Warranty

All Aura instruments have a lifetime free retuning, hydrophobic coating reapplication, and adhesive repair warranty so long as Aura Handpan is still providing these services.

​

• the instruments' shells separate for an unknown reason;

• the instrument drifts out of tune due to normal play;

• the instrument is bumped out of tune during shipping;

• the instrument requires a new microceramic coating; or

• there is a reasonable need for minor repairs that does not require the instrument to be opened.

 

Repairs and services may be subject to reasonable delay.
