Today, we know it’s nitrogen-nitrided steel, which boosts strength and corrosion resistance. PANArt began making steel drums in the 1970s using this process, and it later used it to create the Hang. In 2013, PANArt announced it would stop producing the Hang to focus on designing and building other instruments made from \u003cstrong\u003ePang\u003c\/strong\u003e. This led to the creation of the Gubal and the HangBal—sound sculptures that closely resemble the Hang, but without achieving the same phenomenal global success. Treat yourself to a handpan and experience this fascinating instrument for yourself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDiscover the craftsmanship behind the handpan, a unique instrument\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat’s wonderful about the \u003cstrong\u003ehandpan\u003c\/strong\u003e is that achieving truly high-quality acoustics always requires hands-on, human work during the tuning process. Today, the shells can be formed using fully mechanised processes, since that step adds little value on its own. But tuning is a craft perfected through experience, and it simply can’t be outsourced to a machine or robot. Using only their expertise and talent, artisans deliver thousands of hammer strikes until the metal can “sing” in harmony. That’s why quality handpans rarely have perfectly uniform tone fields and why you may notice small bumps on the upper shell. Order your handpan to enjoy a unique instrument and start your musical adventure today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\nThe handpan: a relaxing and soothing instrument\u003cbr\/\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWho would have thought that an object shaped like a flying saucer could bring so much well-being to those around it?

And yet, the handpan, or \u003cstrong\u003eHang\u003c\/strong\u003e, has quickly become a go-to tool for relaxation and well-being for many practitioners. Yoga, reiki, and even meditation teachers use it to help create a deeply relaxed state for the people they work with. Several recent studies suggest that music can help reduce blood pressure and stress—sometimes rivalling the effects of certain medications, without unwanted side effects. So why deprive yourself?

To achieve this, its creators, Swiss couple Felix Rohner and Sabina Schärer, drew inspiration from the design techniques used in Chinese gongs and Indonesian gamelan. In both cases, the metal is shaped into a dome, which inevitably evokes the lenticular form of the handpan. By combining this structure with nitrided steel, similar to that used in steel drums, the first versions of the Hang were crafted in early 2000. Having quickly evolved into the handpan we know today, this instrument is an unlikely fusion of several sound traditions from around the world. Bring this rich sound into your daily life by choosing a handpan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe handpan is an intuitive instrument that resonates from the very first note\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat makes the handpan so special in today’s musical landscape?

It produces tones that can truly be described as harmonious, soothing, and meditative. What’s more, it is an \u003cstrong\u003eintuitive instrument\u003c\/strong\u003e that any beginner can pick up and start playing, even without any formal music training.

These Asian musical instruments are both used for religious purposes, but also in meditative settings, particularly in Buddhism. It’s no surprise, then, that the handpan has inherited this contemplative quality through the sound it produces. This is also reinforced by its tuning, which is often in a minor scale—a mood that naturally invites introspection. The handpan is therefore ideal for creating meditative, relaxing melodies that encourage listeners to focus on sound and experience the present moment.

A ghatam is essentially a large clay pot that a percussionist strikes with their hands to produce sound.

In fact, the idea for the handpan emerged in the late 1990s in Switzerland, in the minds of its creators, Felix Rohner and Sabina Schärer. The first Hang—an earlier name for the handpan—was presented to the public at a music fair in Frankfurt, Germany, in 2000. However, the handpan draws inspiration from two other instruments: the steel drum and the \u003cstrong\u003eghatam\u003c\/strong\u003e, which has a much deeper history, dating back to the 8th century in India. It took several years of development and all the ingenuity of the Swiss company PANArt to produce the first fully functional handpan. After this musical invention became a commercial success, hundreds of other makers followed in Felix Rohner and Sabina Schärer’s footsteps, helping spread the handpan worldwide.

This has been highlighted by dozens of studies involving more than 10,000 participants. It’s been shown that music therapy, i.e., using music and instruments as part of a therapeutic approach, tends to calm and soothe people. With this in mind, researchers are even exploring whether certain anti-stress medications, which can cause unwanted side effects, could be complemented—or partly replaced—by music or by practising an instrument such as the handpan or \u003cstrong\u003eHang\u003c\/strong\u003e.

The name references the instrument’s iconic shape, with its central dome. Once it left the workshop, the Hang was quickly embraced by players for the quality of its acoustic resonance. After producing several generations of instruments that improved over time, PANArt temporarily halted production in 2013, opening the door for many other makers and artisans to offer musicians their own versions, commonly known as handpans.

When the \u003cstrong\u003eHang\u003c\/strong\u003e became available to the public in 2000, PANArt didn’t anticipate how in-demand it would become and quickly couldn’t keep up with musicians eager to buy one. PANArt also chose not to scale up production, stating they didn’t want to get caught up in a race for profit. As a result, in the mid-2000s, dozens of artisans began creating their own Hang-inspired instruments, changing the name to respect PANArt’s copyrights. The most common name became handpan. Since then, PANArt has sought to shut down many of these manufacturers for copying its Hang.

