Reveal your inner peace by playing this handcrafted handpan
Forget the myths touted by some sellers about the handpan's ancient Eastern origins: this instrument was created in Switzerland in 2000 by Felix Rohner and Sabina Schärer. Unlike the Hang, whose production was halted in 2014 to preserve its exclusivity, the handpan is now made by many passionate artisans. At Instruments du Monde, each instrument is tested manually and the notes are hammered by hand, guaranteeing consistent quality at a price that is often lower than the competition. Its welded steel structure, faithful to the original design, projects vibrational waves over a radius of several metres (several yards), creating an enveloping atmosphere conducive to meditation. Whether during outdoor sessions, in natural amphitheatres, or comfortably at home, the handpan diffuses its vibrations over a sufficient perimeter to envelop each participant. Zen enthusiasts appreciate its C or D tuning, as well as its instant stress-relieving effect. Whether you are a music therapist, yogi, or simply an enthusiast, you will feel the power of its frequencies arranged in perfect ratio, creating a true inner symphony. Experience the handcrafted handpan and order your instrument today.
