DESCRIPTIONS

Model Description: The Generation 7 Handpan by NovaPansIntroducing the Generation 7 Handpan by NovaPans Handpans. The Generation 7, also known as our "Gen 7" or "Sound Healing Handpan" was first introduced to the NovaPans Store in 2020 and has since swooped the Sound Healing Communities off their feet. People struggle to believe that a handpan, never mind at the price that we make them, can have a sustain that is just that amount longer than others which makes it so majestic, yet warm and rich-sounding. In fact, many first-time buyers end up purchasing even a second and third Generation 7 Handpan to add to their collection!

We have received such high appraisal for the Gen 7s from sound healers, sound journey and meditation holders, and people who just want to take themselves on their own sound-induced meditation or calming effects of the gentle yet fully space-holding frequencies of the Gen 7.Are you looking for a handpan that replicates that resonant yet angelic handpan sound you always hear in those famous handpan videos online? Are you looking for something that really just sounds like you’re hosting a sound ceremony yourself when you play it? If so, then the Generation 7 Handpans are definitely for you.

Color Description: Gold (Polished)

Each of our Generation 7 raw natural colors, the Gold, Gold (Polished), Gold (Striped), Silver, Silver (Polished), and the Crimson are the result of different heat intensities applied to the handpan shells during handpan production. Hydro-Dipped Handpans are slightly different in that they are the raw natural handpan color then masked with a thin layer of PVA offering a greater selection of design options for Generation 7s only. Do note that handpans that are their raw natural color do guarantee a greater sustain over one that has been Hydro-Dipped as the additional layer can create a subtle but present dampening of the original sustain of the Generation 7s. Nonetheless, the sustain on all Generation 7s of all colors is still nothing short of exceptional.

If you thought that the standard Gold colored handpan stood out, then you'll be blown away by the Gold (Polished) model. The Polished Gold Gen 7 is like a glistening nugget of gold itself. I mean, it's very shiny. If you're looking for something that really is magnificent in appearance and complements its equally magnificent song, then the Gold (Polished) model might just be your fancy!

The NovaPans Generation 7 Handpan also comes in all of the following available colors should you be interested: Gold, Gold (Polished), Gold (Striped), Crimson (a copper-reddish color), Silver, Silver (Polished), and hydro-dipped models such as Deep Blue, Turquoise, Prismatic Pink, Kaleidoscope, and Tiger all visible from the Generation 7 Collections page here.

Number of Notes: (9 & 13)

Please note that our 9 Note Handpans above are now Mini Handpans (found here) which are more suited for those wanting a lighter, higher-sounding, and arguably more convenient handpan for playing and moving. The other options, the 10 and 13+ Note handpans are traditional-sized Handpans which you can find in every other handpan video. For Handpans with 9 or 10 Notes, all these notes are visible on the top side of the handpan only while on a 13+ Note (double-sided handpans) you have typically 9 or 10 notes on the top and 4+ on the bottom. If you've opted for a 13+ Note (also called a Mutant Handpan for having so many notes) Handpan, please contact us to specify the personal requests needed so we can get your handpan order exactly how you want it.

Key Description: (Kurd, Amara, Pygmy, Sabye, Hijaz, Halcyon)

Scale: We offer all the available handpan scales such as the Kurd, Celtic, Amara, Pygmy, Sabye, Gonkali, Hijaz, Halcyon in all tonalities starting from as low as F2 including those not mentioned on this page. As with the color selection, if there is a scale of choice you would like but cannot find on our page, please message us and we can custom-make it for you!

You will notice that the Generation 7s come in the largest selection of handpan keys out of all our handpans. This all comes down because the Generation 7s are made out of stainless steel which is metal that has greater control and stability over its shaping, allowing us to reach notes as low as F2 on the scale!

For some, the process of choosing a key can be daunting and even overwhelming so please just message us should you have something personal you would like us to create!

Frequencies Description: (432hz & 440hz)

You may have heard of the 432hz frequency, and if so, then you'll know that most instruments today are tuned to the 440hz and that the 432hz is rather the frequency tuning of nature, or otherwise known as "The Miracle Frequency". Some sceptics claim there to be no difference but like colors on a handpan, frequencies are just as important. In fact, we'd argue even more so. The 444hz handpan is a slightly newer experimental scale. All frequencies have their own healing properties which have richer explanations online.

Dimensions: 24 X 57 cm / 9.4 X 22.4 inches (height x diameter)

Our handpans are the most common size of handpan (not too tall or too wide) but fit nicely and rest comfortably on the lap of an average-sized grown adult. Children or smaller individuals might need assistance with someone just holding the handpan while they are sitting on a chair or just simply putting a cushion on the floor and playing it like that without assistance. If you're looking for a handpan that is smaller in size and therefore more practical to play and also travel with, then you may like to explore our range of Mini Handpans, found here.

Steel: Stainless Steel

Stainless Steel handpans are considered an upgrade to traditional Nitride Steel Handpans (which were the norm from 2000-2020). Stainless Steel has less malleability or in other words, is "stronger" which is the very reason why on our Generation 7s the notes are a lot more sustained than our other models. In fact, the sustain of our stainless steel handpans ever surpasses that of competing models as you'll hear in a non-bias handpan review here (listen to the NovaPans Generation 7 starts at 7:06 and just how out-of-this-world it sounds and the many complementing comments to support it).

Bag: Soft Bag included

The NovaPans Handpan Soft Bag is a thin fabric back-pack style bag that is light to carry and easy to quickly and efficiently place your handpan inside and transport with you on any casual small or moderate trip not expecting much handling. Hardcases are sold separately and are more ideal for rigorous traveling such as by car, plane, bus etc. If you are traveling with a soft bag only, there is no harm in adding some additional layers of clothes over at least the note-specific parts of your handpan for added protection.
