I’m from Singapore, recently got a mountain rain Handpan for about $700 USD, it’s fine, but note Separation is not the best. Sounding abit metallic but decent for the money. Wondering what are the options to buy a Handpan that’s artisan level eventually in 1 year when I’ve improved.

Rationale is that if I were to get an ayasa or a yishama, there’s a geographical disadvantage. Any repairs or re-tuning would cost upward of $270 usd purely for shipping to and fro.

Just wondering if there are artisan makers within Asia or the dreaded… China. Or the best bang of the buck Asian maker for the price I pay for a example $3,000 USD

Thank you!
