Yet the idea came to \u003cstrong\u003eFelix Rohner and Sabina Schärer\u003c\/strong\u003e after meeting another professional musician, who asked if they could make a ghatam—an Indian clay percussion instrument—but in metal for greater durability. A ghatam is essentially a large clay pot that a percussionist strikes with their hands to produce sound. The handpan draws on that same concept, but swaps the pot shape for a lenticular form and replaces terracotta with nitrided steel.

For nearly 13 years, PANArt’s artisans refined the Hang’s materials and acoustics to produce exceptional instruments. But in 2013, PANArt stopped manufacturing the Hang to focus on other sound creations such as the Gubal and the HangBal, both closely inspired by the Hang concept. Meanwhile, \u003cstrong\u003epercussionists\u003c\/strong\u003e around the world were increasingly eager to own a Hang of their own. Other makers began building instruments identical in shape and feel, and the name “handpan” quickly became the go-to term. Interestingly, the handpan’s evolution also benefited from PANArt’s acoustic breakthroughs developed for the Gubal.

As a result, it’s not uncommon for someone who has never played music before to walk away from a one-hour introductory workshop playing a few catchy tunes on their handpan.

That’s exactly how this \u003cstrong\u003edouble-sided handpan\u003c\/strong\u003e was born. The top shell, with the ding, is tuned to a D Kurd minor scale, while the bottom shell, with the Gü, is tuned to a D Gong major scale. This lets musicians and percussionists play joyful, energetic pieces as well as calmer, more introspective melodies—simply by flipping the handpan from one side to the other.

First-generation models, with roughly 5,000 produced between 2001 and 2005, were released in more than 45 scales (Ake Bono, Hijaz, Pygmée, Melog, Zhi Diao) and sold by appointment at the Bern workshop. The HangHaus festival, hosted in the “House of the Hang,” allowed insiders to discover the instrument early. In 2005, after international dealers stepped back, other gatherings, such as HangOut UK (launched in 2008), became meeting points for musicians and makers to share and connect. This one-of-a-kind distribution inspired Kyle Cox to coin the term \u003cstrong\u003e“handpan”\u003c\/strong\u003e for generic instruments as early as 2007.

Pronounced “hong” in Bernese, “Hang” means “hand,” a reminder of the precision of manual hammering required to create these vibrations. Since Hang production ceased in 2014, independent luthiers across Europe, the United States, and Asia have been recreating this legendary instrument, often with a similar touch of inspiration from the Indian ghatam or the alpine bell. These handpans, available at Instruments du Monde, benefit from personalised tuning and meticulous finishing.

Marko West’s \"Handpan: Techniques and Improvisation\" offers progressive exercises for beginners, while Sarah Byrd’s \"The Art of the Handpan\" combines theory, compositions, and QR codes for video tutorials. For music therapy, Lina Rossi has published Handpan for Meditation, which focuses on sophrology practices. Finally, Johan Jansen traces the history of the Hang and the handpan in Captain Hang. Available in both French and English, these books offer graphic scores along with guidance on maintenance and tuning.

This shape, proven over centuries, has been adapted to the two Pang nitrided steel shells to balance the warmth of the harmonics and the clarity of the notes. Artisans such as Echo Sound Sculpture (Ezhan) and Bellart (Luis Martin Eguiguren Garrido) have adopted these principles for their own models, while Pantheon Steel and Spacedrum are now exploring new alloys. The result is an instrument capable of evoking both the depth of a gong and the polyphony of a gamelan.

Tuned according to a 1:2:3 ratio—fundamental, octave, and fifth—each note generates a \u003cstrong\u003ewealth of harmonics used in art therapy\u003c\/strong\u003e and music therapy to relieve stress. To preserve the instrument’s exclusivity, the creators required a written explanation of your motivation before selling you one, and they stopped production in 2014, making brand-new instruments nearly impossible to find. Inspired by this success, artisans in Europe, America, and Asia now produce handpans, preserving the traditional methods of hammering and tuning. These instruments fit perfectly into yoga sessions, sound massages, and guided meditations, helping release tension and intrusive thoughts.

