Originally, in the early 2000s, the Hang was invented by Felix Rohner and Sabina Schärer, two Swiss craftsmen from the PANArt company. The first generations of \u003cstrong\u003eHang\u003c\/strong\u003e, built in the company’s workshops in Bern, offered more than 45 different tunings inspired by musical scales from around the world, such as Akebono, Hijaz, and Zhi Diao. As materials and the concept kept improving, the Hang’s shape was refined to achieve better acoustics. The second generation of Hang instruments offered far fewer sound variations for interested buyers. In parallel, other makers used the Hang as a starting point to create handpans. Some were even described as “mutants” because they featured notes between the ding and the outer circle of notes. Born from constant evolution, explore the world of the handpan by choosing a one-of-a-kind model.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eExplore the different handpan scales for all levels\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe handpan is a \u003cstrong\u003emelodic instrument\u003c\/strong\u003e that offers a wide palette of tones to satisfy even the most demanding musicians. That’s why each handpan is tuned to a specific scale. Every scale uses a different set of notes that gives the instrument its own character. Some feel more mystical and relaxing, while others evoke Asian, African, or Celtic melodies. These scales also vary in difficulty. One of the most popular and easiest to pick up is D Kurd, with the big advantage of being soothing. That’s why it’s generally recommended for beginner percussionists. Whatever your level, there’s a handpan made for you—get yours and start exploring this captivating sound world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDiscover the harmonising effects of the handpan on the body and mind\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile the \u003cstrong\u003ehandpan\u003c\/strong\u003e was first conceived as a percussion instrument where rhythm plays a central role in creating rich, complex melodies, many wellness practitioners have embraced it as a powerful tool for sound therapy. This is largely because it produces a unique spectrum of frequencies that feels deeply pleasant to the ear. As a result, people often feel more relaxed and less stressed after listening to just a few notes played on a handpan. It’s no surprise, then, that some professionals use it to create a soundscape that supports relaxation and even meditation. What’s more, you don’t need to be an advanced musician to tap into the handpan’s full potential.

This creation grew out of a 1999 meeting with Reto Weber, a percussionist passionate about the ghatam, a South Indian clay pot drum. The duo used a \u003cstrong\u003enitrided steel alloy called Pang\u003c\/strong\u003e, enriched with nitrogen to modify its mechanical properties and produce rich harmonics. Presented at the Musikmesse in Frankfurt in 2001, the first-generation Hang had eight notes arranged in a circle around the central “ding” and was available in 45 sound models (Ake Bono, Hijaz, Pygmée, Melog, Zhi Diao). Around 5,000 units were manufactured and sold through a select few distributors. Buying one often meant sending a handwritten letter and waiting for months. After production ended in 2013, PANArt focused on the Gubal and HangBal, while other makers such as Kyle Cox (Pantheon Steel) and Victor Levinson (SPB) launched their own handpans.

A true 21st-century instrument, it consists of two steel shells fixed together and hand-tuned by artisans, resulting in a one-of-a-kind sonic character. The central note, called the “ding,” is surrounded by seven or eight dimples, each generating a distinct, harmonious tone. This design allows aspiring musicians, even complete beginners, to follow their intuition and spontaneously improvise beautiful melodies. The handpan fits perfectly into sophrology, meditation, or music therapy practices, where its soothing vibrations support relaxation and focus. It’s also used in concerts and collaborative sound projects, offering virtually limitless artistic freedom. PANArt instruments are sought after for their rich, deep tone, while independent makers offer a wide variety of finishes and original scales. Each model is unique, reflecting rare know-how and a hands-on process that can take several days. The sounds you’ll discover feel endless, with a soundscape that’s always renewing itself.

