14-Note Handpan

Choose a handcrafted handpan and transform your daily relaxation

The handpan is an avant-garde instrument, created in Switzerland in 2000 by Félix Rohner and Sabina Schärer, blending the heritage of the Eastern gong with the Alpine bell. Unlike membrane or string instruments, it’s built on the principle of a double-shell steel idiophone, producing a clear sound free of unwanted dissonance. The notes, tuned with a 1:2:3 relationship, create a naturally balanced harmony that’s especially suited to relaxation and meditation. To guarantee quality, the Instruments du Monde store in France offers handcrafted models with hand-hammered notes and personalized service, typically at a price lower than the competition. Dedicated to promoting sound healing and music-therapy practices, Instruments du Monde provides professional support and advice to help you choose the scale and tone that best match your needs. Whether you’re a yogi, a sound-therapy professional, or simply a passionate beginner, the handpan will elevate your wellness sessions with warm, revitalizing vibrations. Take advantage of this opportunity and order your handpan today to begin your soothing sound journey.

Take your handpan to the GRIASDI Handpan & World Music Gathering

GRIASDI, an international event held in Stadt Haag at the Böllerbauer farm, brings together musicians, artisans, and handpan enthusiasts every year for four days of creative sharing. This volunteer-run, family-friendly gathering offers a pay-what-you-want fee, making it accessible to everyone. A variety of workshops (mandala, djembe, body percussion, interactive storytelling) and world music concerts follow one another, with artists such as Yves Mesnil, Stefan Jovičić, Mayiia, and Arachai. Therapists lead sound journeys while vegan meals, prepared by volunteers, nourish both body and spirit. The mandala and body percussion workshops offer fresh perspectives on musical creation. Lightweight and compact, your handpan fits in your suitcase so you can improvise in the fields, under the trees, or around the campfire. Buy your handpan and join this celebration of music and togetherness.