Inspired by the gong, the ghatam, the steel drum, and even the musical saw, it produces a resonance rich in harmonics thanks to its three-part tuning (fundamental, octave, and fifth). With receptive meditation, many players experience a deep sense of calm, like birdsong or wind moving through leaves. Sound-healing sessions often include the handpan to support mental well-being and muscle relaxation, complementing sound massage and art therapy. Music therapy professionals also recommend it alongside yoga to deepen balance and overall well-being. No music theory required—just gently tap the surface to enjoy its benefits.

One of a kind, the festival featured demonstrations of first-generation Hang instruments in exotic scales such as Ake Bono, Hijaz, and Zhi Diao. After 2005, the workshop pulled back from international resellers, requiring enthusiasts to travel to Switzerland to purchase an instrument—and even send a handwritten letter explaining their motivation. With scarcity rising, HangOut UK emerged in 2008 in the United Kingdom, becoming a key gathering place to discover prototypes, discuss tuning, and attend concerts. On Handpan.org, founded by Kyle Cox in 2007, the community adopted the name “HangHaus festival in Bern” to refer to this legendary event. Today, the handpan carries on that spirit of sharing.

Popularised by Mongolian and Tibetan traditions, this vocal technique layers a stable drone with a melody of harmonics shaped by the mouth. Place your handpan with the ding facing the listener and build a simple pentatonic base; on top of that, vary the vowel, tongue position, and the opening of the mouth to “bring out” your voice’s harmonics. Many workshops, sometimes offered as part of music therapy, teach this dialogue between breath, vibration, and listening, including grounding exercises that support mind-body coherence. Even as a beginner, you can progress quickly: record short sessions (a smartphone is enough), identify the frequencies that line up between your voice and the handpan notes, then adjust the attack and duration of your strikes. This practice offers clear sensory feedback: you can feel the vibrations spreading through your chest and face.

Created in Bern around the year 2000 in the workshop of Felix Rohner and Sabrina Schärer, this idiophone, made from two stamped steel shells joined together to form a flattened sphere, resonates according to a 1:2:3 pattern (fundamental, octave, fifth). A few light strikes near the central dome are enough to produce long, enveloping harmonics, which are often used in relaxation sessions, yoga, and certain music therapy practices. With no imposed musical notation, the instrument responds to touch: even a beginner can weave simple, regular patterns that are conducive to refocusing. Practitioners sometimes combine it with other resonant instruments, such as singing bowls or gongs, for “sound massages” or guided meditations. Handcrafted by artisans who hammer and tune each note, \u003cstrong\u003ethe handpan is available in a variety of scales and finishes\u003c\/strong\u003e, offered in particular by specialist shops such as Instruments du Monde.

The secrets of the Pang alloy, nitriding, and shell shaping were thus disseminated, inspiring craftsmen such as Spacedrum in Switzerland and Bellart in Spain. This ongoing exchange between creativity and technical rigour is now the key to the sound quality of modern handpans.

It was created in Switzerland in 2000 by Felix Rohner and Sabrina Schärer, two passionate makers, and original Hang production ended in 2014 to preserve its exclusivity. Made from two convex steel shells welded together and tuned to a 1:2:3 frequency ratio (fundamental, octave, and compound fifth), it offers a sound spectrum that’s ideal for meditation and relaxation. Used in music therapy and sound therapy, the handpan also draws inspiration from the gong, ghatam, and alpine bell.

Each note produced by this \u003cstrong\u003eSwiss instrument\u003c\/strong\u003e, created in 2000 by Felix Rohner and Sabrina Schärer, blends a fundamental, an octave (2nd harmonic), and a perfect twelfth (3rd harmonic), forming the ideal 1:2:3 ratio. This structure, inspired by ancient instruments such as the gong and the ghatam, creates vibrations that can feel soothing for both body and mind. Acoustics researchers explain that the human brain naturally “locks onto” simple ratios like these, which can promote a sense of comfort and calm. Used in art therapy and music therapy, the handpan can encourage deep relaxation without requiring complex melodies. Easy to approach, it suits beginners and professionals alike, and each note can feel like an invitation to stillness.

