However, some makers had the idea of adding notes on the bottom shell as well, making the handpan far more versatile. 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. This lets musicians and percussionists play joyful, energetic pieces as well as calmer, more introspective melodies—simply by flipping the handpan from one side to the other. In other words, think of it less as one instrument and more as two handpans in one. With 17 notes in total, it will captivate you with its mesmerizing sound. Treat yourself to this handpan today and enjoy everything a truly inspiring sound instrument can bring to your creativity and personal well-being.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eFree accessories:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA 290-page book featuring 25 sheet-music arrangements and a 16-video course taught by a handpan instructor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA padded carrying case\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA protective natural jute braid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA tripod stand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA pair of drumsticks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA cleaning cloth\u003cbr\/\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical specifications of the double-toned handpan\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInstrument family: percussion – idiophone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNumber of notes: 17\u003cbr\/\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTone: D Kurd and D Gong\u003cbr\/\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrequency: 440 or 432 hertz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiameter: 55 cm (22 in)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeight: 25 cm (10 in)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: high-hardness stainless steel, 1.2 mm (0.047 in) thick\u003cbr\/\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 4 kg (8 lb 13 oz)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDouble or twin models aren’t the most common in \u003ca href=\"__linkcollection1\" title=\"__linkcollection1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003ethe world of handpans\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e.

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. Be part of this tradition and order your handpan to relive that truly special experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eImmerse yourself in the friendly, eco-friendly atmosphere of the Handpan Festival in Mèze\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Handpan Festival in Mèze, held at the Domaine de Farlet, embodies eco-responsibility. Alongside the concerts, a craft market offers instruments, clothing, and jewellery, while short-supply-chain food trucks, recyclable tableware, and reusable festival cups help reduce environmental impact. Workshops on meditation, sophrology, sound journeys, dance, and permaculture create moments of relaxation and sharing with international and local artists. 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 personalized 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. Experience the perfect marriage of Swiss tradition and sound innovation—order your handcrafted handpan today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTake part in hands-on workshops with Miloon in Saint-André-de-Sangonis\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery month, the Metal Sounds workshop in Saint-André-de-Sangonis (34) offers “Handpan Sundays” led by Mélaine Cogez, aka Miloon. During these three-hour sessions, participants—whether beginners or experienced—explore the melodic percussion of the handpan provided on site. You’ll learn striking techniques, ideal posture, and basic rhythms—no music-theory knowledge required. You’ll even have the chance to try out models from PANArt alongside creations from independent artisans. These friendly classes are a chance to connect with other players and make rapid progress. The handpan, derived from the \u003cstrong\u003eHang\u003c\/strong\u003e invented in 2000, stands out for its accessibility and immediate musicality. After the workshop, you can extend the experience with online tutorials and specialized books, such as the one by Marko West. Join Miloon’s workshop for an immersive introduction and order your own handpan to keep practicing at home.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Instruments du Monde","offers":[{"title":"440 Hertz","offer_id":51406173765971,"sku":"Handpan-Double-440-Hz-17-notes","price":3199.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"432 Hertz","offer_id":51406173798739,"sku":"Handpan-Double-432-Hz-17-notes","price":3199.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0554\/9454\/1508\/files\/Handpan-double.jpg?v=1769161546","url":"https:\/\/instruments-du-monde.com\/en-ca\/products\/double-sided-handpan","provider":"Instruments du Monde","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
