This is a brand new Spacedrum handpan/hangpan. It is a chromatic instrument unlike most other handpans which use a variation of set scales but not chromatic allowing you the ability to be more creative with this beautiful instrument. It takes approximately 10 to 12 months to get this instrument directly from the manufacturer and its here for you to have now. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. The information provided below is information from the Metalsounds website with information regarding the instrument.      The chromatic Spacedrum© is, until now, the only instrument from the Hang©, Hapi Drum©, Garrahand© family recently created to propose a complete chromatic scale! Bigger than the diatonic and pentatonic models, it has 13 notes which really open new horizons to the musicians. It's no more necessary to buy several instruments to build a chromatic scale! This model can be put on a stand or on your laps despite it's a bit larger than its little brothers. The chromatic scale induce a new notes layout on the top (with four notes) which requires a little mental gymnastic to control the instrument.      Thanks to a long research & development work in partnership with an engineering high school we’re happy to release the 4th generation Spacedrum, made out of a special stainless alloy. The properties of this special alloy are particularly adapted for the outdoor playing: totally rustproof, even in the extrem climates, hard enough to keep the tuning for years (in normal conditions of use). Added to that, the Spacedrum Evolution (4th gen) develops more sustain and more sound volume while respecting the Spacedrum original sound. This instrument is fragile and needs to be protected when it's not played. Our bags are specially designed for a good protection of the Spacedrum.   With the chromatic Spacedrum you can explore all the harmonic possibilities of any kind of music! The chromatic scale is: C4 C#4 D4 Eb4 E4 F4 F#4 G4 G#4 A4 Bb4 B4 C5      Played with hands Technical settings: Raw: Steel Diameter: 23.6 in (60 cm) Dome hight: 5.2 in (13 cm) Bottom hight: 3.15 in (8 cm) Weight: around 7 kg (15.4 lb) Number of notes: 13 Damper: removable rubber joint that reduces harmonics and sustain... Surface treatment: thermal   => A reinforced bag and a pot of wax are included with your Spacedrum (thank you to specify the color of your bag when you order: Blue - Red wine - Brown)   Maintenance: wax (one pot is included with each Spacedrum).
