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. Interestingly, the handpan’s evolution also benefited from PANArt’s acoustic breakthroughs developed for the Gubal.
