A project log for the seraphia tinka–

the story of my first hybrid steelpan prototype that kicked off my instrument building journey

Well structured information on building pans is scarce, especially due to the rise of chinese manufacturers mass-offloading garbage instruments onto the market in recent years, and community-trusted manufacturers taking down information previously public, due to incidents information being stolen or misused in by said garbage producers, as far as I know of.

Using shellopan's Dimple Size Chart, I sketched and printed out elliptical note field paper shapes to get a feeling for what size notes and approximate scale i want to target.

I marked the note fields on the surface and went on to pre-shaping.