Its rapid success inspired the creation of the handpan in 2009, designed to make this instrument more accessible to musicians around the world. The original Hang consisted of two folded and hammered steel shells, tuned to a 9-note scale. This formula evolved into lighter, modular handpans, making handcrafted production easier. The first Hang models featured an engraved serial number and a raw finish, elements that have since been replaced by nitriding and patina techniques to improve durability. The Hang has become a collector’s item, while the handpan carries forward its principles to offer a playful, intuitive experience. Museum exhibitions and technical conferences in Europe trace this evolution, highlighting the Hang’s impact on contemporary intuitive music. Explore the legacy of the Hang, invented in 2000, and order a handpan to continue this sonic lineage right in your own home.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eExperience the instant pleasure of the handpan without composing any melodies\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike instruments such as the violin, which require an expert to produce a harmonious melody, every handpan note sounds rewarding from the very first strike. This Swiss idiophone, developed in 2000 by Félix Rohner and Sabina Schärer, has no strings or membrane, but two convex steel shells welded together that resonate with a 1:2:3 tuning (fundamental, octave, fifth). This simplicity allows anyone, even without musical training, to fully enjoy its relaxing qualities. \u003cstrong\u003eEach note is beneficial\u003c\/strong\u003e for soothing the mind and body, thanks to its ideal frequency ratio. Used in guided meditation, yoga flow sessions, or sound massage, the handpan envelops the listener in a vibrational bath conducive to relaxation. The original creators at PANArt even requested a letter of motivation before providing a Hang, the insider’s version of the instrument, underscoring its rarity. Today, the handcrafted models from Instruments du Monde remain accessible, offering a pure, warm tone. Treat yourself to this instant pleasure and order your handpan now.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eExplore the origins of the steelpan modified by Pantheon Steel\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 2002, Kyle Cox and Jim Dusin founded Pantheon Steel in the United States to rethink the steelpan. The duo used pioneering tuning methods, borrowed from the ghatam and the Hang, to develop a prototype in 2007 called SPB, featuring nine notes and optimised \"shoulder tones.\" Pantheon Steel popularised \u003cstrong\u003ethe term handpan\u003c\/strong\u003e via Handpan.org, allowing for rapid dissemination of the practice. Their SPB incorporated a modular bottom port and partial nitriding, offering unprecedented tuning stability.

Classified in the Hornbostel–Sachs system as 111.24 (“percussion vessel”), this design draws inspiration from Trinidad steelpans and 8th-century ghatam pots. Each shell is shaped so a central dome, the ding, is surrounded by seven or eight notes. Once assembled, the instrument behaves like a Helmholtz resonator thanks to its lower opening (the gu), and its harmonies bloom through the 1:2:3 relationship. On the original Hang, each instrument was numbered and signed by Felix Rohner or Sabina Schärer, highlighting its handcrafted character. The brass ring introduced on the second generation, combined with the \u003cstrong\u003enitrided alloy, ensures durability and stability\u003c\/strong\u003e.

These get-togethers were held in an orchard near Paris and brought together a small group of enthusiasts for improvised jams and workshops blending maqâm with instruments from around the world. Created in 2000 by Swiss makers Felix Rohner and Sabina Schärer (PANArt), the Hang® is the ancestor of today’s handpan. Its portable design and captivating voice helped inspire events like the Handpan Festival in Sauvian and the GRIASDI gathering in Austria.

Each note blends a fundamental tone with an octave (at half the frequency) and a fifth, produced by two convex steel shells fused into a single body. Science still can’t fully explain why certain frequencies create discomfort while others promote well-being, but the effect is real. When you listen to or play a handpan, your brain can sync into a relaxed rhythm and slip into a deep meditative state. Even music therapists and psychologists use this instrument to help patients unwind. Try it and feel the energy move through you.

Some theorists attribute its invention to the Greek poet Sappho around 700 BC, although the modern form differs from the ancient version. Heard in jazz, rock, pop, and folk, the Mixolydian scale has stood the test of time, which means these sounds have always appealed to listeners.

The designers published a “Letter from the Hangbauhaus,” emphasising that their creations sit outside modern musical norms and encouraging a freer, more introspective approach. In 2010, the Free Integral Hang appeared, removing the brass ring and introducing a triple dome, while tuning each instrument without electronic devices. The ding varies around D3, and the tone fields retain seven notes. This evolution marks a return to handcrafted fundamentals and freedom of expression.

