With this 10-note model tuned to the D Kurd scale and crafted from stainless steel, you’ll be able to explore all the creative possibilities the handpan has to offer. Let your mind wander as you feel the vibrations and overtones that bloom from the instrument with every touch.

When it was created between 1999 and 2000, its two inventors, \u003cstrong\u003eFelix Rohner and Sabina Schärer\u003c\/strong\u003e, cited inspirations such as the Caribbean steel drum and the Indian ghatam. Initially, the idea was to create an instrument that could be played like a ghatam, but made entirely of steel to ensure strength and durability. The Swiss company PANArt used an alloy called Pang, which they had previously used to make classic steel drums. The lenticular shape of the handpan emerged after numerous trials and delivered the best acoustic results. Add a handpan to your music collection and enjoy its enchanting vibrations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGet started easily with the handpan, an intuitive instrument\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf there were only one adjective to describe the handpan, or the Hang, it would surely be \"intuitive.\" Although the instrument may seem complicated because it’s still mysterious and relatively rare, it’s actually very easy to get the hang of.
