It is a traditional instrument in India, as well as in several other Asian countries. In 1999, Reto Weber, a percussionist who played the ghatam, suggested the following idea to Felix Rohner and Sabina Schärer, two Swiss artists from the PANArt company: to create a new instrument similar to the ghatam, but made of metal instead of clay. This would make the instrument tougher while also opening the door to new sounds. Finding the idea intriguing, the Swiss couple spent nearly a year developing the \u003cstrong\u003eHang\u003c\/strong\u003e, the direct ancestor of today’s handpan. Treat yourself to a handpan and enjoy its unique sound qualities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eExperience intuitive music with the handpan\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat’s one of the best reasons to play the handpan? Definitely its intuitive nature. This \u003cstrong\u003emusical instrument\u003c\/strong\u003e isn’t meant to be like a piano or a guitar, where you spend dozens or hundreds of hours reading page after page of sheet music. With the handpan, the notes laid out on the instrument form a scale that lets you create melodies naturally and with ease. That means any player, whether or not they’ve studied music theory, can quickly start playing on their handpan. In this way, you can express your emotions and feelings through your instrument in a completely intuitive manner. Order your handpan today and give free rein to your musical creativity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\nRelax with the handpan\u003cbr\/\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf Felix Rohner and Sabina Schärer, the creators of the Hang in the early 2000s, had been told their instrument would literally revolutionise the world of wellness, it’s not certain they would have believed it. And yet, that is exactly what is happening. For several years now, the \u003cstrong\u003ehandpan\u003c\/strong\u003e has grown in popularity, and what was once a niche instrument is becoming a familiar presence among percussionists.
