And it’s true: those repeated, rhythmic strikes definitely feel drum-like. However, unlike a drum, the handpan has no skin or membrane. It’s made entirely of metal that vibrates and resonates when the player taps, glides, and brushes their hands across it. This 10-note model is crafted from high-quality stainless steel and finished with a beautiful blue hue that shifts toward purple. The whole piece—both sonic and visual art—can even evoke a starry night sky. It also comes with a pair of sticks, so you can play it more like a drum, a drum kit, or a snare drum. Fall in love with this beautiful handpan and make it part of your musical everyday life.\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eAccessories included:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA 290-page book with 25 pieces of sheet music and a 16-video course taught by a handpan instructor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA padded carrying case\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA protective natural jute braid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA tripod stand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA pair of drumsticks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\nA cleaning cloth\u003cbr\/\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\nTechnical specifications of the handpan-style drum\u003cbr\/\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInstrument family: percussion – idiophone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\nNumber of notes: 10\u003cbr\/\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKey: D Kurd\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrequency: 440 or 432 hertz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiameter: 22 in (55 cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeight: 10 in (25 cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\nMaterial: high-hardness stainless steel, 0.04 in (1.07 mm) thick\u003cbr\/\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 8 lb 13 oz (4 kg)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor a similar instrument with a different design, the \u003ca href=\"__linkproduct1\" title=\"__linkproduct1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003epercussion handpan\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e is an ideal choice.

During the process, a conversation sparked between Weber and the Rohner\/Schärer duo. The percussionist shared an idea for a brand-new instrument: an Indian ghatam, but made entirely of steel instead of the terracotta traditionally used for over 1,200 years. The idea was compelling, and PANArt spent almost a year crafting the first \u003cstrong\u003eHang\u003c\/strong\u003e—which would later evolve into the handpan.
