Originating deep in India, the ghatam is a terracotta pot about 50 cm (20 in) in diameter that the percussionist strikes with their hands on the body and the opening to produce sounds—much like the handpan. The major difference is the handpan’s shape and its material—nitrided or stainless steel—borrowed from the steel drum, a Caribbean instrument. So it’s fair to say that the handpan is the worthy heir to both the ghatam and the steel drum, combining inspiration from each into one unforgettable instrument.

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 specialised 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. Get your handpan now and step into this fascinating world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe handpan: an ideal instrument for music therapy and meditation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFirst and foremost, the \u003cstrong\u003ehandpan\u003c\/strong\u003e was designed as a true musical instrument—one you can use to create harmonious melodies and rhythms.

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.

The first generations of \u003cstrong\u003eHang\u003c\/strong\u003e, built in the company’s workshops in Bern, offered more than 45 different tunings inspired by musical scales from around the world, such as Akebono, Hijaz, and Zhi Diao. As materials and the concept kept improving, the Hang’s shape was refined to achieve better acoustics. The second generation of Hang instruments offered far fewer sound variations for interested buyers. In parallel, other makers used the Hang as a starting point to create handpans. Some were even described as “mutants” because they featured notes between the ding and the outer circle of notes.

That’s why each handpan is tuned to a specific scale. Every scale uses a different set of notes that gives the instrument its own character. Some feel more mystical and relaxing, while others evoke Asian, African, or Celtic melodies. These scales also vary in difficulty. One of the most popular and easiest to pick up is D Kurd, with the big advantage of being soothing. That’s why it’s generally recommended for beginner percussionists.

As a result, people often feel more relaxed and less stressed after listening to just a few notes played on a handpan.

The original inspiration for the handpan was the Indian ghatam, an instrument resembling a jar or terracotta flower pot measuring about 50–60 cm (20–24 in) in diameter, which the percussionist strikes with their hands to produce sound. The idea was then to transform the \u003cstrong\u003eghatam\u003c\/strong\u003e into a 100% metal sound object. To achieve this, nitrided steel—used for the \u003cstrong\u003esteel drum\u003c\/strong\u003e, an instrument from Trinidad and Tobago in the Caribbean—was chosen for its acoustic properties. Drawing on many other instruments such as the musical saw and bells, the characteristic shape of the handpan was developed.

This creation grew out of a 1999 meeting with Reto Weber, a percussionist passionate about the ghatam, a South Indian clay pot drum. The duo used a \u003cstrong\u003enitrided steel alloy called Pang\u003c\/strong\u003e, enriched with nitrogen to modify its mechanical properties and produce rich harmonics. Presented at the Musikmesse in Frankfurt in 2001, the first-generation Hang had eight notes arranged in a circle around the central “ding” and was available in 45 sound models (Ake Bono, Hijaz, Pygmée, Melog, Zhi Diao). Around 5,000 units were manufactured and sold through a select few distributors. Buying one often meant sending a handwritten letter and waiting for months. After production ended in 2013, PANArt focused on the Gubal and HangBal, while other makers such as Kyle Cox (Pantheon Steel) and Victor Levinson (SPB) launched their own handpans.

The central note, called the “ding,” is surrounded by seven or eight dimples, each generating a distinct, harmonious tone. This design allows aspiring musicians, even complete beginners, to follow their intuition and spontaneously improvise beautiful melodies. The handpan fits perfectly into sophrology, meditation, or music therapy practices, where its soothing vibrations support relaxation and focus. It’s also used in concerts and collaborative sound projects, offering virtually limitless artistic freedom.

Its convex shape projects sound waves in all directions, creating an immersive experience, whether played live in a specialised centre or enjoyed through recordings at home. Each note, tuned to 1:2:3—fundamental tone, harmonic octave, and composite fifth—forms the basis of \u003cstrong\u003ebuilding mental resilience through handpan vibrations\u003c\/strong\u003e, acting directly on the brain and encouraging a flow state as well as muscle relaxation. Music therapy practitioners particularly appreciate the phenomenon of “entrainment,” where the body naturally synchronises with the vibrations of the handpan, helping release tension and stress. Contrary to myths perpetuated by some merchants, this instrument was never played by Shaolin monks centuries ago, and its initial production under the name Hang was discontinued in 2014 to limit its distribution. Today, artisans such as those collaborating with Instruments du Monde hammer each note by hand, guaranteeing a unique instrument that is both robust and delicate.

