Handpan timbre
Aside from the fact that every pitch must be accurately tuned to 440 Hz (on request also on 432 Hz), the various undertones and overtones must also be considered.
It is the same idea as a “well tempered piano”. In addition to the fact that each tuner has his or her own “signature” when tuning, it is also up to the tuner to what extent he allows slight tone cross-overs, parallel overtones and slight dissonances. These allowances ultimately make the meditative sound that makes the instrument so irresistible and gives it its “soul”.