Its convex shape projects sound waves in all directions, creating an immersive experience, whether played live in a specialised centre or enjoyed through recordings at home. Each note, tuned to 1:2:3—fundamental tone, harmonic octave, and composite fifth—forms the basis of \u003cstrong\u003ebuilding mental resilience through handpan vibrations\u003c\/strong\u003e, acting directly on the brain and encouraging a flow state as well as muscle relaxation. Music therapy practitioners particularly appreciate the phenomenon of “entrainment,” where the body naturally synchronises with the vibrations of the handpan, helping release tension and stress. Contrary to myths perpetuated by some merchants, this instrument was never played by Shaolin monks centuries ago, and its initial production under the name Hang was discontinued in 2014 to limit its distribution. Today, artisans such as those collaborating with Instruments du Monde hammer each note by hand, guaranteeing a unique instrument that is both robust and delicate.

A historic photo of the Oval Boys in 1944 captures the 16-year-old Mannette working in an open-air workshop. Mark Garner interviewed him in 2012 to detail his tuning methods, inspiring the artisans at PANArt to develop the Hang in 2000, the ancestor of the handpan. Unlike the first-generation Hang, limited to eight notes around the ding, the modern handpan has expanded, with more than 300 makers and new surface treatments. Panyards, often located near Port of Spain, were hubs of collective creativity where musicians and craftspeople experimented with tuning by ear—a spirit carried on at HangOut UK since 2008.

Normally, a central note, the ding, sits in the middle of the instrument, while the other notes form a circle around the outer edge. This handpan model, named Eclipse, adds two extra notes between the ding and that outer circle. It then becomes a \u003cstrong\u003emutant handpan\u003c\/strong\u003e—a kind of transformation or evolution, as if the DNA of the original handpan had been altered to create a sound sculpture with more possibilities and greater richness for composing.

Created by Dipak Thakkar, founder of MusiCurry and the Handpan India Community, this event blends handpan and Indian classical music, with performances by Pt. Ronu Majumdar (flute), Aditya Kalyanpur (tabla), Jeremy Nattagh, Carola Ortiz (clarinet), Martin Dubois (kora, vocals), and Tatsunori Hara. Workshops in vocals, percussion, instrument making, and kundalini yoga invite an artistic awakening within the area’s cultural kaleidoscope.

Some, such as Pantheon Steel and Bellart, aim to stay close to the original sound, while others, such as Spacedrum (Philippe Maignaut), Metal Sounds, Meinl, or Sela, offer alternative shapes and materials, sometimes using self-stabilising alloys that remove the need for nitriding. Innovations include the number of notes, improved tuning stability thanks to new forming methods, and the addition of more refined tonal options. Each craftsperson adapts their instruments to different scales (major, harmonic minor, Pygmy), creating an extremely diverse sound palette. This worldwide momentum has turned the handpan into a true cultural phenomenon, from Pantheon Steel to small independent workshops in France or Japan, such as Spacedrum, Echo Sound Sculpture, and Bellart, each bringing its own touch to shape, surface treatment, and scales. Several makers offer tunings at 440 Hz or 432 Hz depending on the audience, while others explore 10-note versions to expand the palette even further.

Thanks to its warm timbre and diatonic or pentatonic scales, it blends beautifully with saxophone, clarinet, or double bass, as shown by contemporary orchestral projects. Composers even explore its role in chamber ensembles, adding an innovative colour to brass, strings, and keyboards. Many modern artists also weave it into their grooves, creating hypnotic rhythms and floating atmospheres. \u003cstrong\u003eExplore the handpan in jazz, classical, and contemporary music\u003c\/strong\u003e to enrich your compositions. Online platforms offer style-specific tutorials, while themed festivals, such as Jazz à Vienne, host dedicated masterclasses.

