I placed the order and paid for it, how can I check delivery status?
I want to order two (three) compatible RAVs, can you recommend the models which works together?
Those RAVs sounds good together:
1)A Integral + D Celtic Minor
2)A Integral + C Golden Gate
3)E Low Pygmy + B Celtic Minor (or B RUS, B Celtic Double Ding)
4)A RUS + D Major
5)B Celtic Minor (or B RUS, B Celtic Double Ding) + D Major
6)E Low Pygmy + B Celtic Minor + D Major
7)G Pygmy + D Major (not all notes are fit together but it's an interesting combination)
8)G Pygmy + D Celtic Minor
9)G Minor Pentatonic + D Celtic Minor
Which scale is the best for the beginner?
We recommend G Pygmy, B Celtic or D Major - the most popular scales among beginners.
What is the difference between Vast and Vast 2?
We make RAV VAST from 2 types of steel 1.5mm and 2mm thick. We do this, because some tunings sound better in thicker steel and some of them make better sound in thinner steel. For example, all the B tunings have always bee made from 2mm steel. So VAST2 is the marking for models made from 2mm steel Both types have nice long sustain and perfect sound.
Please note:
- VAST2 is not an improved model of the instrument, or "next generation drum". Some scales work in 1,5mm steel and some work better in 2mm steel.
- It's not technically possible to make VAST scales from 2mm steel and vice versa, so you can't get a RAV VAST 2 G Pygmy or RAV VAST B Celtic Minor
- There's no difference in price between VAST and VAST2
- "2" may be absent in the names of the scales like on our site, but the instrument is still made from 2mm steel.
What about safety of the drum in delivery time?
Stay calm, we got this!
For RAV Vast Drum we use foam for protection. Also, drum delivered in a box with a special mark as “breakable”.
RAV PAN delivered in a hard case which is included in the price of the instrument. We use a bubble-wrap as additional protection for the handpan.
How do I take care of my RAV?
We suggest two caring products: Phoenix Handpan drum Oil, which was designed giving support to taking care of your handpan musical instrument, or Frog Lube CLP. If you don't have those available in your place, try using coconut oil.
Depending on humidity in your place, you should figure out how many times a month should you apply the product. If you live in a humid place, we suggest applying it once or twice a week. For the places with normal/low humidity it's okay to use it once or twice a month. We suggest watching this video.

Is it possible to customize my RAV? (Different colour, custom scale etc.)
