The Generation 3 - A Handpan for Performance
Our most Virtuoso Handpans. If you've seen people busking or street performing with a handpan in any way, you'll remember that their handpan was loud and clear (had great projection). Our Generation 3s are not only capable of providing that "large" sound but also keeping a controlled intonation, regardless of how soft or loud you play. That's why the Generation 3 handpan has been long deemed our most virtuoso handpan.

Description
If you're looking for something ideal for busking or solo performances, then the Generation 3 is for you. Not only does it boast superiority in projection (how loud you can play), but also in the quality of its intonation (how controlled the notes are when playing loud or quiet). The Gen 3s also come in either a rich Blue, Purple or Crimson-Red sheen which are known to stand out in a crowd (see our Amazon reviews). Or perhaps a handpan that projects through even the loudest of settings and is ideal for busking or solo performances.
A History of NovaPans Handpans:
All of NovaPans Handpans are hand-tuned and quality-checked by professionals from Europe and the USA who are situated in China and previously, in Vietnam and Ukraine. Instead of an underpriced handpan from China that hasn't met quality standards or an overpriced handpan from home whose price and availability is just laughable, NovaPans sits somewhere in the middle, making affordable handpans that meet quality requirements.
The combination of handpan production expertise where quality mass production is a reality allows NovaPans to not only create high-quality handpans, but to make them in quantity. Despite the widespread misinformation that you must spend thousands or wait months/years in order to even touch a quality handpan, this is just not true. NovaPans has sold well over 5000 handpans since 2016 and received the highest reviews on all platforms to reflect this. NovaPans continues to break the boundaries of how much we need to spend in order to get a quality musical instrument, or dare we say, a quality musical instrument we can at least get started on! We continue to prioritize our customers' financial, personalization, and range of selection needs first before anything else.
Disclaimer
☆ Every handpan may display signs of tuning marks to some extent which is a natural production trait considering that all of our handpans are hand-tuned. These are not scratches but in fact, very subtle indents and practically non-visible unless scrutinized.
☆ It is not uncommon to use an electronic tuner and notice a slight microtonal offset for any of your handpan notes. This is actually the case with all handpans and is not a reflection of quality in any way. No handpan which doesn't sound proportionally in tune within a 5-10 cents tuning threshold (which is noticeable by the human ear) does not pass our quality check and is returned for retuning.
