For nearly 13 years, PANArt’s artisans refined the Hang’s materials and acoustics to produce exceptional instruments. But in 2013, PANArt stopped manufacturing the Hang to focus on other sound creations such as the Gubal and the HangBal, both closely inspired by the Hang concept. Meanwhile, \u003cstrong\u003epercussionists\u003c\/strong\u003e around the world were increasingly eager to own a Hang of their own. Other makers began building instruments identical in shape and feel, and the name “handpan” quickly became the go-to term.

This creation grew out of a 1999 meeting with Reto Weber, a percussionist passionate about the ghatam, a South Indian clay pot drum. The duo used a \u003cstrong\u003enitrided steel alloy called Pang\u003c\/strong\u003e, enriched with nitrogen to modify its mechanical properties and produce rich harmonics. Presented at the Musikmesse in Frankfurt in 2001, the first-generation Hang had eight notes arranged in a circle around the central “ding” and was available in 45 sound models (Ake Bono, Hijaz, Pygmée, Melog, Zhi Diao). Around 5,000 units were manufactured and sold through a select few distributors. Buying one often meant sending a handwritten letter and waiting for months. After production ended in 2013, PANArt focused on the Gubal and HangBal, while other makers such as Kyle Cox (Pantheon Steel) and Victor Levinson (SPB) launched their own handpans. Purchase your handpan today and experience this authentic sound adventure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eImmerse yourself in the intimate sounds of the handpan now\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003ehandpan\u003c\/strong\u003e is known for producing intimate, subtle, captivating, and highly poetic sounds—perfect for creating unique musical atmospheres. A true 21st-century instrument, it consists of two steel shells fixed together and hand-tuned by artisans, resulting in a one-of-a-kind sonic character. The central note, called the “ding,” is surrounded by seven or eight dimples, each generating a distinct, harmonious tone. This design allows aspiring musicians, even complete beginners, to follow their intuition and spontaneously improvise beautiful melodies. The handpan fits perfectly into sophrology, meditation, or music therapy practices, where its soothing vibrations support relaxation and focus. It’s also used in concerts and collaborative sound projects, offering virtually limitless artistic freedom. PANArt instruments are sought after for their rich, deep tone, while independent makers offer a wide variety of finishes and original scales. Each model is unique, reflecting rare know-how and a hands-on process that can take several days. The sounds you’ll discover feel endless, with a soundscape that’s always renewing itself. Make your purchase today and feel the resonance of this fascinating instrument.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eImmerse yourself in the magical sound of the handpan and relax immediately\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe handpan, an idiophone created in Switzerland in 2000 by Felix Rohner and Sabina Schärer, draws inspiration from the gong, the Indian ghatam, and the alpine bell to offer enveloping vibrations ideal for meditation and relaxation. Its convex shape projects sound waves in all directions, creating an immersive experience, whether played live in a specialized center or enjoyed through recordings at home. Each note, tuned to 1:2:3—fundamental tone, harmonic octave, and composite fifth—forms the basis of \u003cstrong\u003ebuilding mental resilience through handpan vibrations\u003c\/strong\u003e, acting directly on the brain and encouraging a flow state as well as muscle relaxation. Music therapy practitioners particularly appreciate the phenomenon of “entrainment,” where the body naturally syncs with the vibrations of the handpan, helping release tension and stress. Contrary to myths perpetuated by some merchants, this instrument was never played by Shaolin monks centuries ago, and its initial production under the name Hang was discontinued in 2014 to limit its distribution. Today, artisans such as those collaborating with Instruments du Monde hammer each note by hand, guaranteeing a unique instrument that is both robust and delicate.

A historic photo of the Oval Boys in 1944 captures the 16-year-old Mannette working in an open-air workshop. Mark Garner interviewed him in 2012 to detail his tuning methods, inspiring the artisans at PANArt to develop the Hang in 2000, the ancestor of the handpan. Unlike the first-generation Hang, limited to eight notes around the ding, the modern handpan has expanded, with more than 300 makers and new surface treatments. Panyards, often located near Port of Spain, were hubs of collective creativity where musicians and craftspeople experimented with tuning by ear—a spirit carried on at HangOut UK since 2008.

