Explore the deep roots of the handpan, a revolutionary instrument

When the handpan began to gain popularity in the early 2000s, just a few years after it was invented in Switzerland by PANArt, it reshaped what many artists thought was possible and sparked a real creative revolution. While it draws inspiration from older instruments like the Asian ghatam and the Caribbean steel drum, its build process and unique lens-shaped design make it truly one of a kind. Above all, it’s the handpan’s warm, unmistakable tone, paired with remarkable rhythmic potential, that helped the handpan—or Hang—stand out. Today, you can even hear handpans in well-known TV series and films, bringing a fresh sonic dimension to creative projects. Composers and sound designers gain a broader palette to carry emotion through their work.
