FROM THE WORKSHOP
Michael's Notes
The C# Aegean has a voice that feels incredibly alive. It balances brightness and warmth in a way that creates a truly engaging playing experince.​​​
​
When building an Aegean, I focus on clarity, sustain, and harmonic interactions between notes. I want each instrument to feel open and resonant while preserving the musical character that makes this scale so distinctive.
​
My goal with every Mountain Man Handpan is to create an instrument that becomes a lifelong companion rather than simply an object to own.
