Arcturus V3 · Steel Tongue Tank Drum

(33 cm · full handpan tuning)

Who is this instrument for?

Arcturus V3 is designed for people who are looking for more than just an introduction to sound, but who do not need to have any previous experience.

It works very well for:

• beginners who want an instrument that won't fall short over time

• musicians looking for real expressiveness without having to struggle with the instrument

• music therapy, sound therapy and personal process accompaniment

• those who come from handpan and want a similar experience, but more stable and accessible

It doesn't require technique, but it responds when there is technique.

How does it feel to play?

How does it feel to play? The sound has body, range and sustain. It doesn't fade quickly, it's not dry, it doesn't force you to play fast. Each note breathes and stays just long enough for you to hear it.

When you play it, it feels:

• round

• balanced

• very expressive

• with clear and controlled harmonics

It invites you to both play and delve deeper. It doesn't push. It accompanies.

Type of experience

Type of experience Arcturus V3 is the complete experience within the Arcturus series.

All tones are tuned with double cross harmonics, just like a handpan, which allows for:

• greater sonic richness

• more depth

• more nuances when varying the touch

It is an instrument that grows with you. At first it is gentle and easy, and over time it offers more and more possibilities.

Differences between Arcturus V3 and other versions

Unlike Arcturus V1 and V2, Arcturus V3 incorporates double cross harmonics in all tones, following the same tuning logic as a handpan. This translates into a fuller sound, greater harmonic richness and a more expressive response to touch. Compared to the V4, it maintains the same sound experience, but in a more compact 33 cm format, ideal for those seeking depth without increasing size.
