Most probably the same source as other Italian handpans of discussable quality, with fake bids to artifically raise the price and simulate wide interest. Stay away!

I have played on one of those handcans. I feel bad fpr whoever paid $1800 dollars for one.

Nice to give those with new ears a warning. Yeah, these instruments are not worth the manipulated prices. Really don't understand how people who create can take to such measures.
Look at the last bids and winning bid though, I wonder if there is a Robin Hood out there making sure no one gets the pans.

Yes, I also noted the winner was a (0) buyer - maybe a real newcomer!
ALL handpans from these sellers have an odd bidding pattern - 50-80 bids, something you never see for other handpans. And always with a large share of bidders with a (0) feedback.

A Robin Hood!

I really hope so.

Some words I got privately from Cineit54, aka new forum member Tencoerta. I encouraged him to introduce himself on the forum, but he hasn't done it yet, so in the meantime I'm publishing this as a balance to my post :

Hello , i'm cineit4, my name is Luca, I read your post in the forum casually about my instruments. Surely everyone can say and think what he wants, but I'm so sorry to read the negative comments on my work, especially because unfounded comments. I read that my auctions are rigged, manipulated, and that the instrument is not good. I try to build my instruments with hard work as well as possible trying to improve over time, you know that all this requires much time and so much money , just because I am an honest person, I decided to sell my instruments on ebay making from 100 usd, in order to free the offers. If you see my sales history you will notice that the instrument that you have commented was the only one to be sold at a high price: a chance and a choice of the buyer as all other instruments sold. If you have possibility to come to Rome I'd love to show you my lab and also you would see all shipments sell in the world. I understand that in the forum you can express any thought, but it is not right to create false certainties, popularizing the idea to anyone that I'm an impostor. I hope that in time I can improve the quality of my instruments so that you can hear it. (...) I started building handpans for about a year, I would like to get a good quality before putting a mark, I do not sell at fixed prices and try to make rods for return of money I invested, I guarantee all sales that are real and are a very proper, and as I said before, if you come to Rome would be happy to meet you and show you my laboratory, I am very sorry to see, however, that there are people who speak ill of my work without even know me, writing bad words like, stay away! Or it is false! You what would you do in my place? I invest money, I try to get a good quality, I put on sale handpans freeing offers, and since there is someone who will buy them at a high price, I should feel guilty or tried this? Not be marked to a forum and talk about their work does not mean that I am a wrong person, what do you think? If you want I can tell you that there is a person older than me who is teaching me to give, and I work hard to reach a goal that is to get better every day.
