In reality, according to information shared by Felix Rohner and Sabina Schärer on their official website, more than a dozen instruments contributed to the handpan’s final form. Their first goal was to create a portable instrument that could also produce deeply relaxing tones you couldn’t hear anywhere else. Those distinctive, mesmerizing sounds quickly caught musicians’ attention and helped spread the handpan worldwide.

In that context, the instrument can feel like an excellent stress reliever—some scientific studies even compare its effects to certain medications, minus the side effects, of course.

In 1999, a percussionist named Reto Weber travelled to Switzerland to visit the PANArt company to have one of his steel drums tuned, a Caribbean instrument the Swiss company specialized in. During his stay, he spoke with Felix Rohner and Sabina Schärer, two artisans at PANArt, about his desire to develop a kind of Indian ghatam made entirely of metal. That conversation sparked the idea for a brand-new sound instrument: the \u003cstrong\u003eHang\u003c\/strong\u003e. Given its success, PANArt was unable to keep up with demand from musicians around the world. As a result, other makers began creating Hang-inspired instruments with slight design changes, which came to be known as handpans. Since then, the instrument has continued to evolve, including the rise of “mutant” models and versions with bottom notes.

Add to that the fact that you don’t need formal music theory training to enjoy it, and you get an instrument you can simply tap in rhythm to feel relaxing effects right away. That’s why the handpan has become a favourite among sound therapy and holistic wellness practitioners, alongside Tibetan singing bowls, gongs, and even the kalimba.

During the process, a conversation sparked between Weber and the Rohner\/Schärer duo. The percussionist shared an idea for a brand-new instrument: an Indian ghatam, but made entirely of steel instead of the terracotta traditionally used for over 1,200 years. The idea was compelling, and PANArt spent almost a year crafting the first \u003cstrong\u003eHang\u003c\/strong\u003e—which would later evolve into the handpan.
