Handpans

Handpans are modern steel percussion instruments featuring a convex, UFO-shaped design with a central note surrounded by a circle of tuned tone fields, creating ethereal, meditative soundscapes. These handcrafted instruments are played with fingers and palms, producing warm, resonant tones with rich harmonics and sustained resonance. Evolved from the Swiss Hang drum, handpans offer intuitive playability and therapeutic qualities, making them popular in meditation, yoga, sound healing, and contemporary world music. Available in various scales and tunings, each handpan is precisely crafted to deliver specific modal scales, providing both melodic and rhythmic possibilities for musicians and sound therapy practitioners.
