What it sounds like
B natural minor with a low B ding: dark, deep and filmic. Long notes and slow builds suit it.
Is it a good first handpan?
Yes, if you like low and moody. The deep ding makes it feel bigger than its nine notes.
Try it properly before you buy one. A real B Ashake usually costs NZ$2,000 to 4,000 and makers often have months-long queues.
In Tonefield you can play it in 3D for free, loop yourself, add a beat, turn it into a song and film it in a world of its own,
on your phone or computer. No wrong notes.
