The \u003cstrong\u003eHang\u003c\/strong\u003e first appeared in 2000, created by the Swiss makers Felix Rohner and Sabina Schärer, who spent several months developing this brand-new sound object. As the instrument’s popularity exploded, competing builders released their own versions under different names—and the one that resonated most with players was “handpan.” Meanwhile, PANArt, owned by the Swiss couple, registered the name Hang as its intellectual property, meaning no one other than PANArt is allowed to sell instruments under the name Hang. After discontinuing production in 2013, PANArt shifted its focus to building other instruments, such as the Gubal. Be part of this exciting musical adventure—treat yourself to your own handpan today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTake your first steps with the handpan, an instrument born in Switzerland\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe handpan, a Swiss instrument with a truly one-of-a-kind sound, has the huge advantage of being simple and intuitive to learn. That’s one of the reasons for its massive popularity—something its creators, Felix Rohner and Sabina Schärer, never expected. Unlike many instruments, even a beginner can create harmonious melodies on the handpan from the very first time they pick it up. It requires no music theory knowledge or major musical background. Anyone can play it, although a background in drumming can help, since drummers often have a natural sense of rhythm that translates well to the handpan. In addition, many online platforms offer free lessons to help you progress as smoothly as possible. Order your \u003cstrong\u003ehandpan\u003c\/strong\u003e and let yourself be carried away by its magical sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eExplore the Swiss origins of the handpan for your relaxation sessions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen discussing the origins of the handpan, the \u003cstrong\u003eIndian ghatam and Caribbean steel drum\u003c\/strong\u003e are often mentioned, but those are only part of what inspired its inventors. In fact, the members of the Swiss company PANArt also drew from Swiss alpine bells and musical saws to refine the handpan’s acoustics and vibrations. In the end, it became clear that the handpan can produce sounds that naturally soothe and relax listeners. It has since become a reference instrument in sound therapy and meditation practices. Many enthusiasts rely on the handpan as a proven way to reach a tranquil state. Experience its benefits for yourself—order your own handpan today and elevate your moments of relaxation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eJoin the handpan community at international gatherings\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom a community perspective, the handpan has a real gift for bringing people together—whether in Europe, Asia, or Africa. That’s why many gatherings featuring hundreds of \u003cstrong\u003ehandpan players\u003c\/strong\u003e are organised, such as the Pangonia Handpan Festival in Berlin or the Vivaan in India. The idea is to host workshops and concerts that strengthen the handpan community while introducing new rhythms and compositions.
