"A huge thank you to Instruments du Monde: an amazing bundle (instrument, accessories, book, and video). The sound of my handpan is incredible."
Daphne C.
Hear both sides of this double-sided handpan
Double your creative possibilities and fall for this 17-note handpan!
Treat yourself to this 2-in-1 handpan model
Traditionally, classic handpans only have 8 to 10 notes across the top shell of the instrument. However, some makers had the idea of adding notes on the bottom shell as well, making the handpan far more versatile. That’s exactly how this double-sided handpan 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. In other words, think of it less as one instrument and more as two handpans in one. With 17 notes in total, it will captivate you with its mesmerizing sound. Treat yourself to this handpan today and enjoy everything a truly inspiring sound instrument can bring to your creativity and personal well-being.

Discover the exclusive distribution of the Hang
Starting in 2001, PANArt implemented an ultra-selective distribution policy for the Hang: only a few hand-picked dealers offered the instruments, and each buyer had to send a handwritten letter explaining their motivation. 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 “handpan” for generic instruments as early as 2007. Be part of this tradition and order your handpan to relive that truly special experience.
Immerse yourself in the friendly, eco-friendly atmosphere of the Handpan Festival in Mèze
The Handpan Festival in Mèze, held at the Domaine de Farlet, embodies eco-responsibility. Alongside the concerts, a craft market offers instruments, clothing, and jewelry, while short-supply-chain food trucks, recyclable tableware, and reusable festival cups help reduce environmental impact. Workshops on meditation, sophrology, sound journeys, dance, and permaculture create moments of relaxation and sharing with international and local artists. A reusable-cup booth, composting toilets, and waste sorting reflect the festival’s ethical approach. Bring your handpan and feel the eco-responsible vibe today.
Choose a handcrafted handpan directly inspired by the Hang
Stemming from the heritage of PANArt’s Hang, the handcrafted handpan follows the same principles of design and tuning. Made of nitrided steel in Bern, it reveals a full spectrum of frequencies, combining the fundamental, the octave, and the fifth harmonic. 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 personalized tuning and meticulous finishing. Whether you’re using it for yoga, meditation, or sound massage, the instrument bathes listeners in an enveloping vibrational wash that helps reduce stress and enhance focus. Experience the perfect marriage of Swiss tradition and sound innovation—order your handcrafted handpan today.