A historic photo of the Oval Boys in 1944 captures the 16-year-old Mannette working in an open-air workshop. Mark Garner interviewed him in 2012 to detail his tuning methods, inspiring the artisans at PANArt to develop the Hang in 2000, the ancestor of the handpan. Unlike the first-generation Hang, limited to eight notes around the ding, the modern handpan has expanded, with more than 300 makers and new surface treatments. Panyards, often located near Port of Spain, were hubs of collective creativity where musicians and craftspeople experimented with tuning by ear—a spirit carried on at HangOut UK since 2008.

Some, such as Pantheon Steel and Bellart, aim to stay close to the original sound, while others, such as Spacedrum (Philippe Maignaut), Metal Sounds, Meinl, or Sela, offer alternative shapes and materials, sometimes using self-stabilising alloys that remove the need for nitriding. Innovations include the number of notes, improved tuning stability thanks to new forming methods, and the addition of more refined tonal options. Each craftsperson adapts their instruments to different scales (major, harmonic minor, Pygmy), creating an extremely diverse sound palette. This worldwide momentum has turned the handpan into a true cultural phenomenon, from Pantheon Steel to small independent workshops in France or Japan, such as Spacedrum, Echo Sound Sculpture, and Bellart, each bringing its own touch to shape, surface treatment, and scales. Several makers offer tunings at 440 Hz or 432 Hz depending on the audience, while others explore 10-note versions to expand the palette even further.

Thanks to its warm timbre and diatonic or pentatonic scales, it blends beautifully with saxophone, clarinet, or double bass, as shown by contemporary orchestral projects. Composers even explore its role in chamber ensembles, adding an innovative colour to brass, strings, and keyboards. Many modern artists also weave it into their grooves, creating hypnotic rhythms and floating atmospheres. \u003cstrong\u003eExplore the handpan in jazz, classical, and contemporary music\u003c\/strong\u003e to enrich your compositions.

Its soft, unusual tones are especially appreciated by students to help them ease into a contemplative state. That may be partly thanks to the instrument’s deep-rooted inspirations: when designing it, Felix Rohner and Sabina Schärer drew ideas from instruments around the world, such as the alpine bell, the gong, and the Indian ghatam. And that’s only the beginning because, beyond yoga, wellness professionals are opening the door to other uses as well. For example, it’s now commonly used for sound massage sessions and in music therapy. \u003cstrong\u003eOrder your future handpan\u003c\/strong\u003e from our store and start exploring everything it can bring to your yoga practice.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Instruments du Monde","offers":[{"title":"440 Hertz","offer_id":51397192057171,"sku":"handpan-eclipse-440-hz-12-notes","price":1399.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"432 Hertz","offer_id":51397192089939,"sku":"handpan-eclipse-432-hz-12-notes","price":1399.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0554\/9454\/1508\/files\/Handpan-eclipse.jpg?v=1791733780"},{"product_id":"handpan-14-notes","title":"14-Note Handpan","description":"\u003ch2\u003eEnjoy the acoustics of this musical instrument in this video\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/3K7RLgPfSwA?si=kTNeaO-eHHTOkdAI\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFollow this musician’s lead and let the 14 notes of this golden handpan inspire you!\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCreate unlimited melodies with this 14-note handpan\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe number of notes on a handpan doesn’t determine how hard it is to learn.

Made from two welded nitrided steel half-shells, it owes its name to the word “Hang,” which means “hand” in the Bernese dialect, emphasising the importance of playing by hand. To preserve its exclusivity, its creators asked buyers to write a letter explaining their motivation and stopped production in 2014, making a brand-new Hang virtually impossible to find. This unique instrument, combining the influences of the Asian gong, the Indian ghatam, and the alpine bell, generates three frequencies per note (fundamental, octave, and fifth) to induce a state of deep relaxation. Used in music therapy and art therapy, it promotes muscle relaxation and inner peace.

