Starter Handpans (Generation 4) in Red (Long-Scaled)

 

The Generation 4 Handpan has evolved from several previous models, now offering an even greater coverage and control of notes and frequencies. People choose our Generation 4 Handpan usually if they have a certain budget or if they feel they don’t need to spend over $1000 on their first handpan.

  • Notes: 9 & 12
  • Color (various models have been added over the years, all of which that are available are those shown in the images here)
  • Dimensions: 24 X 57 cm / 9.4″ X 24.4″ (height x diameter)
  • Scale: D Kurd, Amara, Pygmy, Sabye, Hijaz, Equinox, Gong, Pentatonic Major.
  • Bag: Softcase (with the option to add a Hardcase – at a discount – separately)

If you’re looking for a handpan and need help on choosing one for you (we know that all the many options can be confusing!) then have a quick read of our best tips on how to find your handpan here!

All handpans are “Made To Order” unless they are already being held in storage. Therefore, please allow 1-3 weeks for production to delivery as your handpan is made from new.

Tuning Aspects

The 9 Note D Kurd Handpan Generation 4 is tuned no differently to any of our other D Kurd Minor scale Handpans however, you will notice that our Generation 4 Handpans have a particular finesse and intonation when playing quietly. The Generation 4 Handpans are ideal for any quieter setting that requires a little more delicacy or gentleness yet without losing the beauty of the instrument’s sound. Not the best for projection but ideal for smaller get-togethers. Check out our Generation 3 Handpans if you looking for projection or our Generation 7 Handpans if you are looking for something with even more resonance and sustain.

Powder-Coated Handpans

Our powder-coated handpans are heat-fused onto the handpan in what would typically be considered an added layer of protection in other metal industries but in the case of our handpans is purely for aesthetic purposes, opening up a whole new range of colorful handpans to choose from – particularly for our entry-level and most affordable models, the Generation 4s. The powder-coating does not adversely affect the sound in any way and if anything, adds an additional layer of protection against the elements – just checkout Ethereal in E’s many colored-handpans-in-water (our powder-coated Generation 4 handpans!) videos to see what we mean! Powder-coating is different to Hydro-dipped-coating whose colors and designs are little more complex and which we reserve only for our Generation 7 models here.

Colors

Love my Nova Handpan!

When I started my journey of looking to purchase a handpan, NovaPan grabbed my attention. I purchased a 9 note, Celtic Gen 4 pan. The sound is beautiful! The staff is friendly and will help you in choosing the pan that's right for you! And many artists use this brand. I can't wait to get another one! Happy playing!!! -Angel

Lockdown success

Novapans started me on my handpan journey with a discounted mode and were very helpful with getting one to me quick as they could. It was much appreciated. The instrument still plays well 4 years later sounds great at home and outside

12 Note Handpan in D Kurd

The A12 Note Handpan in D Kurd from Nova Pans has been nothing short of life-changing for me. The moment my hands touch this beautifully crafted instrument, it becomes more than just a tool to create music; it becomes a bridge to balance my emotions and feelings. The tones resonate deeply within me, offering not only a path to self-expression but also a means to find peace amidst the chaos of life.

Nova Pans has truly mastered the art of handpan creation, blending sound and craftsmanship in such a way that it feels like the music emanating from the instrument has healing powers. It allows me to dive deeper into my own reflections, bringing out an inner calm that connects me to the world around me, almost as if the handpan carries the whispers of nature. This is an instrument that speaks to anyone, regardless of musical ability or background.

For anyone seeking a cheat code to a state of calmness, reflection, or a way to explore their inner world, I would wholeheartedly recommend NovaPans. In a world where perfection is impossible, the handpans created by Nova Pans come as close as one can get. Massive props and shoutout to the guys and gals at NovaPans for the craft and the love!

Can recommend

As a previous owner of an original Swiss handpan I was looking for an affordable alternative in matters of sound and resonance. The communication with Novapans, the order process and shipment was reasonable. Packaging was excellent and I really appreciate the added stand. The handpan is well made, easy to play and has a satisfying sound.
Btw the sound sample videos on the website are authentic and helped me to decide which model and key to get.

Great quality, beautiful pan

I purchased a 9-note D Hijaz which sounds amazing and mystic, the quality is great. I had some initial trouble with shipping towards the end of COVID but the owner was responsive and helpful.