Passionate for over 15 years, Klaïm even composed the music for the film La Vie d’Adèle, winner of the 2013 Palme d’Or, and dreamed of bringing together amateurs and professionals around this instrument. These early editions, held in unique venues such as urban parks and rural farms, brought together dozens of musicians for workshops, improvised jams, and open-air concerts. \u003cstrong\u003ePanacea made history in France\u003c\/strong\u003e by providing a setting conducive to exchange and improvisation. Building on this success, numerous festivals such as HANGAOUT and the Handpan Festival de Sauvian have sprung up.

Made from two welded nitrided steel half-shells, it owes its name to the word “Hang,” which means “hand” in the Bernese dialect, emphasizing the importance of playing by hand. To preserve its exclusivity, its creators asked buyers to write a letter explaining their motivation and stopped production in 2014, making a brand-new Hang virtually impossible to find. This unique instrument, combining the influences of the Asian gong, the Indian ghatam, and the alpine bell, generates three frequencies per note (fundamental, octave, and fifth) to induce a state of deep relaxation. Used in music therapy and art therapy, it promotes muscle relaxation and inner peace. Modern artisans, such as those selected by Instruments du Monde in France, still hammer each note by hand, guaranteeing artisanal quality and authentic sound. Treat yourself to this exceptional sound experience and order your legendary instrument.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eImmerse yourself in the fight to protect the handpan\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn September 2020, Handpan Community United (HCU) was created to protect the craft in response to PANArt’s legal actions. This organization brings together more than 1,000 members—manufacturers, musicians, and enthusiasts—and works with the law firm Bird \u0026amp; Bird to defend artisans in the Netherlands and Europe. Following Ayasa’s conviction in the first instance in early 2020, HCU launched a crowdfunding campaign in mid-October 2020 to cover the legal costs of the infringement proceedings. It is also working with experts to develop a usage charter that will allow musicians to continue presenting their handpans in concerts, workshops, and online videos without legal risk. This movement advocates for the preservation of the term “handpan,” discovered on Handpan.org by Kyle Cox in 2007, and encourages the sharing of the tuning secrets of Pang, the nitrided steel alloy pioneered by PANArt. Every donation helps to ensure free access to these instruments and to support new artisans. Take action and order your handpan today to support this collective cause.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDiscover the ancestor of the handpan, the Hang by PANArt\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe handpan originated in 2000 with the creation of the Hang by PANArt, a Swiss duo composed of Felix Rohner and Sabina Schärer in Bern. The term “handpan,” a direct descendant of this pioneering instrument, officially appeared in 2009. As its name suggests, it is played with bare hands and produces no wrong notes thanks to its hammered steel structure arranged around the central “ding” and 7 to 8 peripheral dimples. The handpan has become the go-to instrument for yoga, meditation, and music therapy enthusiasts thanks to its \u003cstrong\u003esoothing vibrations and intuitive design\u003c\/strong\u003e. You can explore its craftsmanship in specialized workshops, discover its “ding side” and “gu side,” or rent a model to test different pentatonic scales.

In 2007, Kyle Cox of Pantheon Steel introduced the term handpan on Handpan.org to respect the registered trademark. At the same time, an Israeli distributor popularized “Pantam” before Victor Levinson, creator of the SPB, adopted it in 2014 for his instruments. Some even refer to it as the “UFO drum” because of its futuristic silhouette. On Hangblog.org, the community debated the use of Hang drum and handpan, while Bellart (Philippe Maignaut) and Echo Sound Sculpture (Ezhan) highlighted the diversity of terminology.

Today, meditation centers and yoga practitioners use these instruments alongside Tibetan singing bowls to amplify their therapeutic effect.

Its enveloping tone helps choreographers sync movement with organic rhythm.

Depending on the location—an alpine garden, a yoga studio in Paris, or a meditation center in Berlin—these handpan ensembles create a rich soundscape, using fundamental frequencies, octaves, and fifths to induce deep relaxation.

