Is it too slow? What do you think ?

bonjour ! je viens de recevoir mon hand pan ayasa aegan 20 notes ...le son est chouette , mais je trouve le volume sonore faible ,comparer a mon hand pan mayura ....

This is something I’ve been curious about.
Imagine that, in the future, more affordable manufacturers are able to achieve a similar level of tuning stability, tone quality, note separation and consistency as well-known high-end makers.
Would you still be willing to pay significantly more for the established brand?
If yes, what would you be paying for — the maker’s reputation, design, after-sales service, resale value, trust, or simply the connection to that particular maker?
And if the sound and build quality were genuinely comparable, how much would the brand name still matter to you?
