If you are interested in metal percussion instruments, particularly melodic and intuitive metallic percussion, then you are in the right place!

Determining the fair price of a musical instrument can often be complex, especially when it comes to handpans, steel tongue drums, or steeldrums. The market for these instruments is still relatively unstructured, with a wide range of offerings in terms of quality, technical features, and prices. Therefore, it is important to delve into the matter to gain a clearer understanding of the cost of these instruments.

In this section, we will explore the prices of metal percussion instruments available on the market, such as handpans, steel tongue drums, and steeldrums. We will also examine the various factors that influence the cost of these instruments and how to obtain a good instrument without breaking the bank.

How much does a handpan cost

The handpan market is still young but exciting and diverse. There are numerous brands and handpan models that differ in terms of manufacturing methods, materials used (stainless steel or mild steel), number of notes, and finishes. Therefore, the price of a handpan can vary considerably based on these elements. There are high-end brands that offer instruments at a higher price due to their superior quality, a large number of notes, or innovative design. Prices can range up to 5000 euros for exceptional instruments offered by reputable brands.

Most good handpans are sold between 1500 and 2000 euros, but it is possible to obtain decent sound quality without having to spend a fortune, with handpans priced around 1000 euros. These models are generally preferred by beginners looking for a good handpan at a lower price. However, be cautious, as some cheap handpan models available on the web may be made by unskilled craftsmen and therefore may not offer the expected sound quality. Many scams have been reported on the internet in recent years with low-priced handpans, and in such cases, you may end up having to spend more to buy another handpan!
