Does anyone have a C tenor pan for sale or knows someone who is selling a C tenor pan? Also, what is the policy with regards to old pans from panorama bands? What do the bands do with their pans that are no longer in use?

Hi Jimi,at times I do try to explain certain things,so that readers would not be given incorrect info.How are things on your side? It's "heated" in the west end as the action starts on Friday. I know I will see you around in due course. The new hammer is working well, good job!
Mr. Cezair,the vast majority of front line pans are owned by the bands and not the players,a few people walk with their personal tenor and Lloyd a "C" tenor refers to the low tenor which is how it should be referred to and a high tenor starts from "D" is sometimes referred to as a "D"tenor. So really low tenor =tenor starting from C and high tenor = tenor starting from D. There is not two types of C pan.
Seems like Lloyd have everything wrong side, or back to front. And also Cezair. Jerard, thanks for explaining to them.
Roisha,
Please call (754) 779-7574
Thanks,
Ian
There are two types of "C" pan, one where the 'C' is on the inside ring of notes(low C) and the other where the 'C' is on the outer ring of notes(high C). I know of a high C tenor, made by H. "Guppy" Browne for sale. Problem is the pan is in Trinidad.
Mr Lloyd, I would be interested in more info on a Guppy pan if it is a D Pan, meaning D is the lowest note.
Denette, a "C" pan is the better pan to have for your personal use than the "D" pan, The "C" pan is a complete pan, the :D: pan is limited,unless you are going to play with a Band where they have other types of pan,
When I was researching which pan to get, years ago, the information was hard to come by to make a decision. The pan that I was able to arrange to buy in Trinidad happened to be a D pan. A few years ago I found another D pan for sale in a music shop on Martha's Vineyard fir an incredible price. It is nice to have two so I can leave one at college and one at home and not have to transport. Since I already have two D pans it seems to make sense to stick with a D pan. I am not good enough to be able to switch back and forth and would end up way over playing the low C if I had both a C and D pan. D pan seems to be my fate.
If you practice with a "C" Pan you will realize that you will be able to switch with Ease, Try it, and you will be able to do more with it,
I will keep that in mind, thanks.
