Handpan in F

Contribute to a charitable cause at the Handpan Festival Croatia “Svargo’s Wheel”

Every July, “Svargo’s Wheel” welcomes you to Antoničin mlin, near Žrnovnica, for five days of connection and community. The first day, open to everyone, runs on donations that support the Red Noses humanitarian initiative for children. The “Small Handpan School” offers masterclasses for beginners and advanced players, while the “Robinson Camp” gives you the chance to sleep under the stars. River bathing, yoga, tai chi, and shiatsu sessions help you reconnect with your body, while djembe, instrument-making, mandala drawing, and children’s storytelling workshops add even more creativity to the experience. Expert-led talks on Slavic mythology immerse participants in local traditions. The lineup features Kabeção, Daniel Waples, Quentin Moreau, Ivan Judaš, Josephine Pia Wild, Mayiia, Maja Wlazly Duo, Arachai, Enes Begovski, and other European talents. A first day dedicated to Red Noses donations highlights the festival’s humanitarian commitment. Lightweight and compact, your handpan will fit right in for sunset improvisations and magical concerts. Bring your instrument and support this meaningful adventure today.

Play the handpan alongside an original tongue drum

The handpan and tongue drum make a complementary duo, creating a subtle conversation between metallic resonance and tongue-style percussion. The tongue drum, often made of steel or wood, has a shorter, rounder tone, while the handpan delivers a long sustain rich in harmonics. Together, they let you explore a wide range of textures: the tongue drum can handle driving rhythms, while the handpan layers flowing melodies on top. In duo workshops, you’ll learn how to synchronize your strikes, balance levels, and build polyrhythmic arrangements. This practice is ideal for outdoor sessions, studio recording, or structured jam sessions. You can also record the duo to share your creations online. Play the handpan alongside a tongue drum to discover a unique sonic symbiosis, and order your handpan today to kick off this inspiring musical pairing.

Unmask the fake specialists and order the authentic handpan

Some unscrupulous sellers spread the idea that the handpan, or Hang, was used by Shaolin monks for thousands of years. In reality, this instrument has no ancient history and no direct link to Chinese martial arts. It was created in Switzerland in 2000 by Felix Rohner and Sabrina Schärer, two passionate makers, and original Hang production ended in 2014 to preserve its exclusivity. Made from two convex steel shells welded together and tuned to a 1:2:3 frequency ratio (fundamental, octave, and compound fifth), it offers a sound spectrum that’s ideal for meditation and relaxation. Used in music therapy and sound therapy, the handpan also draws inspiration from the gong, ghatam, and alpine bell. When you choose a handcrafted instrument from Instruments du Monde, you’re choosing the true origin of the handpan and the quality of an authentic sound. Order yours now.

Bellart, an Andalusian workshop that marked the beginnings of the handpan

Founded in Spain in the late 2000s by craftsman Luis Martín Eguiguren Garrido, Bellart became known as one of the first European handpan workshops. Their instruments stand out for a carefully finished central ding and a circular note layout that extends the aesthetic of the PANArt Hang (a central note surrounded by tuned fields). The process blends hot forming, patient hammering, and tuning by ear to produce full-bodied tones and stable harmonics, often in scales of around nine notes depending on the series. Bellart stopped production in the early 2010s, and today these instruments are mostly found on the second-hand market. If you’re drawn to that signature sound, explore the Instruments du Monde models inspired by this legacy. Add your future handpan to your cart now.