By modulating these three frequencies, each note produces a natural and captivating resonance. This approach, inherited from the first steelpans developed by Ellie Mannette and perfected by Winston Spree Simon in the 1960s, was adopted by PANArt for the Hang in 2000. Victor Levinson, with his SPB handpan, introduced the systematic tuning of “shoulder tones” (second octave on the edges of the notes) in 2013, followed by Ezhan of Echo Sound Sculpture. The result is an instrument offering a rich and deep harmonic palette, ideal for meditation, composition, and sound therapy.

Each note, tuned to a 1:2:3 frequency ratio, creates a unique timbre that invites relaxation. You can experience it live in a wellness center or enjoy it at home through CDs and videos.

By injecting nitrogen into the steel’s surface layer, this nitriding process increases hardness, improves corrosion resistance, and stabilizes the tuning of the notes. Each convex shell is then stamped and carefully tuned by hammering, ensuring a rich, even resonance. Thanks to this innovation, musicians benefit from remarkable tuning stability and exceptional harmonic depth. Contemporary makers now use other self-stabilizing alloys, but Pang’s influence remains unmistakable in the handpan’s signature sound. Treat yourself to this exceptional instrument and experience the magic of Swiss technology.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBring your handpan to the Handpan Festival Croatia “Svargo’s Wheel”\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Handpan Festival Croatia, known as “Svargo’s Wheel,” is held at Antoničin mlin in Žrnovnica.

Workshops on djembe, body integration, and mandala drawing, as well as shiatsu massage, offer a true awakening of the senses. Readings on Slavic mythology and magical concerts bring each evening to life. The line-up includes Kabeção, Daniel Waples, and Quentin Moreau, among other emerging talents such as Mayiia, Arachai, and Vittorio Veccia. Admission is free for children under 14, and 4-day tickets include entry into a lottery to win a VIBE Handpan.

The \"ding\" design evolved into a cleaner, more refined shape, and the remaining eight tone fields were optimized for longer resonance. Only a few Free Integral Hang models were released, reinforcing its aura as a collector's piece. After this period, PANArt chose to stop producing the Hang altogether to focus on the Gubal, Gudu, and HangBal. Embrace this memorable chapter of history by investing in a handpan inspired by the Free Integral Hang.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eEmbrace the ideal frequencies of the handpan for deep and instant meditation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen creating the Hang in 2000, Felix Rohner and Sabrina Schärer drew on frequency science to tune each tone field using precise ratios. Each note includes a fundamental, an octave at half its frequency, and a fifth at one-third, creating a spectrum that supports well-being and can invite deep relaxation. Although we don't know exactly how these frequencies work, many users report benefits such as reduced stress and an improved mood. The handpan’s natural vibrato, created by its double convex welded steel shell, helps project an even, 360° sound field. Easy to play with no musical background, this instrument is used by music therapists in yoga sessions, sound massage, and art therapy. Whether you’re listening to a CD, watching a video, or enjoying a live concert, the handpan can turn your space into a sanctuary of serenity. \u003cstrong\u003eOrder your handpan now!\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Instruments du Monde","offers":[{"title":"9 Notes \/ 440 Hertz","offer_id":51458915926355,"sku":"Handpan-Fusion-9-notes-440-hz","price":799.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"9 Notes \/ 432 Hertz","offer_id":51458915959123,"sku":"Handpan-Fusion-9-notes-432-hz","price":799.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"10 Notes \/ 440 Hertz","offer_id":51458915991891,"sku":"Handpan-Fusion-10-notes-440-hz","price":899.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"10 Notes \/ 432 Hertz","offer_id":51458916024659,"sku":"Handpan-Fusion-10-notes-432-hz","price":899.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"12 Notes \/ 440 Hertz","offer_id":51458916057427,"sku":"Handpan-Fusion-12-notes-440-hz","price":1099.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"12 Notes \/ 432 Hertz","offer_id":51458916090195,"sku":"Handpan-Fusion-12-notes-432-hz","price":1099.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0554\/9454\/1508\/files\/Handpan-fusion.jpg?v=1791319972"},{"product_id":"handpan-expert","title":"Handpan Expert","description":"\u003ch2\u003eSee how easy it is to compose on this professional instrument\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/HTdqTRoPv-c\" title=\"Handpan Expert\" width=\"560\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGive yourself the best chance of success in your learning by choosing this handpan for experts!\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBecome a true handpan expert with this high-quality model\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith exemplary acoustics worthy of a professional instrument, this \u003cstrong\u003eexpert-level handpan\u003c\/strong\u003e showcases serious craftsmanship.

