You may want to consider taking off both links. The first link has some kind of link to something that makes it look like you want some kind of contest, but it doesn’t even want you to exit out of it as it’s almost holding you hostage I had to do a hard close just to get out of it, it almost looks like some kind of sick adware. The second link you have for someone interested in buying that brand of handpan can’t buy anything because the company is completely shut down so I just wanted to bring it to your attention so you don’t waste peoples time clicking on either one of those links because it’s just a big waste of time
If you're a maker you're constantly solving problems to get something manufactured, functioning, or look the right way. It's a "Eureka!" moment and it feels great. Not just in the achievement for your project, but in finally getting that itch scratched.
The original steel drums were hammered by hand. It's unlikely that the original Hang was made by hammer as the company PANArt was experimenting with tuned steel and had experience in forming, so likely they produced them as in this video. Copycats may have reverted to the hammer method. I was looking into this recently, hence I am here. I was surprised by the hydro forming as I had expected both sides to be simply pressed therefore giving a consistent product that (if the stock steel was consistent enough) could require little to no tuning.
most of the process is still done by hammers, deep draw and hydroform only form the shell, all architecture, shaping, and tuning is still done with hammers.
The one I have now is nothing like yours a friend of mine gave it to me because he did not know how to use it or play it and make the sound come out it was my first time playing it and I fell in love with the instrument but when I found out how much it cost I knew I could not replace the one I have I use this instrument to bring peace to my community I love your work and I love the way you make the note sound so clear thank you for your service
Watch in 5 minutes how a Handpan is made during a two weeks process with hundreds of dollars of high-tech tools by a 20 years experience metal worker.... should be the right title...
This is an exquisite glimpse into the artistry of Symphonic Steel. I'm fortunate enough to have one of these instruments. Thank you, Sean! You are a master.
Also, don't forget these handspans need to get into an oven for about 5 times and need to be tuned every time it comes out, so that the instrument hardens and won't get out of tune too quickly after someone buys it
This is a pretty sweet craft. I just think the title should be changed to "tuned by hand." Either way, such a cool gift to offer the world. I have a hand pan on the way from another company and I am just consumed by all the hand pan videos. Cheers and heath.
And the best thing is, if you have a nervous twitch or spasming condition, you can still do this from the comfort of you own home, using only kitchen utensils and gardening equipment.
Just Beautiful! Thank you... These magnificent Instruments are a labor of total Love! Not many know of how much goes into this process in making and one of the most ethereal instruments ever to be heard. #handpanjunkies #432hz
Even though the music in the video was very nice, I really would have appreciated hearing the tuning of the pan, what the "hammering" sounded like and what difference it made.
"gun blue', 'browning oil', there are many metal patinas and etches - look for JAX or Sculpt Nouveau. It might look like it but it is not cheap or easy to get a perfect finish.
Hello . I would like to make my own handpan. In my country is not available and its pretty expensive for me to buy. Can you please give me some advice ? If you have time I would like to ask you some details. Thank you in advance.
Awesome I've been working on setting up to be a maker in Naples N.Y. for a long time now I'm wondering if you have time to take a few questions now and then it's a hard thing to get knowledge on as you must know THANKS
@@AmberShireCentrum thanks for texting back ya I never get help even though all I here is how loving and sharing the community is I guess I pay my dues and then I get answers
@@meditationdrumartprojectca4835 I am making Steel Pans (sometimes known as Steel Drum). The community has been a lot more open (not always though) but because I am not stepping on any business toes where I am. When u make hang however, you can literally take orders from anywhere in the world - and the more makers there are, the more the price will be driven down and they don't want that. At the moment it's 3 times the price of a Steel Pan and 1/5 the work (a goodSteel pan can have 32 notes on it). It's all about the business and keeping the Monopoly so if you wanna do it, you gotta teach yourself I guess.
It's called a plasma table. It uses plasma to cut the steel. I don't know what brand that is. But they are really ubiquitous, so you can easily find one the right size for you if you wanted one.
Look at the amount of work that goes into it. Look at the cost of that machinery. Look at the time which goes into each instrument. Of course they're expensive.
I am curios, why the long process, why not to make one press which already makes it 99% tuned and in a very cheap way could be mass produced, just by pressing it from the disk
so far it hasn't been done well, anything pressed tends to sound bad and not stay in tune. The shells are often deep drawn or hydroformed, but the rest is very fine work and every choice greatly effects the end sound and stability of the instrument. Doesn't matter how good it sounds either, if it doesnt stay in tune, which sadly many of the pans on the market are like, going out of tune very quickly

