The differences between nitrided steel handpans and stainless steel handpans are as follows:

· Sustain:

  • Nitrided - shorter sustain
  • Stainless - very long sustain

· Rust Resistance

  • Nitrided - improved rust resistance
  • Stainless - the most rust resistance

· Timbre:

  • Nitrided - warm, balanced & ceramic
  • Stainless - bright, soothing & ethereal

· Dynamic Range

Nitrided - versatile, isolated tones make it more percussive and emotive

Stainless - resonant, harmonic tones make it louder and full of energy

· Look:

  • Nitrided - darker colors: like black, purple & red
  • Stainless - various colors with our new surface-nitriding process: silver, golden, copper bronze, blue & green

440Hz and 432Hz are distinct tuning standards for musical instruments. 440Hz, known as "Concert Pitch," sets A4 at 440 hertz, commonly used across modern instruments. Alternatively, 432Hz tuning lowers A4 to 432 hertz, yielding a deeper, warmer sound.

· 440Hz handpans fit most musical contexts, ideal for playing with other instruments in performance, recording, and education.

· 432Hz handpans are more suitable for performers seeking a specific auditory experience, such as those requiring special emotional or healing effects.

Choosing between 440Hz and 432Hz mainly depends on your personal preference and performance goals. If you want to play with other instruments or to ensure your performance is acceptable in most musical settings, 440Hz might be the safer choice. If you are interested in the healing properties of 432Hz, or mainly perform solo and are attracted by the unique charm of this frequency, then 432Hz might suit your needs.
