It all started in Switzerland in 1999, when renowned percussionist Reto Weber visited PANArt, a company specializing in the design and tuning of \u003cstrong\u003esteel drums\u003c\/strong\u003e. Reto Weber wanted to have one of his instruments retuned. One thing led to another, and he spoke with Felix Rohner and Sabina Schärer, the company’s owners, suggesting they create an entirely new kind of instrument—like the Indian ghatam, but made completely of metal. The Swiss duo found the idea inspiring and got to work, using the knowledge and technologies they already employed for steel drums. That’s how the Hang was born, which later evolved into the handpan. Discover the complete story of the handpan by purchasing this unique instrument.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDiscover the origins of the handpan, a revolutionary instrument\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter the \u003cstrong\u003eHang\u003c\/strong\u003e was invented in early 2000 by PANArt, it quickly drew interest from percussionists worldwide—so much so that the Swiss company couldn’t meet demand. They first asked prospective buyers to write motivation letters and then required them to travel to Switzerland to pick up the instrument in person at the workshop, while signing an agreement forbidding resale for profit. Faced with PANArt’s refusal to increase production, other makers began creating their own versions, tweaking the design and adopting the name “handpan” to respect PANArt’s copyright.
