It's more expensive than a steel drum and it has a higher quality sound. A lot more engineering went into the design of the handpan than in the steelpan. I suggest you look it up, it's quite amazing actually. The creators basically took the properties of gongs, steelpans, bells, and combined them all into one intrument. So saying a handpan is a poor man's steel drum is like saying Caviar is a poor man's sardines.

that's pretty cool, but the most discouraging thing about it isn't just making it--but knowing that you'd have to learn how to play it afterwards

Link.Here's one guy who sells nothing but.And once you consider the man hours it will take you, not to mention the materials if you keep messing up, you actually might find yourself in a better position paying for one.
Ah. That thing.
It sounds so majestic.

You're not supposed to be discouraged about learning new shit!Especially if you're the one who wants to learn it in the first place!
