Handpan? Handpan!
So for my birthmonth I was going to finally get, after years of wanting one, a handpan. While I was looking, I bid on I really really liked, and then the guy removed the auction. Then I found out there is a company who will be making electronic handpans, which I thought "that's silly, but look at all these ways it is better than a real handpan. Then I was sad, such an expensive instrument that can only play in one key and thought, "I shouldn't get one."
And then my favorite affordable handpan maker on ebay posted this handpan. And I decided I could likely resell it for as much or more than I bid, so I bid, thinking I knew his reserve was less than my bid. Except it wasn't.
So a plywood crate arrived today with a handpan in it. So now I own a handpan! The musical instrument addiction continues.
It came on a somewhat bad depression day, so I'm fighting with myself, knowing full well part of why I buy new instruments is I'm trying to feel special and wanted, deep down.
Part of it is it's harder to play than I expected. The tongue drum I have is some what easier to hit the notes.
I uploaded video on my youtube channel, but I'm not that thrilled with it, so I won't post it here.
