When the \u003cstrong\u003eHang\u003c\/strong\u003e became available to the public in 2000, PANArt didn’t anticipate how in-demand it would become and quickly couldn’t keep up with musicians eager to buy one. PANArt also chose not to scale up production, stating they didn’t want to get caught up in a race for profit. As a result, in the mid-2000s, dozens of artisans began creating their own Hang-inspired instruments, changing the name to respect PANArt’s copyrights. The most common name became handpan. Since then, PANArt has sought to shut down many of these manufacturers for copying its Hang. Dive into the fascinating history of the handpan by adding this instrument to your collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eLearn the handpan on your own or with a teacher\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can absolutely learn the handpan on your own. In fact, the first big names in handpan, such as \u003cstrong\u003eSam Maher, David Charrier, and Hang Massive\u003c\/strong\u003e, had to figure things out without outside help because they were pioneers of this brand-new percussion instrument when it appeared in 2000. That said, you can also work with a teacher to learn beautiful handpan melodies faster. With that in mind, the Instruments du Monde store includes a book with a video course taught by a true expert, making it easy to begin this unique musical adventure.
