Yet the idea came to \u003cstrong\u003eFelix Rohner and Sabina Schärer\u003c\/strong\u003e after meeting another professional musician, who asked if they could make a ghatam—an Indian clay percussion instrument—but in metal for greater durability. A ghatam is essentially a large clay pot that a percussionist strikes with their hands to produce sound. The handpan draws on that same concept, but swaps the pot shape for a lenticular form and replaces terracotta with nitrided steel.