The fine tuning is all done by hand. When you see all aspects of the business and build it’s in insane amount of work with a fair bit of overhead. To me it’s amazing that anyone builds these well. There is a lot of low quality builders with high margins, but most of the builders I know are working very hard for a pretty modest income that is incredibly hard on the body. It’s not nearly as profitable as people think. It’s is most definitely most often a la our of love. This is one style of building shown here. Often there is also a lot of shaping and hammering in addition to everything shown hear.
@@cj1614 if you ever decide you want to dive in, check out Xenith. Thats a friend of mine, building super high quality for $999. Symphonic steel has a budget line also in the same ballpark. I understand...its not a cheap art form to enter but man....it is fun and super rewarding. wish you the best :)
HI I LOVE THE SOUND OF THE INSTRUMENT WHAT WILL IT COST TO HAVE TWO SEND TO MY ADDRESS IN NASSAU BAHAMAS I AM A STEEL DRUMMER AND A PERCUSSIONIST. I WILL LOVE TO ADD THIS TO MY LIVE PERFORMANCE. NEED TO KNOW HOW MUCH WILL IT COST THANKS
So that is called the linguistic ambiguity, yah, you mean (the video of) "How to Build a Handpan" (that is fast-forwarded) in 5 Minutes, not "How to Build a Handpan in 5 Minutes" Brilliant.
I have seen and played hundreds of fine and poor quality instruments made from both total hand, and with the aid of tools and computers. its a funny thing our biasis with "handmade". If people understands how complicated the process of building a instrument like this really is, I think they would appreciate all aspects of the craft more. That is part of the reason for this video. I don't think people realize that the builders build almost all of their tools themselves also, and the incredible attention, skill and craft that that requires. I also know some of the best builders who don't even use pneumatic hammers and are in incredible pain in their 40's or 50's, and perhaps the world will lose another 20-30 years of great instruments had they used some tools to help. In this case it doesn't seem to make a bit of difference to the sound. in fact having the right tool for the job creates consistencies that most often produce better instruments. Where do we draw the line? Some of the best instruments are made by a process of nitriding, which is a specialized heat treatment process which involves a ton of chemistry, math, computers, and tech. What about how the sheets of steel are produced. Tons of computation goes into that as well. Would you have them forge there steel as well? Craftsmanship isn't defined by which tools are used, it is defined by the character and skill of the builders and the quality of the sound produced by the finished instrument. Durability and stability of the note is also important. I can tell you that from the inventors of this instrument to some of the best builders today who have been assisted by computer aided tech, there is still a insane level of love and care that goes into the instrument. This is not true for all producers, there are skilled and unskilled people everywhere. Thats just people, not tools.
So you choose the easy way Building a pan by Hydroforming...………. that way you recieve a bowl with different thickness for the outline to the Center! :D
agreed! I was very new to filming and I had only a few hours to catch an entire build process, we didnt have time to block each shot, did the best I could with cheap cameras, limited knowledge, and no gimbal

Excellent tutorial my friend, I managed to create my own homemade Handpan in 5 minutes after watching this.
🤣🤣
on top of it, that's a weird way of summing up the time and work the people put into it. But cool, at least I've my handpan made in 5 mins :p
Sadly, I will not be ordering one because I too, made my own. 😏
ROFL LMAO HAHAHAHAHAA
😂😂😂💀💀💀
I succeeded in building a handpan in just 5 minutes by watching this video.
Thank you 💕
🤣🤯 nicely done!
Mythbusters inspired this new manufacturing process. These drums used to be made with hammers.
New LOL, hydroforming process is widely used for more than a half a century. Why are they used hammers?
If you're a maker you're constantly solving problems to get something manufactured, functioning, or look the right way. It's a "Eureka!" moment and it feels great. Not just in the achievement for your project, but in finally getting that itch scratched.
@@MrDehicka because hammers existed longer. What do u mean why?

