The instrument caught the interest of percussionists, but without drawing the kind of attention it receives today. It wasn’t until 2005, with the rise of YouTube, that musicians began sharing videos of themselves performing on this percussion instrument. As these videos spread across the web, they introduced countless people to the handpan and, more importantly, sparked the desire to own one. On top of that, PANArt—the only maker at the time—had a highly restrictive distribution policy, which made the instrument even rarer and even more coveted.