Made of nitrided steel and formed by hammering, the Hang® quickly won over audiences with its warm tone and rich harmonics. Today, the generic term \"handpan\" encompasses many makers offering a wide range of scales. Although Hang® is a registered trademark of PANArt, many artisans, from the United States to the Canary Islands, now create their own handpans, enriching this musical universe. Handcrafted by passionate makers, these instruments carry forward a unique tradition of craftsmanship. Their distinctive, captivating sound is ideal for improvising outdoors or during musical gatherings. Easy to carry in a backpack, a handpan lets you play wherever you want: in a park, on a beach, or on top of a mountain.

These informal gatherings often take place in inspiring locations: parks, beaches, yoga studios, or urban gardens. Each participant brings their own instrument, promoting diversity in timbres and scales, and sometimes sharing graphic scores or rhythmic exercises. The collective experience allows participants to learn from others, try out new rhythmic combinations, and practice active listening. Volunteer organizers post the dates on Facebook, Meetup, or Discord groups, sometimes asking for a small contribution to cover logistics. These sessions often include a friendly potluck, reinforcing the spirit of community and sharing. \u003cstrong\u003eCollective handpan jam sessions\u003c\/strong\u003e stimulate creativity, encourage self-confidence, and offer a fun and friendly way to practice.

Visitors were particularly surprised by the sounds a simple metal object could produce when struck. Those tones were largely made possible by a special material called Pang, a type of nitrogen-nitrided steel developed by PANArt specifically for its instruments. The first generation of \u003cstrong\u003eHang Drum\u003c\/strong\u003e featured 45 unique sound models—an exceptionally wide range—with names such as Ake Bono, Hijaz, Pygmy, Melog, and Zhi Diao. To acquire one of these 5,000 limited-edition instruments produced between 2001 and 2005, musicians had to send a handwritten letter explaining their motivations and wait months, even years, to receive an invitation to the workshop in Bern and finally purchase their own Hang. All that is now a thing of the past, as you can order your handpan right now.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHarness the celestial frequencies of the handpan for intense meditation today\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn September 9, an article highlighted how the handpan, \u003cstrong\u003ean idiophone instrument\u003c\/strong\u003e born in Switzerland in 2000, is reinventing relaxation. Created by Félix Rohner and Sabina Schärer in the PANArt workshops in Bern, the original Hang—nearly impossible to buy since 2014 without a written letter of intent—inspired the modern handpan. Made from two welded nitrided-steel half-shells, it radiates sound 360° thanks to its tri-tone tuning (fundamental tone, octave, and fifth), encouraging deep relaxation and a greater sense of well-being. Music therapists and practitioners of receptive meditation and art therapy incorporate it into sound-massage sessions, yoga flow, and even meditative coloring workshops to calm the mind. Unlike the unpleasant infrasound emitted by a poorly adjusted fan, the handpan’s vibrations are tuned to feel comfortable and soothing. You can also listen to it on CD or online video to recreate the atmosphere of a meditation center at home. Enjoy this concentrated source of serenity—order your handpan today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eExplore the meditative dimension of the handpan today\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eToday, the handpan is widely used by sophrologists, relaxation practitioners, and therapists for its remarkable abilities in \u003cstrong\u003esophrology, meditation, and music therapy\u003c\/strong\u003e. Thanks to its harmonic frequencies and fluid notes, it creates a state of deep calm and promotes concentration. Many specialized facilities, such as wellness centers and traveling spas, now incorporate the handpan into their sessions. Just a few strikes on the central note, called the \"ding,\" and its 7 or 8 associated tones are enough to feel an almost instantaneous calming effect. No musical training is required, making it accessible to everyone, including novices and patients suffering from post-traumatic stress. Group music therapy workshops use the handpan to encourage non-verbal expression and strengthen group cohesion. Recordings of sessions are also available as playlists to prolong the experience at home. If you want to diversify your wellness practices or support your patients with a unique sound tool, invest in a handpan.

