Looking for a Cheap Handpan on Aliexpress!

I've been dreaming of playing this instrument for years now, but cannot afford the 1000-2000 dollars markup by any means. I'm okay with compensating on the sound quality and it going out of tune after a year or two, but I'm still looking. For a basic quality benchmark. Can anyone who bought something specifically on Aliexpress that they can reccomend price and quality wise?

Thank you very much in advance.

I bought a cheap D Kurd £200 one off amazon. It arrived well packed, in tune and good for starting.

if you can swing $650, I am very happy with my 10 note D kurd from Asteman. It's made of stainless steel, and It arrived very well packaged and in very good tune as well.

Ty! For that price it's already reaching the too expensive not high quality enough to justify the price territory. If i wanted an actual top quality one I'd spend 2300 on a handmade one
