Delve into the Caribbean origins of the handpan
Surprisingly, if Caribbean steel drums had never existed, the handpan likely would never have been invented—much to the disappointment of percussionists who love this instrument. To create the Hang, the company PANArt, led by Felix Rohner and Sabina Schärer, drew on more than 20 years of experience to select and shape the metal used to make it. In this case, it was plain steel that was nitrided to help it resist impacts and rust. Since then, materials have evolved significantly. Today, you can even find handpans made from stainless steel or ember steel. One thing remains certain: without the influence of that iconic “exotic drum,” the handpan wouldn’t be what it is today. Discover the handpan and let yourself be transported by its Caribbean-inspired sound.
Explore the handpan, an instrument that is surprisingly easy to learn
Think you’ve never been “musical”? Never really played a musical instrument before? Is music theory—or even reading sheet music—totally unfamiliar to you? If you answered yes to all of the above, the handpan is the perfect instrument to start with. With a handpan, even first-time musicians can quickly and easily play melodies. Everything is designed to make it simple. The notes are tuned during manufacturing, so you don’t have to deal with the long, delicate tuning process yourself. Plus, the limited number of notes keeps beginners from getting overwhelmed by an overly complex instrument. Get yourself a handpan and get ready for an unforgettable musical experience.
The role of the handpan in sound therapy and stress management
A form of alternative care, music therapy (sometimes called melotherapy) uses instruments and music to support well-being for people who need it, especially during challenging times. That’s why you’ll find these professionals in hospitals, clinics, retirement communities, and nursing homes. In this setting, whether therapy is active or receptive, instruments described as “zen” or relaxing are commonly used—such as tongue drums, kalimbas, and handpans. The handpan’s sound and acoustic vibrations are truly unique for their softness and calming effect, which is why it’s so valued in this practice. Explore the benefits of the handpan and treat yourself to a one-of-a-kind relaxation experience.
Take part in handpan festivals in Europe and around the world
A powerful tool for connection, the handpan has been growing in popularity year after year. As a result, more and more festivals are being organised across Europe and around the world, giving musicians a place to meet and share their musical experiences. Whether you attend events such as the Castle Handpan Festival in France or PANiaque in Quebec, you’ll discover a community of artists such as Steve Grisé, Serge Daher, and Jocsan Rivera. These events are made easier by the fact that the handpan is compact and simple to transport. All you need is a case to take this saucer-shaped object, weighing about 4 kg, wherever you’d like. Join this big family of enthusiasts by purchasing your own handpan and let yourself be inspired by this unique instrument.