Initially, the idea was to create an instrument that could be played like a ghatam, but made entirely of steel to ensure strength and durability. The Swiss company PANArt used an alloy called Pang, which they had previously used to make classic steel drums. The lenticular shape of the handpan emerged after numerous trials and delivered the best acoustic results.

On top of that, every note is already tuned by the maker, so all you have to do is lightly brush the metal to produce beautiful tones.

As demand grew, PANArt registered the name Hang as intellectual property but refused to increase production to meet the needs of musicians who wanted to buy this percussion instrument. As a result, hundreds of makers around the world began creating their own Hang-style instruments, making small design changes and marketing them under the name handpan. In 2013, PANArt announced it would stop producing the Hang. Then, starting in 2020, legal action was brought against several manufacturers in an effort to halt their production.

After percussionist Reto Weber brought the idea to the Swiss company, PANArt spent months creating an instrument with a shape and voice unlike anything else: the \u003cstrong\u003eHang\u003c\/strong\u003e. For nearly 13 years, the company refined and improved its flagship instrument before moving on to other projects in 2013.

That’s exactly how this \u003cstrong\u003edouble-sided handpan\u003c\/strong\u003e was born. The top shell, with the ding, is tuned to a D Kurd minor scale, while the bottom shell, with the Gü, is tuned to a D Gong major scale.

First-generation models, with roughly 5,000 produced between 2001 and 2005, were released in more than 45 scales (Ake Bono, Hijaz, Pygmée, Melog, Zhi Diao) and sold by appointment at the Bern workshop. The HangHaus festival, hosted in the “House of the Hang,” allowed insiders to discover the instrument early. In 2005, after international dealers stepped back, other gatherings, such as HangOut UK (launched in 2008), became meeting points for musicians and makers to share and connect. This one-of-a-kind distribution inspired Kyle Cox to coin the term \u003cstrong\u003e“handpan”\u003c\/strong\u003e for generic instruments as early as 2007.

A reusable-cup booth, composting toilets, and waste sorting reflect the festival’s ethical approach. \u003cstrong\u003eBring your handpan\u003c\/strong\u003e and feel the eco-responsible vibe today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eChoose a handcrafted handpan directly inspired by the Hang\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStemming from the heritage of PANArt’s Hang, the handcrafted handpan follows the same principles of design and tuning. Made of nitrided steel in Bern, it reveals a \u003cstrong\u003efull spectrum of frequencies\u003c\/strong\u003e, combining the fundamental, the octave, and the fifth harmonic. Pronounced “hong” in Bernese, “Hang” means “hand,” a reminder of the precision of manual hammering required to create these vibrations. Since Hang production ceased in 2014, independent luthiers across Europe, the United States, and Asia have been recreating this legendary instrument, often with a similar touch of inspiration from the Indian ghatam or the alpine bell. These handpans, available at Instruments du Monde, benefit from personalised tuning and meticulous finishing. Whether you’re using it for yoga, meditation, or sound massage, the instrument bathes listeners in an enveloping vibrational wash that helps reduce stress and enhance focus.

For music therapy, Lina Rossi has published Handpan for Meditation, which focuses on sophrology practices. Finally, Johan Jansen traces the history of the Hang and the handpan in Captain Hang. Available in both French and English, these books offer graphic scores along with guidance on maintenance and tuning.

This shape, proven over centuries, has been adapted to the two Pang nitrided steel shells to balance the warmth of the harmonics and the clarity of the notes. Artisans such as Echo Sound Sculpture (Ezhan) and Bellart (Luis Martin Eguiguren Garrido) have adopted these principles for their own models, while Pantheon Steel and Spacedrum are now exploring new alloys. The result is an instrument capable of evoking both the depth of a gong and the polyphony of a gamelan.

Tuned according to a 1:2:3 ratio—fundamental, octave, and fifth—each note generates a \u003cstrong\u003ewealth of harmonics used in art therapy\u003c\/strong\u003e and music therapy to relieve stress. To preserve the instrument’s exclusivity, the creators required a written explanation of your motivation before selling you one, and they stopped production in 2014, making brand-new instruments nearly impossible to find. Inspired by this success, artisans in Europe, America, and Asia now produce handpans, preserving the traditional methods of hammering and tuning. These instruments fit perfectly into yoga sessions, sound massages, and guided meditations, helping release tension and intrusive thoughts.

Its construction is based on two deeply embossed and nitrided steel shells, glued together with a special resin to form a resonant cavity. On the upper part, a central bump called the “ding” accommodates seven to nine sound fields tuned to a fundamental, an octave, and a compound fifth. Each note is adjusted with a hammer, and the whole instrument is calibrated by a serial number engraved on the inside, certifying its authenticity. A brass ring can be added to reinforce its strength. Unlike membranophones such as djembes or tablas, no stretched material vibrates—the entire metal emits the sound. This connection with musical vases highlights the evolution of the handpan, descended from Indian ghatams and Caribbean steelpans.
