In 1999, a percussionist named Reto Weber travelled to Switzerland to visit the PANArt company to have one of his steel drums tuned, a Caribbean instrument the Swiss company specialised in. During his stay, he spoke with Felix Rohner and Sabina Schärer, two artisans at PANArt, about his desire to develop a kind of Indian ghatam made entirely of metal. That conversation sparked the idea for a brand-new sound instrument: the \u003cstrong\u003eHang\u003c\/strong\u003e. Given its success, PANArt was unable to keep up with demand from musicians around the world. As a result, other makers began creating Hang-inspired instruments with slight design changes, which came to be known as handpans. Since then, the instrument has continued to evolve, including the rise of “mutant” models and versions with bottom notes. Get your handpan now and step into this fascinating world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe handpan: an ideal instrument for music therapy and meditation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFirst and foremost, the \u003cstrong\u003ehandpan\u003c\/strong\u003e was designed as a true musical instrument—one you can use to create harmonious melodies and rhythms.
