounded like you were jamming in 3/4 for a bit too. Nice job keeping cycles even while you flowed. Keep up the great work🙌

@David Zencominierski music to my ears! 🤗 what has been resonating for you so far? Would love to hear any reflections about what’s been most helpful so far 🙌

Hey @David Zencominierski thanks for your post! I’m sure other people are thinking about this too. From where I stand, it’s total BS - they gave away so many of their trade secrets by way of a manual and even a documentary. Then stopped making the Hang in 2015 (the original line of pans) to keep it rare / prevent it from becoming mainstream They even had some disgruntled past employees who modified the old design to create the modern style “pantam” with sharper note borders + other technical changes / improvements, resulting in a different (in my opinion) superior sounding instrument. Modern handpan builders achieve something the original PanArt / Hang team could only dream of as far as note range (super low to super high), sound character / precision of tuning, and number of notes in many cases. To me this is more a case of jealousy / greed from the OG inventors because they didn’t get a piece of the global pie for having started the movement. But they also never wanted it in the first place. They could have been the kings and queens of a worldwide handpan community but have instead made themselves the bain of the community with this over reach of a lawsuit Thankfully, it is only a handful of builders in the lawsuit being affected by it - mainly Ayasa out of the Netherlands (one of the biggest & most expensive) and big Chinese manufacturers behind Malte Marten’s “Yatao” brand of pans. I think a few builders in countries with strict international patent laws have had to further modify their design (things like moving the bottom port or changing the shape of the pan) to try and get around the claim of patent infringement Most builders worldwide are currently unaffected and business can carry on as usual. This case is also pretty unbased in reality, but the Swiss gov is also behind it for all the tax revenue they stand to gain That said, I don’t see this as the end of handpans. But if you want to donate to help save those few builders at risk from getting shut down, and close the small chance of other builders worldwide being attacked later, definitely do so.
