VIBES HANDPAN OIL BY SHINETIME

VIBES HANDPAN OIL. Pure Resonance. Pure Touch.

Your handpan is an extension of your spirit. Your hands are the bridge to the music. Why put a barrier of harsh petrochemicals between them?

VIBES Handpan Oil is the first holistic care solution designed for the modern percussionist. Whether you play nitrided steel or modern stainless, VIBES offers a professional-grade playing surface that sanitises your instrument and nourishes your skin. Crafted from 100% plant-based ingredients, it honours the steel, the sound, and the hands that play it.

Why the Community is Switching to VIBES:

• The "Zero-Drag" Playing Experience: For modern stainless and Ember steel, sweat can create friction. VIBES creates a silky, fast-action surface that allows your hands to glide effortlessly, reducing the "slap" sound of sticky fingers.
• Bio-Safe Skin & Steel Care: You absorb what you touch. Formulated without petroleum or heavy synthetics, VIBES acts as a protective barrier for your instrument and a nourishing conditioner for your hands.
• Acoustic Clarity: Heavy synthetic greases can muffle high frequencies. Our lightweight, volatile formula cleans the surface of grime and sweat oils, restoring the crisp, crystal-clear resonance of your shells.
• Hygienic Performance: Handpans collect sweat, salts, and skin oils. VIBES contains natural antibacterial properties to sanitise the playing surface, keeping your session fresh and odour-free.
• Legacy Protection: For owners of nitrided and raw steel pans, our formula provides the ultimate shield against oxidation, proven by our rigorous coastal endurance tests.

How to Apply (The Ritual):

• Purify: Clean the surface with 70% isopropyl alcohol to remove old synthetic grease or sweat.
• Harmonise: Apply a few drops to a microfibre cloth.
• Seal: Wipe on to clean and condition. Wipe off the excess. Feel the difference immediately.

The "9-Month Coastal Test": Validated by Nature To ensure stability, we didn't just test for rust; we tested for endurance. In a 270-day exposure test on the Australian coast, VIBES (Compound #6) proved it does not gum up, does not turn rancid, and does not degrade—unlike other natural oils. It remains stable, hygienic, and smooth, ensuring your instrument is always stage-ready.

Notes:

• Period After Opening (POA): 24 Months.
• Supporting the Community: 10% of all profits from VIBES Handpan Oil are donated to Handpan Community United (HCU). We stand together in the legal battle against PanArt to ensure the handpan remains accessible to every player, everywhere.

• Leander Greitemann: One of the world's most gifted players, for gracing us with the use of his incredible music.
