Inspired by the handpan, as well as the Whale Drum and the Tambiro, Dennis gradually developed an affordable instrument made from recycled materials, including a gas cylinder, that could still produce beautiful sounds. It only took a few years, plus videos shared online, for makers around the world to adopt this new instrument and begin offering their own versions for sale.
