'Opening the Door' Handpan & CBG Ceramic Body Guitar Music
Headphones or stereo speakers are recommended for best sound. I think you guys will enjoy this (I hope). It aint the blues! The song begins on handpan, then I drop in slide guitar about 1 minute in playing the 2 string ceramic seed pod 'chugger' guitar I built with one of my handmade stoneware slides. The guitar has a rod piezo, and I'm using an outboard piezo preamp that I built into a cigar box to shape tone.
I recorded this song for the Healing Handpan Alliance. It will be available for free download 11/20/17 along with many other handpan songs from www.healinghandpan.com if you want a free copy of the music.
PS. C.B. Gitty started carrying my stoneware ceramic slides last week!

Andries, thank you! I agree this ceramic guitar sounds a lot like a bass. I used acoustic guitar A & D strings on it with a 25.5" scale. My good friend Eric Denton said it reminded him of Pink Floyd.

Love that hard pan. Chiming, soothing. Kind of inspiring. Wow, it the slow slide goes so well with it. Great start for my Sunday morning.