Following Ayasa’s conviction in the first instance in early 2020, HCU launched a crowdfunding campaign in mid-October 2020 to cover the legal costs of the infringement proceedings. It is also working with experts to develop a usage charter that will allow musicians to continue presenting their handpans in concerts, workshops, and online videos without legal risk. This movement advocates for the preservation of the term “handpan,” discovered on Handpan.org by Kyle Cox in 2007, and encourages the sharing of the tuning secrets of Pang, the nitrided steel alloy pioneered by PANArt.

The term “handpan,” a direct descendant of this pioneering instrument, officially appeared in 2009. As its name suggests, it is played with bare hands and produces no wrong notes thanks to its hammered steel structure arranged around the central “ding” and 7 to 8 peripheral dimples. The handpan has become the go-to instrument for yoga, meditation, and music therapy enthusiasts thanks to its \u003cstrong\u003esoothing vibrations and intuitive design\u003c\/strong\u003e.

For music therapy, Lina Rossi has published Handpan for Meditation, which focuses on sophrology practices. Finally, Johan Jansen traces the history of the Hang and the handpan in Captain Hang.

This shape, proven over centuries, has been adapted to the two Pang nitrided steel shells to balance the warmth of the harmonics and the clarity of the notes. Artisans such as Echo Sound Sculpture (Ezhan) and Bellart (Luis Martin Eguiguren Garrido) have adopted these principles for their own models, while Pantheon Steel and Spacedrum are now exploring new alloys. The result is an instrument capable of evoking both the depth of a gong and the polyphony of a gamelan.

Tuned according to a 1:2:3 ratio—fundamental, octave, and fifth—each note generates a \u003cstrong\u003ewealth of harmonics used in art therapy\u003c\/strong\u003e and music therapy to relieve stress. To preserve the instrument’s exclusivity, the creators required a written explanation of your motivation before selling you one, and they stopped production in 2014, making brand-new instruments nearly impossible to find. Inspired by this success, artisans in Europe, America, and Asia now produce handpans, preserving the traditional methods of hammering and tuning. These instruments fit perfectly into yoga sessions, sound massages, and guided meditations, helping release tension and intrusive thoughts.

In 2007, Kyle Cox of Pantheon Steel introduced the term handpan on Handpan.org to respect the registered trademark. At the same time, an Israeli distributor popularised “Pantam” before Victor Levinson, creator of the SPB, adopted it in 2014 for his instruments. Some even refer to it as the “UFO drum” because of its futuristic silhouette. On Hangblog.org, the community debated the use of Hang drum and handpan, while Bellart (Philippe Maignaut) and Echo Sound Sculpture (Ezhan) highlighted the diversity of terminology. Today, these terms coexist, reflecting the creativity of today’s makers. Choose your handpan and step into this rich tradition of naming.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eImmerse yourself in the unique sound of the Hang to reduce stress\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRevolutionary since its launch in 2000 in Bern, the Hang gave birth to modern handpans while preserving its three-part tuning approach: fundamental, octave, and fifth. Each note, shaped by hand-hammering on nitrided steel, creates a \u003cstrong\u003evibrational experience with deeply relaxing qualities\u003c\/strong\u003e. Today, meditation centres and yoga practitioners use these instruments alongside Tibetan singing bowls to amplify their therapeutic effect. Contemporary handpans, available at Instruments du Monde, combine durability with a pure, resonant tone, helping support stress relief and better focus. Treat yourself to this unique sound experience and transform your downtime.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCombine handpan and contemporary dance for a unique performance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe handpan is showing up more and more in stage productions, especially contemporary dance. Its enveloping tone helps choreographers synchronise movement with organic rhythm. Companies in France, such as Compagnie La Marche, create performances where the dancer also plays the handpan, building a live dialogue between gesture and sound. This pairing offers a rich sensory experience, blending physical expression with musical improvisation. The handpan becomes a true stage partner, able to shift the atmosphere in real time. \u003cstrong\u003eIntegrate the handpan into your artistic creations\u003c\/strong\u003e and order your instrument to explore new forms of stage expression.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTake part in the jam sessions at the PANiaque Handpan Festival in Quebec\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe PANiaque Handpan Festival, which celebrated its 10th edition in 2024, is located on the shores of a lake in Quebec.

