Learning the Handpan: Lesson 6 / Harmonics & Pitch Bends by NovaPans Handpans
Did you know that there's a lot more to the handpan than just the notes you can play? Like on the guitar whereby pressing one finger ever so gently in one position of the note while striking the note with the other you end up creating a super high note, the same can be done on your handpan. It's a technical process but easy to replicate. Just follow the instruction in the tutorial below and let us know what you think!