This event, which took place in an orchard near Paris, brought together enthusiasts for improvised jams and world instruments. Carried in a simple case, the handpan brought together amateur and professional musicians, many inspired by the music of the film La Vie d’Adèle (Palme d’or 2013) composed by Klaïm himself.

Each tone field is tuned according to a three-part ratio (fundamental, octave, fifth), delivering a sound spectrum rich in harmonics that calms the mind more effectively than lullabies or birdsong. Music therapists recommend it for building \"audio healing\" playlists alongside melotherapy and sound-massage sessions in wellness centers.

It was in these improvised \"Pan Yards\" in Port of Spain that a young Ellie Mannette, the future \"father of the modern steelpan,\" crafted notes tuned by ear. His desire to play \"Mary Had a Little Lamb\" pushed him to experiment with different fundamental and harmonic frequencies. In the 1960s, Winston Spree Simon introduced the compound fifth, enriching the sound palette. These techniques inspired Félix Rohner and Sabina Schärer, who, after making steelpans in Switzerland since 1976, collaborated with Reto Weber in 1999 to \u003cstrong\u003ecreate the Hang\u003c\/strong\u003e. This precursor to the handpan adopted the principle of a 1:2:3 ratio between the fundamental, octave, and fifth.

Organized in collaboration with the Toulouse Conservatory and the José Cabanis Media Library, the event features solo performances, saxophone or guitar duets, and a free-composition round. Candidates are judged on creativity, rhythmic control, and the sound quality of their instrument. Handpans from makers such as PANArt, Morg, and Tolpan are often compared for differences in sustain and timbre. The competition is typically held in May and includes workshops led by respected teachers like David Charrier, as well as guest artists. Winners receive handcrafted instruments, vouchers for online lessons, and invitations to the Jazz à Vienne festival. \u003cstrong\u003ePut your handpan to the test in a regional competition \u003c\/strong\u003ein Toulouse to track your progress and win unique rewards.

Inspired by instruments such as the musical saw and alpine cowbells, it consists of two welded nitrided steel half-shells, forming a resonant cavity conducive to sound meditation. Originally, obtaining a Hang required a letter of motivation, and production ceased in 2014, making each new model impossible to find. Today’s handpans, crafted by artisans such as those collaborating with Instruments du Monde, offer personalized service, hand-hammered notes, and a price that is generally lower than that of other online stores. Its vibrations with a 1:2:3 ratio (fundamental, octave, fifth) can create a sense of calm reminiscent of Hindu or Maasai rituals. Practitioners, music lovers, and complete beginners alike appreciate this concentrated dose of serenity, accessible without prior musical knowledge. Enhance your well-being—order your handpan today and start relaxing immediately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDiscover the art of the unique 1:2:3 harmonic ratio\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe extraordinary richness of the handpan’s sound is based on the 1:2:3 ratio between the fundamental frequency, its octave, and its compound fifth. This technique, already experimented with on steelpans in the 1960s by Winston Spree Simon, inspired PANArt to create the Hang in 2000. Later, in 2013, Victor Levinson was the first to systematically tune the \"shoulder tones\" on his SPB, thus offering a precise second octave around the edge of the notes. Ezhan from Echo Sound Sculpture quickly joined him, while Mark Garner spread these methods through interviews on YouTube. Ellie Mannette had already led the way by tuning only the fundamental to play Mary Had a Little Lamb, before introducing harmonics. Today, handpan craftsmen use this \u003cstrong\u003econcept of 1:2:3 harmonics between the fundamental, octave, and fifth\u003c\/strong\u003e to create instruments with deep, balanced vibrations. Order a handpan and explore the infinite nuances of this harmonic art in your compositions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSurprise your neighbors with discreet jam sessions thanks to your portable handpan\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the Swiss Handpan Festival in Wetzikon, near Zurich, outdoor sessions are limited to 11 p.m. out of respect for local residents, but your lightweight handpan lets you discreetly extend the experience after the official closing time.
