As demand grew, PANArt registered the name Hang as intellectual property but refused to increase production to meet the needs of musicians who wanted to buy this percussion instrument. As a result, hundreds of makers around the world began creating their own Hang-style instruments, making small design changes and marketing them under the name handpan. In 2013, PANArt announced it would stop producing the Hang. Then, starting in 2020, legal action was brought against several manufacturers in an effort to halt their production. Those proceedings are still ongoing today. Buy a handpan and become part of this musical and artistic adventure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe handpan, an instrument suitable for music therapy and meditation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003ehandpan\u003c\/strong\u003e offers two standout qualities for percussionists looking to explore new creative territory: it’s easy to approach, and its sound is deeply soothing.
