Not your normal handpan.  This Gongpan is the only pan made of 100% bronze.  An array of bronzes has been used for centuries to make incredible bells, gongs, singing bowls, cymbals, and more.  This idea came to me 5 years ago as I became curious about how a bronze handpan would sound.  I started playing handpans when I acquired my first original from Switzerland in 2004.Each bronze Gongpan is made individually, with many hours of attention to detail.  If you're open to something a little different, more of a true sonic sculpture, the only pan made from bronze, with finely tuned healing tones, check it out.  Made by a musician and Reiki master.Dragon Gongpan/Handpan with 8 notes.  18" diameter, weighs 7.25 ibs,  Comes with a durable, custom made soft-padded backpack case from Namana Bags in Ukraine, and includes a pair of soft-tipped mallets for a softer sound option. Timbre like a set of tuned bells or gongs.  Tuned overtones with clear fundamentals.  Variation of Japanese Ake Bono scale in F:  (F3), C4, D#, F, F#, A#, C5, C#Bronze Gongpan Features:Natural corrosion resistance - no coatings or oils needed to protect the metalSuper-resonant alloy yields strong harmonic overtones and resonanceNatural vibrato Same tonal range as a typical full-size handpanDurability comparable to steelThis 18" diameter design is very light (7.25 lbs) and easy to play and carryMade exclusively in Oregon, USA, by musician and instrument maker Christopher of the WolvesThis instrument is 100% finished and ready to ship.  Video clip below.
