Stainless steel handpan with included carry bag.

The X8 Vintage Series handpan features a two-tone finish (key dimples are gold, pan is silver), a double layer ding dome for longer-lasting tuning and a fastener on the "belt" with the X8 logo. The unique, ethereal and mysterious sound of the steel handpan captivates everyone. The soothing tones take the listener on a spiritual journey. We're seeing this instrument used in modern, EDM, sound therapy and as musical accompaniment for spiritual activities such as yoga or meditation. This specific drum is tuned with a center note and eight additional notes, allowing artists to create rich, full songs either as a solo artist or as part of an ensemble.

Pakmoon (honeymoon) is a handpan scale written and named by the famous Chinese handpan player He Boman. The inspiration for "honeymoon" was the deep blue sea and wondrous blue sky he saw in the holy land of Honeymoon in Hawaii. The translation goes: ‘The idea of a "Honeymoon" can make people feel a certain sweet and romantic feeling. the setting sun is fading, you’re lying on a beach chair by the sea with a loved one, looking at the sea and sky in the distance. The breeze comes slowly, and the coconut trees in the banana forest on the shore sang softly, and the coconuts fragrant and sweet.’ "Honeymoon" delivers a feeling of happiness and joy, with a beautiful and coherent melody, which is often used in the creation of popular and modern music. This scale is suitable for solo playing as well as improvisation and overall accompaniment. It is known to be easier to learn than other scales.