The idea, born in 2022, brings enthusiasts together for jam sessions, group lessons, and exhibitions by local luthiers. The 2023 festival, organised by 25 volunteers, welcomed more than 100 guests and featured performances by Mayiia, Serà, Tom Vaylo, and the duo 3KEYS. Participants travel by U-Bahn or bicycle thanks to the portability of their instruments, and then gather around vegan food stands, homemade kombucha, and Berlin pastries. Outdoor qigong workshops, handpan-making demonstrations, and jams by the Spree River complete this spirit of co-creation. \u003cstrong\u003eThe handpan fits in any bag for your musical encounters\u003c\/strong\u003e and lets you move from a park to an inner courtyard in minutes.

These metal percussion instruments share similarities with the handpan but have distinct characteristics. The tongue drum has tongues cut into its shell that produce soft, short tones. The Rav Vast, on the other hand, stands out for its depth and sustain—close to the handpan, but with different tuning structures. The handpan, with its two assembled shells and notes arranged around the “ding,” offers intuitive playability and a rich harmonic spectrum. Unlike the tongue drum, it lets you explore advanced techniques such as rolls and harmonics, and it’s equally at home in meditation sessions and on stage. \u003cstrong\u003eCompare the handpan, tongue drum, and Rav Vast before buying\u003c\/strong\u003e to choose the instrument that best suits your musical goals.

For Klaïm, “solidarity is infinite energy,” and he hopes the concept will spark other artistic initiatives. The open-stage aperitif, where audience members step on stage in exchange for a drink, encourages spontaneous expression, while an NZ$10 raffle gives you a chance to win three handpans, a tongue drum, and many other prizes. During the first edition, a rainbow appeared above the stage, a symbol of hope during a dark time. Yoga, shiatsu, jaw harp, and didgeridoo workshops round out the programme and remind us that everyone can contribute in their own way.

This limitation becomes a strength when you combine several differently tuned instruments. Invented in 2000 in Bern by Felix Rohner and Sabrina Schärer, the handpan is an idiophone made of two welded nitrided steel shells. Each note comprises a fundamental tone, an octave, and a fifth, creating a 1:2:3 tuning. By arranging handpans in the keys of D, E, or F together, you get a wider sound palette, ideal for music therapy and yoga sessions. The vibrations blend together, promoting well-being and immersing listeners in deep relaxation. Inspired by Caribbean steel drum orchestras and African traditions, this approach creates a harmonious wall of sound with fewer “wrong-note” moments. Take advantage of the expertise of the artisans collaborating with Instruments du Monde to choose your scales and build your set-up.

By modulating the surface of the gu (palm, thigh, body movement), the frequency and amplitude of this resonance can be varied, resulting in more pronounced low-frequency responses, which are useful for punctuating a motif or creating a “drone” under the melody. On some historical models of \u003cstrong\u003ethe Hang\u003c\/strong\u003e, as on contemporary handpans, musicians exploit this coupling to obtain muted attacks, regular pulses, or additional low notes that interact with the ding. The approach is reminiscent of gestures known on resonant idiophones such as the udu or ghatam: the airflow is sculpted as much as the instrument is struck. To explore this dimension, try different positions (height on your knees, distance from the ground), record short sequences, and observe how the opening, angle, and slight muffling near the edges affect the clarity of the harmonics. Gradually, this mastery of the gu becomes a real orchestration tool: it alternates between crystal-clear brightness and depth and enriches your improvisations without changing the tuning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eVisit concerts, festivals, and trade shows to try out the handpan\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeyond lessons and tutorials, one of the best ways to discover the handpan is to try it out in person at concerts, festivals, and trade shows. At these events, manufacturers set up stands where you can put your hands on different models and feel the nuances of each alloy and tuning. Music trade shows in France and Europe are welcoming more and more brands, allowing you to compare PANArt instruments with those of emerging artisans.

This design lets beginners play without fear of hitting a wrong note while exploring rich sound textures. On some instruments, a ninth note is added to enrich the range and open up new melodic possibilities. This architectural simplicity is one of the strengths of the handpan: it encourages musicians to focus on touch and nuance rather than theoretical considerations.

Each of these instruments presents a distinct evolution of the dome architecture and offers unique timbres, blending melody and percussion. The Pang strings complete this family with vibrations reminiscent of the harp. This diversification has given rise to a form of collective improvisational music called \"Pang,\" in which these instruments respond to one another.

