Love it!! Sorry for the late comment — it’s a cool way to experience another side of your instrument — the same hand motions will make new sounds🙌🛸✨ And you have a nice flow going here 😁🤙 Would love to hear how it’s all going a month later 🙏

@Lisa Carton oh wow incredible Lisa!!! Congratulations and welcome to the handpan family — finally!! 😂🥳🙌🛸✨❤️ Isthmus is a great builder and D Celtic 10 is an awesome scale to work with 🙌 How is it going so far? What are the biggest things you’re looking to learn / improve in your playing at this early stage?

@Bassam Alaujan Love this intro brother 🙏❤️ “Space holder at heart” really says it all. I can already see how naturally the handpan fits alongside the coaching, breathwork + community work you’re already doing — another way to create space for people to slow down, connect and explore. And playing that D Kurd out in the desert at sunset / under the stars sounds pretty magical 😁🙌🛸✨ Glad you’re here man — really excited to see where you take this!

@Joy Balsam thanks for being here Joy! Was so great to meet you at the intro lesson @ Hamsa Handpans — can’t wait to hear what you create (once you get your pan)🙌🛸✨

@Mind Wonder love this 🙌🛸✨ The handpan really is perfect for both kinds of days — somewhere to put whatever you’re feeling and turn it into music When you’re ready to choose your first one, I’d be happy to help you narrow down the scale + instrument so you end up with something you’ll really love playing

Hey Kerem! I checked it out — thanks for sharing 🙌 I love the enthusiasm and the mysterious energy with the lighting, mask, and outfit. You’ve definitely got a whole vibe going 😄 A couple things I’d explore that I think could immediately help your playing and get a nicer sound out of the handpan: 1. Try using a much lighter touch. Handpan is really about finesse rather than power. You only need a gentle, quick tap to activate the note, and it looks/sounds like you’re over-striking the instrument quite a bit here. Totally normal when you’re figuring out the instrument — finding that balance between getting a clear note and using the least amount of force possible takes some practice. I break down exactly how I approach the basic stroke in Module 1 of Handpan Basics here inside Handpan Skool, which you have access to for free. I’d spend a little time there and then come back to this same idea and see how different it feels. 2. Start paying attention to your pulse and musical cycles. Unless you’re intentionally experimenting with an odd time signature — in which case ignore me 😄 — if you’re aiming for standard 4/4 time, I’d work on feeling/counting the pulse and making sure your musical ideas consistently return to the beginning of the cycle on beat 1. That little bit of structure will make what you’re playing feel much more grounded while still leaving you plenty of room to improvise and flow. Module 1 of Handpan Basics also walks through counting musical time, and lesson 1.9 introduces my Return to Home Framework (and a simple groove), which is specifically designed to help with this. One other thing: from the recording, it sounds like the handpan itself may be fairly out of tune. That can make the sound feel harsher or less settled even when your technique is good, so just keep in mind that you may be working against the instrument a little bit too. But you’ve clearly got plenty of energy and willingness to explore. I’d focus first on lighter touch + steady timing, then keep building from there 🤙🛸✨
