The name references the instrument’s iconic shape, with its central dome. Once it left the workshop, the Hang was quickly embraced by players for the quality of its acoustic resonance. After producing several generations of instruments that improved over time, PANArt temporarily halted production in 2013, opening the door for many other makers and artisans to offer musicians their own versions, commonly known as handpans. Today, the handpan is popular on the international scene. Purchase your handpan and experience this incomparable musical fusion.\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\nDiscover how easy it is to play the handpan\u003cbr\/\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRevolutionary in its sound, the handpan is also known for how intuitive it is to play.