Its soft, unusual tones are especially appreciated by students to help them ease into a contemplative state. That may be partly thanks to the instrument’s deep-rooted inspirations: when designing it, Felix Rohner and Sabina Schärer drew ideas from instruments around the world, such as the alpine bell, the gong, and the Indian ghatam. And that’s only the beginning because, beyond yoga, wellness professionals are opening the door to other uses as well. For example, it’s now commonly used for sound massage sessions and in music therapy. \u003cstrong\u003eOrder your future handpan\u003c\/strong\u003e from our store and start exploring everything it can bring to your yoga practice.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Instruments du Monde","offers":[{"title":"440 Hertz","offer_id":51397192057171,"sku":"handpan-eclipse-440-hz-12-notes","price":1399.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"432 Hertz","offer_id":51397192089939,"sku":"handpan-eclipse-432-hz-12-notes","price":1399.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0554\/9454\/1508\/files\/Handpan-eclipse.jpg?v=1791733780"},{"product_id":"handpan-classique","title":"Classic Handpan","description":"\u003ch2\u003eEnjoy a piece performed on this sound sculpture\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/NxRhVYKIxxE\" title=\"Classic Handpan\" width=\"560\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLet the handpan’s sound resonate through your life—starting now with this classic model!\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTreat yourself to a handpan, a percussion instrument that has become a classic among musicians\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen it comes to handpans, the most traditional, timeless model is the one designed by PANArt in the early 2000s.

Made from two welded nitrided steel half-shells, it owes its name to the word “Hang,” which means “hand” in the Bernese dialect, emphasising the importance of playing by hand. To preserve its exclusivity, its creators asked buyers to write a letter explaining their motivation and stopped production in 2014, making a brand-new Hang virtually impossible to find. This unique instrument, combining the influences of the Asian gong, the Indian ghatam, and the alpine bell, generates three frequencies per note (fundamental, octave, and fifth) to induce a state of deep relaxation. Used in music therapy and art therapy, it promotes muscle relaxation and inner peace. Modern artisans, such as those selected by Instruments du Monde in France, still hammer each note by hand, guaranteeing artisanal quality and authentic sound. Treat yourself to this exceptional sound experience and order your legendary instrument.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eImmerse yourself in the fight to protect the handpan\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn September 2020, Handpan Community United (HCU) was created to protect the craft in response to PANArt’s legal actions. This organisation brings together more than 1,000 members—manufacturers, musicians, and enthusiasts—and works with the law firm Bird \u0026amp; Bird to defend artisans in the Netherlands and Europe. Following Ayasa’s conviction in the first instance in early 2020, HCU launched a crowdfunding campaign in mid-October 2020 to cover the legal costs of the infringement proceedings. It is also working with experts to develop a usage charter that will allow musicians to continue presenting their handpans in concerts, workshops, and online videos without legal risk. This movement advocates for the preservation of the term “handpan,” discovered on Handpan.org by Kyle Cox in 2007, and encourages the sharing of the tuning secrets of Pang, the nitrided steel alloy pioneered by PANArt. Every donation helps to ensure free access to these instruments and to support new artisans.

The term “handpan,” a direct descendant of this pioneering instrument, officially appeared in 2009. As its name suggests, it is played with bare hands and produces no wrong notes thanks to its hammered steel structure arranged around the central “ding” and 7 to 8 peripheral dimples. The handpan has become the go-to instrument for yoga, meditation, and music therapy enthusiasts thanks to its \u003cstrong\u003esoothing vibrations and intuitive design\u003c\/strong\u003e.

Its tuning must be done by hand, with precise gestures that makers spend hundreds—sometimes thousands—of hours mastering. That’s the unique expertise behind this black, stainless-steel handpan.

