This is my first hand pan and I'd read about "cross talk" on some other models. I guessed what that meant but when I got this one, I knew for sure. The tones are lovely except for the two or three highest ones. When you strike them, you hear the other two notes sing out at the same time, and they aren't necessarily complementary. It's only day 1 and I need to check my technique to see if it's a dealbreaker, but I am otherwise impressed with the quality.

The instrument is out of tune however 8 of the notes are all slightly sharp (which is mostly fine as the instrument is out of tune but in tune to itself so the only implication there is that playing with other instrumentalists will not sound good unless they tune to you) - however the Bb is actually flat which sounds absolutely awful compared to the other 8 slightly sharp notes.The pan has great resonance, can get quite loud, and the timbre is acceptable albeit a little "tin-y" at times which I'm sure is partly a technique issue but also seems to be a characteristic of the materials used.If you decide to purchase the instrument and you are a complete beginner with no percussion experience then you should be aware that this is an instrument, and you will need to practice otherwise if you just pull it out of the box and start slapping around what you might notice is "these notes dont ring" - but thats almost 100% a technique problem rather than an instrument one. There is a certain way in which you must strike the tone fields for them to ring and for untrained hands it will be difficult to do without practice.Anyway, great introductory pan - with one major flaw (out of tune Bb) I'm effectively having to play D Dorian rather than D minor

Well built and sounds really nice for the money. Sounded amazing from the start but mine seemed to have a little bit of a break in period were some tones seemed to change a bit but everything found its place and it sounds amazing again. Break in period didnt make it sound bad but there were some times where some notes sounded a bit off, it could have easily been my playing as well though.

It’s good but for the price I expect a lot better. This is not a Renowned brand. Here my issues: as I read in another review prior to purchasing “two of the notes are flat “; well they aren’t they do however experience a note clash ( flat distorted rattle ) if not struck perfectly. This issue is corrected in the more expensive brands by the shapes and pointing of the note feilds. This instrument is quiet if playing by hand but if playing with mallets it rings nice and loud and much easier to strike the notes more accurately averting a note field clash. I personally feel it’s worth at the most about $500 just because it’s a unique instrument. You can get a generic saxophone for about $200 that plays perfectly.

I've always wanted a handpan/hang since I heard one on the internet around 2010. I've never heard one in person nor even touched one until I bought/received this one. So its hard for me to verify the quality of this handpan (since I have no point of comparison). That said, I've been listening to hang music since 2010 ... and I have been playing a steel tongue drum (Idiopan) for a few years now. This Lark handpan sounds absolutely amazing to me. (see image of this handpan next to my Idiopan).The finger striking strength is comparable to playing on the Idiopan but sounds much louder. I don't have a music background but can produce something that sounds decent. It helps that these instruments have a "personality" of themselves that you have to nurture.So I am quite happy with my purchase.The handpan was packaged in its bag and encased in snug styrofoam in a box. So it was well protected.
