Hello my Friends!
In this eye-opening video, I delve into the world of handpans , reviewing the cheapest Temu Handpan I could find. A supposedly affordable option priced at just $140. (with some sketch coupon I used. 180 before that)
Join me as I uncover the truth behind its disappointing quality and explore why it falls short despite its low price.
I purchased this handpan myself, as many of you have asked about the quality of the cheapest handpans online.
I'll share my honest assessment of its craftsmanship, revealing flaws that compromise its overall performance and leave you underwhelmed.
One significant letdown we discuss is the Temu Handpan's flat back shell. While it may seem like a unique feature, we'll explain why it actually hinders the instrument's playability and limits its sonic potential. Discover how this design choice contributes to the low cost of the handpan, but at the expense of a fulfilling musical experience.
Join me on this thought-provoking journey as we uncover the truth behind the Temu Handpan's affordability and reveal the compromises made in its construction. Whether you're considering purchasing a handpan or simply curious about this specific model, this video offers an essential perspective.
I encourage you to share your thoughts in the comments section and engage in a meaningful discussion.
Don't forget to subscribe to my channel for more honest reviews, critical analysis, and alternative options for high-quality musical instruments.
Stay informed and make the right choices for your musical journey.
Despite the quality issues, it is still a playable, semi in tune handpan for that price.
Still better than my first handpan 8 years ago! haha :)
Enjoy friends and remember

To an amateur like me, it still sounds pretty good for $140. Especially if you don't have two grand for a real one.

@ReWildYourSoul 7 месяцев назад

Agreed. Thought for just a bit more, there are some good options!

Well put! That said, even not so great pans can make music! Fun to explore and share some of the products students are asking me about! Thanks for watching 🙏🎶

My daughter and I bought a coupla cheapies from eBay and Temu. One was definitely better tuned than the other, but they were absolutely fabulous to learn on. We had no fear of damaging a very expensive drum when trying out more aggressive percussive styles, and we have had some awesome fun trying out different stuff and learning new things. That being said, all the while we were saving for better instruments and finally invested in some quality handpans and tongue drums. I know many would say you should buy the absolute best instrument you can afford, but a good drum is a big investment and if you’re not even sure handpans are your thing, definitely have a crack on one these cheaper handpans. They are also good for young ones to have a go on too … 😁

@sonyboybluespower 11 месяцев назад

Nah i believe people here are too picky. For the price sounds pretty good considering what a good quality one cost. Wont do a c9ncert with it but to chill and play is good enough

@ReWildYourSoul 11 месяцев назад

Agreed!

@butwhytho4858 8 месяцев назад

Wow absolutely agreed. I’ve looked at saving for a good one since 2019. It’s almost 2024 and I still cant save more than $300 at a time. I’m glad I came across this. Talented player and comprehensive, intelligent, relatable review. I’ve noticed a great musician can make any instrument sing. The only caveat involves where/why the musician is playing. If it’s out camping with friends or kids, this fits the setting better; making a RU-vid channel and/or playing professionally, this would be an absolute mockery of a quality pan’s existence. Thanks for sharing!

@MissionSilo 7 месяцев назад

Sounds ok but tongue drums are a better option. At that range. Right?

@cpm9747 Год назад

Going through the notes one-by-one, I winced at a couple of them, but your playing is definitely still pleasant. I think that's more a testament to your skill than to the interest. Maybe not a bad investment for someone who isn't really sure they want a handpan but wants to try one out.

@ReWildYourSoul Год назад

Agreed! Player defines quality, as much as the instrument does. Thanks for listening!

@intuivity2694 Год назад

I was eyeballing one of the temu pans even though I have a Rav Vast. I do volunteer work with children as well as hospice. They always want to try playing, which I absolutely encourage! And there is always some anxiety around damaging my Vast. I think something like this would be a great compromise to let people play in without potentially accidentally damaging my personal drum. Thanks for the review! Always love your content and grooves!

