Study the Handpan
The course teaches you to play. This is everything around it: what a handpan actually is, where it came from, why one note sounds like a chord, what to pay and who to buy from, how to stop it rusting, how to record it, and the arguments the community is still having.
Not all of this is about D Kurd
The course is. Study covers the whole instrument — every scale, every material, every corner of the culture. Use it as a reference, not a syllabus.