The aim of this gathering is to grow the local community and promote the cultural riches of these volcanic islands. For three days, international musicians and artists from various disciplines come together for outdoor concerts, open mics, beginner to advanced workshops, and creative classes incorporating theatre, dance, and visual arts. The instrument, recently introduced to the archipelago by its creator, is now shaped by the local climate and culture, while participants discover how its tones blend with the ocean scenery. If you’d like to join the next edition, the team encourages you to contact them to be part of the line-up.

The handpan readily contributes to this: a few light strikes on this steel idiophone—the successor to the Hang, which appeared around 2000—unfold a spectrum of harmonics (fundamental, octave, fifth) that capture the attention without the effort of musical analysis. By focusing on the duration of the sound, its rise and fall, we can push distracting thoughts into the background and more easily follow the flow of our breathing. In relaxation or \u003cstrong\u003emusic\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e therapy\u003c\/strong\u003e sessions, some practitioners invite a simple sensory exploration: place your palms on the shell to feel the vibration spreading through your hands, chest, or back, then synchronise your breath with the attack of the notes. Whether you’re playing solo or in a group, this practice becomes a reference point: it structures time, establishes a calm rhythm, and encourages a return to the present. If you want to incorporate it into your sessions, choose a few very slow patterns, observe the resonances that anchor you best, and let your breathing guide your movements. Little by little, the instrument becomes a companion for attention rather than a simple source of sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDiscover new textures with handpan friction techniques\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBehind its minimalist appearance, \u003cstrong\u003ethe handpan offers a diversity of sound textures\u003c\/strong\u003e that go back to the instrument’s earliest days. Beyond fingertip strikes, you can lightly brush the surface with the flat of your hand to create a shaker-like sound reminiscent of maracas. Using a bow, as you would with a singing bowl, the central dome begins to vibrate and produces long, hypnotic harmonics. This friction technique turns the handpan into a versatile sound sculpture, echoing the legacy of traditional friction drums. Still relatively unknown, these approaches highlight how the instrument has continued to evolve since its beginnings in Bern. Each piece of nitrided steel invites intuitive exploration and opens the door to fresh improvisations. This flexibility echoes Asian and African instruments, proving the handpan’s ability to adapt to any musical culture.

Unlike membranophones, which rely on a stretched skin to vibrate, idiophones produce sound through the resonance of the entire instrument. The Hang and its descendants are classified under index 111.24, which refers to \u003cstrong\u003epercussion vessels\u003c\/strong\u003e. Their lens shape and the use of the gu bring them closer to Helmholtz resonators such as the ghatam and the udu. This classification confirms their different origin from djembes or congas, which rely on membranes. Despite this classification, many players borrow techniques from tablas or frame drums to enrich their playing, bridging the gap between idiophonic and membranophone percussion. By embracing this dual heritage, the handpan reflects a cultural and acoustic evolution. Learn about these nuances to fully appreciate this instrument and order your own handpan to explore its sonic diversity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMaster the sound nuances of your handcrafted handpan\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe handpan not only offers a unique timbre, it also lets you shape the sound through your touch. Designed in 2000 by Felix Rohner and Sabrina Schärer, this nitrided steel instrument is played directly with the hands, without sticks or picks. Experienced musicians know that the part of the hand used—fingertips, palm, or knuckles—and the precise contact point on the dimple affect acoustic impedance, influencing both pitch and sustain. A strike in the centre creates a deep, sustained tone, while a light touch near the edge delivers a crystalline resonance. This sensitivity lets you explore a wide range of emotions, from sensuality to joy. In workshops, music therapists teach these techniques to expand the sound palette and tailor each session to the participant’s needs. Learn to play with finesse and discover how each gesture can transform your experience.