@ReWildYourSoul Год назад

Thankfully, aside from the coating, the Rav is indestructible! 😉🎶 I do think as a cheap throw in the car or let people try instrument, it’s not too bad!

@Amy-qr9jf Месяц назад

Maybe we can help you, because I come from the factory where this handpan is produced. This is just a very cost-effective handpan we produce for junior scholars. We also have very good quality and affordable prices.

@user-uo6ov2yi7e 10 месяцев назад

@ikreate4u 2 месяца назад

FInally! I see the notes of the handpan that I bought. Yes. It was from Temu. Mine seems more in tune than yours but I wanted to know what tuning style it is (kurd, pygmy, etc). I can’t find any tuning models that list my notes which are what you posted. This has made it impossible to play along with tutorials but intuitively it works fine for me as a beginner.

@larzhillbot1443 11 месяцев назад

@ReWildYourSoul 11 месяцев назад

Agreed! For that price, an ok place to start. I think Ravs are a better deal, in terms of longevity, but would atleast give you an idea of how to play!

@BlazingStarEnergycom Год назад

I looked through your videos & dont see it. Thanks for doing these videos BTW. Can you point to handpan manufacturers/models to consider based on price? Another words 'Best handpan forr $500', 'Best $1000 handpan', 'Best $3000 handpan', 'Best $25,000 handpan!!', etc. I'm looking for my first and there's a lot of choice now for the +/- $1000 range. I'm tone deaf so listening to differentiating videos on the sound differences of different handpans in different keys is minimally effective for me. Truth is, I'm feeling a little anxiety about spending this money on a "luxury item", while being sure I have something that's a long-term value. Another video idea?? 'How to purchase a handpan when you're tone deaf'!! Thanks, great work here. Phil

Was thinking about getting the 12-note handpan Temu has on there now. I don't really want to dish out the cash for a more quality one.. Even on Temu it's still more than i'd like to pay for a drum.. Haha since i'm just not a regular player and just want to mess around. Thanks for the review

@2krandolph Месяц назад

As some have already said, anyone who knows anything about hand pans knows they are rather expensive, ranging from $1000 and more. It all started with the hang drum from the Netherlands years ago, which was WAY out of my pocket range. Quality tongue/slit drums are also expensive. This sounds pretty good to me.

@killersmith92 2 месяца назад

Whats the least youd pay for a great one tuned 100% properly and no note bleed between notes i want a high quality one, i may pay close to a grand but idk how much more id be able to afford tho but i want a great long lasting one to learn on to help release stress the sound of these pans and hang drums out there is so calming. I want one perfectly tuned to the different hertz that resonate with our human bodies like the 432hz. Also i would love to know a great sight to find em. Id love to get one from the original origin they were invented in to be honest if possible.

I'm sure you've seen it before yourself, there's a pan that only has 5 notes and isn't tuned at all for about 250$ I'm pretty sure, this is definitely not bad for the price.

Agreed! I saw Davis Beery try to tune one of those. Fo what it is, not bad, but not great. That said, if I was broke and really really wanted one, I would go for it!

I'm surprised mostly that you even received it from temu, regardless of quality. The benefit of having absolutely no musical ability whatsoever, is that that song sounded good to me.

@ReWildYourSoul Год назад

Well the player is 75% of the sound 😉 A good player can extract something beautiful from all quality pans. In general, “better” quality pans often make it easier for players to get a clean sound and experience. That said, even this could be workable, but is never going to sound like a 1k pan. That said, it works!

@benjaminstamper5047 5 месяцев назад

I have wanted to play the handpan for years, but haven’t had the money for it. Of course I can save up for an expensive one, and I’m not comfortable buying the very cheapest because I want a bit more quality so I don’t lose motivation. What are some that you suggest in the ~$500 range? How many notes or in which key is good to start with? I have experience with playing other instruments so I’m not new to music, just the handpan 🥲