Its worldwide popularity comes from its unique frequency ratio (1:2:3) and its two-shell steel design, inspired by the gong and the ghatam. Unscrupulous sellers sometimes perpetuate the idea of ancient origins, but it’s now impossible to buy a new Hang since production stopped in 2014.

The \"ding\" design evolved into a cleaner, more refined shape, and the remaining eight tone fields were optimised for longer resonance. Only a few Free Integral Hang models were released, reinforcing its aura as a collector's piece. After this period, PANArt chose to stop producing the Hang altogether to focus on the Gubal, Gudu, and HangBal. Embrace this memorable chapter of history by investing in a handpan inspired by the Free Integral Hang.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eEmbrace the ideal frequencies of the handpan for deep and instant meditation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen creating the Hang in 2000, Felix Rohner and Sabrina Schärer drew on frequency science to tune each tone field using precise ratios. Each note includes a fundamental, an octave at half its frequency, and a fifth at one-third, creating a spectrum that supports well-being and can invite deep relaxation. Although we don't know exactly how these frequencies work, many users report benefits such as reduced stress and an improved mood. The handpan’s natural vibrato, created by its double convex welded steel shell, helps project an even, 360° sound field. Easy to play with no musical background, this instrument is used by music therapists in yoga sessions, sound massage, and art therapy. Whether you’re listening to a CD, watching a video, or enjoying a live concert, the handpan can turn your space into a sanctuary of serenity. \u003cstrong\u003eOrder your handpan now!\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Instruments du Monde","offers":[{"title":"9 Notes \/ 440 Hertz","offer_id":51458915926355,"sku":"Handpan-Fusion-9-notes-440-hz","price":799.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"9 Notes \/ 432 Hertz","offer_id":51458915959123,"sku":"Handpan-Fusion-9-notes-432-hz","price":799.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"10 Notes \/ 440 Hertz","offer_id":51458915991891,"sku":"Handpan-Fusion-10-notes-440-hz","price":899.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"10 Notes \/ 432 Hertz","offer_id":51458916024659,"sku":"Handpan-Fusion-10-notes-432-hz","price":899.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"12 Notes \/ 440 Hertz","offer_id":51458916057427,"sku":"Handpan-Fusion-12-notes-440-hz","price":1099.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"12 Notes \/ 432 Hertz","offer_id":51458916090195,"sku":"Handpan-Fusion-12-notes-432-hz","price":1099.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0554\/9454\/1508\/files\/Handpan-fusion.jpg?v=1791319972"},{"product_id":"handpan-chromatique","title":"Chromatic Handpan","description":"\u003ch2\u003eGet more precision with this chromatic handpan\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike most handpans, which use diatonic, hexatonic, or pentatonic scales, this model is tuned to a chromatic scale. That means it includes all 12 notes within an octave. So you'll find the 7 standard notes (C, D, E, F, G, A, and B), plus 5 accidentals (sharps or flats). This lets musicians and percussionists play more nuanced melodies. The trade-off is that the notes are very close together, since only a semitone separates them.

On specialist sites like Mon Bol Tibétain, you will discover other complementary instruments: the 15-note steel tongue drum, Tibetan tingsha cymbals, the crystal harp, and the therapeutic tuning fork. Combined with the handpan, these instruments enrich your practice by adding new sound textures. For example, Tibetan cymbals produce high-pitched chimes that blend with the low notes of the handpan, while the crystal harp creates ethereal resonances that extend the vibration. Therapists often use this mix to create complete sound therapy sessions, where each instrument helps open a chakra or rebalance energy. By exploring these combinations, you can personalise your meditation or yoga ritual and find the soundscape that suits you. It's also an opportunity to teach your loved ones the importance of sound diversity in art therapy.

Its construction is based on two deeply embossed and nitrided steel shells, glued together with a special resin to form a resonant cavity. On the upper part, a central bump called the “ding” accommodates seven to nine sound fields tuned to a fundamental, an octave, and a compound fifth. Each note is adjusted with a hammer, and the whole instrument is calibrated by a serial number engraved on the inside, certifying its authenticity. A brass ring can be added to reinforce its strength. Unlike membranophones such as djembes or tablas, no stretched material vibrates—the entire metal emits the sound. This connection with musical vases highlights the evolution of the handpan, descended from Indian ghatams and Caribbean steelpans.