In 2007, Kyle Cox of Pantheon Steel introduced the term handpan on Handpan.org to respect the registered trademark. At the same time, an Israeli distributor popularised “Pantam” before Victor Levinson, creator of the SPB, adopted it in 2014 for his instruments. Some even refer to it as the “UFO drum” because of its futuristic silhouette. On Hangblog.org, the community debated the use of Hang drum and handpan, while Bellart (Philippe Maignaut) and Echo Sound Sculpture (Ezhan) highlighted the diversity of terminology. Today, these terms coexist, reflecting the creativity of today’s makers. Choose your handpan and step into this rich tradition of naming.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eImmerse yourself in the unique sound of the Hang to reduce stress\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRevolutionary since its launch in 2000 in Bern, the Hang gave birth to modern handpans while preserving its three-part tuning approach: fundamental, octave, and fifth. Each note, shaped by hand-hammering on nitrided steel, creates a \u003cstrong\u003evibrational experience with deeply relaxing qualities\u003c\/strong\u003e. Today, meditation centres and yoga practitioners use these instruments alongside Tibetan singing bowls to amplify their therapeutic effect. Contemporary handpans, available at Instruments du Monde, combine durability with a pure, resonant tone, helping support stress relief and better focus. Treat yourself to this unique sound experience and transform your downtime.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCombine handpan and contemporary dance for a unique performance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe handpan is showing up more and more in stage productions, especially contemporary dance. Its enveloping tone helps choreographers synchronise movement with organic rhythm. Companies in France, such as Compagnie La Marche, create performances where the dancer also plays the handpan, building a live dialogue between gesture and sound. This pairing offers a rich sensory experience, blending physical expression with musical improvisation. The handpan becomes a true stage partner, able to shift the atmosphere in real time. \u003cstrong\u003eIntegrate the handpan into your artistic creations\u003c\/strong\u003e and order your instrument to explore new forms of stage expression.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTake part in the jam sessions at the PANiaque Handpan Festival in Quebec\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe PANiaque Handpan Festival, which celebrated its 10th edition in 2024, is located on the shores of a lake in Quebec.

The \"ding\" design evolved into a cleaner, more refined shape, and the remaining eight tone fields were optimised for longer resonance. Only a few Free Integral Hang models were released, reinforcing its aura as a collector's piece. After this period, PANArt chose to stop producing the Hang altogether to focus on the Gubal, Gudu, and HangBal. Embrace this memorable chapter of history by investing in a handpan inspired by the Free Integral Hang.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eEmbrace the ideal frequencies of the handpan for deep and instant meditation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen creating the Hang in 2000, Felix Rohner and Sabrina Schärer drew on frequency science to tune each tone field using precise ratios. Each note includes a fundamental, an octave at half its frequency, and a fifth at one-third, creating a spectrum that supports well-being and can invite deep relaxation. Although we don't know exactly how these frequencies work, many users report benefits such as reduced stress and an improved mood. The handpan’s natural vibrato, created by its double convex welded steel shell, helps project an even, 360° sound field. Easy to play with no musical background, this instrument is used by music therapists in yoga sessions, sound massage, and art therapy. Whether you’re listening to a CD, watching a video, or enjoying a live concert, the handpan can turn your space into a sanctuary of serenity. \u003cstrong\u003eOrder your handpan now!\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Instruments du Monde","offers":[{"title":"9 Notes \/ 440 Hertz","offer_id":51458915926355,"sku":"Handpan-Fusion-9-notes-440-hz","price":799.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"9 Notes \/ 432 Hertz","offer_id":51458915959123,"sku":"Handpan-Fusion-9-notes-432-hz","price":799.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"10 Notes \/ 440 Hertz","offer_id":51458915991891,"sku":"Handpan-Fusion-10-notes-440-hz","price":899.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"10 Notes \/ 432 Hertz","offer_id":51458916024659,"sku":"Handpan-Fusion-10-notes-432-hz","price":899.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"12 Notes \/ 440 Hertz","offer_id":51458916057427,"sku":"Handpan-Fusion-12-notes-440-hz","price":1099.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"12 Notes \/ 432 Hertz","offer_id":51458916090195,"sku":"Handpan-Fusion-12-notes-432-hz","price":1099.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0554\/9454\/1508\/files\/Handpan-fusion.jpg?v=1791319972"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0554\/9454\/1508\/collections\/Handpan-12-notes.jpg?v=1791041141","url":"https:\/\/instruments-du-monde.com\/en-nz\/collections\/12-note-handpan.oembed","provider":"Instruments du Monde","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