didn't know i could make one in just 5 minutes! thanks!
lmao seriously tho i need a handpan
Good luck! I how you do get one. It is life changing. if you need any advice or direction getting one or have any questions, your welcome to ask me 🤓🤗
You make my head spin by this bad speed video!!
How to make a handpan in 5 minutes *with 5000 tools*
And part of it in fastforward...
$5.000 or $50.000 ?
Yeah, if you got hydraulic press then you can have it in 5 minutes :D
Haha, that's what i thought.
I doubt even that's possible tbh
It's Pneumatic. You can get them at Harbor Freight if you're in the US.
Ha! make a cheap DIY press! not so hard... and a DIY hammer...

comming from a pressure washer lol

Wow, I have tried making my own but no luck. You make the magic happen.
The title should be, 'How a Hand-Pan is made in five minutes !' ..when you said build, I presumed we could make one at home !!
Dude, it's a joke
and here i thought i was going to stumble upon a new project to try. i am speechless, bravo guys, bravo. maybe a project for on down the line.

Beautiful instrument indeed. Looks easy to play
easy to play but hard to master is the best way to describe it
Can’t believe anyone would give this a thumbs down. Great video! You’ve given me some great new ideas.
Thanks so much
Who is playing the song? Would love to see video of this performed!
Thanks man, its one of my improvs, I don't have the original footage, just audio, but I have other jams on this channel
Wow! What an operation. The man has it happening.
Right! Sean is a brilliant builder with a rock solid work ethic 👌🙂
Hold the camera still please. I’m having a seizure.
Hahahaha
:))))
Impressive!!
Which handpan is being played in the background?
I honestly don’t remember, it was whatever Iskra instrument Sean had in the shop at the moment 🤷🏽♂️
Even though the music in the video was very nice, I really would have appreciated hearing the tuning of the pan, what the "hammering" sounded like and what difference it made.

Thank you for sharing!
my pleasure :)
Hi, awesome video, i have one question, What kiln he uses?
If you have answer i’ m very interesting :)
That looks like the one I had when I made pottery so it's probably a high 12/13 cone kiln
4:19 what is the stuff that he is applying on the pan? and does the color come from it or from the hardening? or from both of it?
"gun blue', 'browning oil', there are many metal patinas and etches - look for JAX or Sculpt Nouveau. It might look like it but it is not cheap or easy to get a perfect finish.
What do you put at the tip of your tuning hammer? Thanks !
Wow! I'm faszinated!!!
I know the feeling! the art form has sucked me in for 10 yrs now and I dont think there is any escape for me LOL

Hello!
Handpan 360 What is the caliber of the metal?
very cool instruments. I still wonder what part of the process makes them so expensive though
exclusivity. that's what is is. very few people make them
Look at the amount of work that goes into it. Look at the cost of that machinery. Look at the time which goes into each instrument. Of course they're expensive.
Time. Time is the most expensive ingredient in any process, as it cannot be bought or traded back for anything.
How much would a hang drum cost?
How much to buy one ....I am poor but I love the sound ..must have
What scale is this song in?
Great craftsmanship! Feedback: I kinda get sick from the fast camera movement :-D
I made one in 3 minutes. Beat that!
😆😆😆🤘🤘🤘🤯
Can hear Peter's unique playing style anywhere. :)

Normal price for a handpan is 1200/2000$ if it's not a collector that is. If it is then your looking at about 2500/10k
But why are they as expensive as a cheap car? It's not like they are hand forged and hammered. What is the profit margin?

5 MINUTES?! Hah

How to Build an Handpan in 5 Minutes, if you are Tony Stark...

Would be nice to just see the video instead of all this jumpy movement
I ended up here because the title was click bait...but I stayed for the background music.
Thanks, I appreciate it.
toda esa calibración para que al final le pongan la tremenda marca encima jajaaja igual me gustaria tener uno =(
When doing a time lapse video/fast forward, the camera should really be standing still.
This was nearly unwatchable.
agreed! I was very new to filming and I had only a few hours to catch an entire build process, we didnt have time to block each shot, did the best I could with cheap cameras, limited knowledge, and no gimbal
Couldn’t do this at home

I wonder what their firm's income is?
Someone teach that kid about ppe. He should atleast have on safety squints.
rename to: How to make a hangdrup in 5 minutes with equipment that cost you both kidneys + change
