Question 2

Is my instrument compatible with the course?

Accepted Answer

| As long as you have a central note on the top of your instrument, it is 100% compatible with my courses!

|| If you own a Tongue Drum (especially a RAV) and you're a beginner player : the RAV Vast course will be great for you.

If you don't have the same number of notes, have a look at this video :

If you have different scale on your instrument, have a look at this video :

${youtube}

|| Note : If you don't have a central note (ding), there is a way around it that some of my students use: they replace the central note with the lowest note. This works well for them. If this is the case for you, you can try this technique.

Question 3

I would like to buy a handpan, but I don't know how to choose one or where to get one from.

Accepted Answer

**Choosing your first handpan is not always easy, so I recommend you read my articles on this subject : **

• How to choose a handpan • How to choose the scale of your instrument • What to look for in a good quality handpan

Once you have read the first 3 articles, I suggest you take a look at this worldwide directory of handpan makers. You will find a description and all the details you need for each one : • The list of handpan makers across the world (non-exhaustive, but nearly!)

| HANDPAN PRIVATE SALE : If you feel overwhelmed by the conflicting advice and information available out there, I can help choose your handpan. I will soon be launching Handpan Private Sales. Be sure to subscribe here : https://www.masterthehandpan.com/shop/buy-handpan

Question 4

Is the course compatible with a RAV?

Accepted Answer

If you own a RAV Vast, we have a dedicated course for you !

RAV Vast and the handpan are "cousins" instruments but David created a course just for RAV players in order to address the specificities of this instrument :)

Question 6

Is it a problem if I don't have the same scale as you?

Accepted Answer

| YES, It is completely possible to follow the course even if you don't have the same scale as me.

${youtube}I don't have the same scale as you. Is your course compatible?

In fact, most of my students don't have the same scale and I had to find a solution due to the thousands of different scales available.

I would have had to own thousands of instruments (yes, please! 😃) and film thousands of tutorials (impossible 😃)… That's why I designed a course that can be adapted to all handpans, whatever the scale.

Of course, there will be dissonance when you play along with me, but the aim of the course is to teach you rhythms and movements so that you can learn to play them by yourself.

The "dissonance" will only last for the first few times. You'll see that, very quickly, you will turn off the sound and work without me! What's more, the aim of my lessons is not to copy the same notes (the same tune) as me, but rather to apply the movements and exercises to your own instrument.

This is actually a great way to boost your creativity!