Among the pioneers, Austrian musician Manu Delago brought unprecedented visibility to the instrument, touring with artists such as Björk and racking up millions of views on his videos. His virtuosity shows how easily the handpan fits into full orchestrations as well as world-music traditions. The cross-shaped layout of the tone fields makes smooth, flowing runs—ascending or descending—natural, thanks to the alternating motion of both hands; each note carries a fundamental, its octave, and its fifth, and you may sometimes hear a “thirteenth,” or even a tritave, depending on where and how you strike. Some performances favour vertical playing, highlighting just how stage-friendly the instrument can be. The low tones of the gu can be shaped—softened or emphasised—by leg placement, expanding the expressive palette even further. This artistic momentum has cemented the instrument’s place in festivals and studios worldwide. Take inspiration from these trailblazers and join the handpan scene with an authentic instrument.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eExplore the fusion of handpan with saxophone and clarinet\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe handpan lends itself beautifully to original collaborations with traditional instruments such as the saxophone, clarinet, or double bass. Modern composers explore these pairings to create fresh sound textures, blending metallic overtones with warm, woody harmonies. Thanks to its pentatonic-inspired layouts, the handpan complements and enriches the melodic lines of a saxophone or clarinet, creating a hypnotic musical dialogue. Some orchestral works even place the handpan alongside brass and strings to add a contemporary colour to classical compositions. Jazz musicians and modern ensembles use it to weave captivating grooves. By experimenting with these combinations, you’ll discover new creative paths and endless possibilities for improvisation. \u003cstrong\u003ePair the handpan with the saxophone or clarinet\u003c\/strong\u003e to enrich your arrangements and surprise your listeners.

Whereas the original Hang offered only a handful of tunings, today’s workshops cover a wide range: major or minor modes, pentatonic scales, and scales inspired by Mediterranean or Central Asian traditions. You can also choose your tuning reference (A=440 Hz is the most common, while A=432 Hz is sometimes preferred for a softer feel). In terms of materials, nitrided steel often delivers a drier attack with a more controlled sustain, while stainless steel brings out a long, bright resonance and better resistance to rust. This variety lets you match the instrument to your practice—relaxation, yoga, meditation, or more percussive playing—without sacrificing tuning accuracy. By making these choices, you’re not just \u003cstrong\u003ebuying a handpan\u003c\/strong\u003e; you’re shaping a sound companion that reflects how you listen and play.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eExplore the permanent Sauvian festival site all year round\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn Sauvian, the Handpan Festival is now anchored in a permanent location thanks to the work of its founder, Cédric.

In his story, he notes that this modern instrument was invented in Bern in 2000 by Felix Rohner and Sabina Schärer, while also drawing inspiration from instruments such as the alpine bell and the musical saw. Bertrand emphasises how simple it is to play: each note—made up of a fundamental tone, an octave, and a fifth—can feel deeply calming. He explains that you don’t have to be a virtuoso to experience the benefits of the handpan. He also points out that different versions exist, with 9, 10, 11, or 13 notes, to match your style. Take it as an invitation to try it for yourself: choose a handcrafted model and let its soothing vibrations carry you away.

Each model is tuned by hand, note by note, using a hammer, giving the instrument its own unique voice and resonance. This artisanal process takes several days and demands precise expertise inherited from the 2000 manufacture of the Hang in Bern by Felix Rohner and Sabina Schärer. Thanks to this careful architecture, vibrations spread harmoniously around the central “ding” and the peripheral dimples. The fineness of the steel and the precision of the hammering determine the richness of the harmonics. The resulting instrument becomes a one-of-a-kind piece of sound art. The \u003cstrong\u003ehandcrafted\u003c\/strong\u003e process explains why each handpan is different and why musicians value the authenticity of every piece. \u003cstrong\u003eDiscover the artisanal craftsmanship of the hammered steel handpan\u003c\/strong\u003e and appreciate the beauty of the manual work behind each note.

The original Hang from PANArt, with its nitrided steel shell, weighs about 4–5 kg, has a diameter of about 52 cm, and cost around NZ$3,100 in 2011, although some online retailers now quote a price of over US$5,000 for the rare examples still available directly to experienced musicians. Contemporary handpans, produced by numerous European workshops, vary between about 3–6 kg and have a diameter of about 50–55 cm. Inspired by the Hang, Russian engineer Andrey Remyannikov launched the RAV Vast in 2013, an instrument weighing about 6.3 kg with a diameter of about 51 cm, tuned to 432 Hz or 440 Hz, and especially popular for sound meditation. Its sibling, the more compact RAV Moon, weighs about 3.6 kg and measures about 39 cm. The price of a RAV remains reasonable compared to the Hang, ranging from NZ$2,900 to NZ$5,900 depending on the model chosen.

Depending on the model, it can be domed (apex) or hollowed (inpex). This feature, introduced by PANArt when the Hang was created in 2000, has a major impact on the timbre: an apex delivers a powerful tone with long sustain, while an inpex creates a softer, more intimate attack. Around this main note sit 7 or 8 tone fields, each carefully tuned to create a natural harmony. Understanding these nuances helps you choose the right instrument and explore a wider range of dynamics. Whether you want a bright sound for the stage or a round vibration for meditation, the “ding” shapes the personality of your handpan. \u003cstrong\u003eChoose a handpan with a domed or hollow ding to match your style\u003c\/strong\u003e, and let the subtle character of its central note guide you.

Since 2001, applicants had to send a handwritten letter explaining their motivations and wait several months for a personal invitation. In 2011, the price of a Free Integral Hang was set at about NZ$3,100, and the instrument was not tuned to the standard A=440 Hz, reflecting the philosophy of its creators. According to some sources in 2023, PANArt continues to manufacture a few instruments reserved for experienced musicians, sold directly from the workshop for prices sometimes exceeding US$5,000. Each piece is numbered and signed, and resale for profit is prohibited. The rigorous process and rarity have encouraged many artisans to produce similar handpans to meet demand. So, by choosing a handpan made by a luthier, you benefit from greater availability while respecting the tradition and provenance of this instrument. Seize this opportunity and treat yourself to a \u003cstrong\u003ehandpan made by an artisan\u003c\/strong\u003e, the result of a fair trade approach.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eExplore the diversity of workshops at the 6th edition of the Handpan Festival\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery summer, the Handpan Festival transforms the Farlet estate into a cultural village where world music meets holistic practices. During the day, the craft market offers instruments, clothing, and jewellery, while street theatre, graffiti, storytelling, and juggling performances enliven the walkways. Group workshops on meditation, sophrology, sound journeys, dance, makeup, and permaculture invite festival-goers to deepen their creative awakening. The Universe of the 7 Chakras welcomes around twenty practitioners offering Thai massages, lithotherapy, reflexology, and an introduction to medicinal plants. Come evening, handpans blend with electronic harmonies or create moments of meditation under the stars. Environmentally conscious, the festival favours locally sourced food trucks, reusable eco-cups, local organic beer, composting toilets, and waste sorting. Street arts, meditation, and holistic workshops combine to create a unique sensory experience.

In specialist shops, you’ll find 9-note models such as the “Copper” or “Dark Black,” 10-note versions such as the “Steel Blue” or “Milky Way,” and more complete instruments with 11 notes such as the “Deep Space” and 13 notes such as the “Polar Star,” all tuned to D minor. Each of these instruments offers different nuances and creative possibilities for meditation, yoga, or art therapy. The choice of number of notes depends on your intention: the higher the number, the richer the musical palette. The models come with accessories included to make it easier for you to play.

That means it includes all 12 notes within an octave. So you'll find the 7 standard notes (C, D, E, F, G, A, and B), plus 5 accidentals (sharps or flats).

Combined with the handpan, these instruments enrich your practice by adding new sound textures. For example, Tibetan cymbals produce high-pitched chimes that blend with the low notes of the handpan, while the crystal harp creates ethereal resonances that extend the vibration. Therapists often use this mix to create complete sound therapy sessions, where each instrument helps open a chakra or rebalance energy. By exploring these combinations, you can personalise your meditation or yoga ritual and find the soundscape that suits you. It's also an opportunity to teach your loved ones the importance of sound diversity in art therapy.

Its construction is based on two deeply embossed and nitrided steel shells, glued together with a special resin to form a resonant cavity. On the upper part, a central bump called the “ding” accommodates seven to nine sound fields tuned to a fundamental, an octave, and a compound fifth. Each note is adjusted with a hammer, and the whole instrument is calibrated by a serial number engraved on the inside, certifying its authenticity. A brass ring can be added to reinforce its strength. Unlike membranophones such as djembes or tablas, no stretched material vibrates—the entire metal emits the sound. This connection with musical vases highlights the evolution of the handpan, descended from Indian ghatams and Caribbean steelpans.
