This tuning practice dates back to the 1960s, when steelpan tuners such as Winston Spree Simon and Ellie Mannette, the “father of the modern steelpan,” began incorporating additional harmonics called “shoulder tones” on the edges of the notes. For example, on a fundamental note E3, the octave harmonic E4 is doubled by an ideal shoulder tone at E5 (the second octave), creating a uniquely rich sound. In the 1990s, PANArt briefly experimented with these principles on its Hang prototypes, but it was in 2013 that Victor Levinson, founder of SPB, was the first to systematically tune these \u003cstrong\u003eshoulder tones on the central note\u003c\/strong\u003e, closely followed by Ezhan of Echo Sound Sculpture. Mark Garner refined the technique in 2013. Thanks to these developments, today’s handpan offers exceptional harmonic richness, used in music therapy and meditation for its relaxing effects. Discover this depth of sound by ordering your handpan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDiscover the step-by-step craftsmanship of the handpan\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach handpan is crafted in a specialized workshop, where two steel shells are shaped and assembled before being \u003cstrong\u003ecarefully tuned with a hammer\u003c\/strong\u003e by experienced artisans. This process, initiated in 2009 by Felix Rohner and Sabina Schärer in Bern, requires very rare expertise and can take several days. The upper shell, called the “ding side,” and the lower shell, the “gu side,” are treated separately to optimize resonance. The notes are created by dimples aligned around the “ding,” generally offering seven or eight distinct tones. This craftsmanship gives each instrument a unique identity, both visually and sonically. PANArt models remain the benchmark, while new luthiers now offer original finishes and exotic ranges. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced player, knowing the origin of your instrument deepens your connection to its magical sound. This transparency in the manufacturing process guarantees the quality and authenticity of your handpan. The result is long sustain and incomparable harmonic richness. Order your handpan today and enjoy an instrument crafted according to the most demanding traditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDiscover how the handpan dispels unease with its vibrations\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe handpan is a modern idiophone created in Switzerland in 2000, the result of innovation by Felix Rohner and Sabina Schärer, which has revolutionized relaxation and meditation practices. Composed of two welded steel half-shells, its convex shape diffuses sound waves at 360°, creating a uniquely immersive sound bath. Unlike unwanted infrasound emitted by poorly adjusted fans—which once caused discomfort and fueled legends of “haunted” houses—the frequencies produced by the handpan are carefully calibrated to a 1:2:3 ratio to create a sense of wholeness. Music lovers appreciate its use in \u003cstrong\u003esound therapy\u003c\/strong\u003e, where the resonance of each note promotes physical and mental relaxation. Today, you can find handcrafted handpans on the Instruments du Monde website, which offers personalized service and hand-hammered notes. Whether you’re enriching yoga sessions, meditation moments, or art therapy workshops, the handpan is a valuable ally for reducing stress and boosting well-being.

Cédric, who started an earthworks business three months before the 5th edition, installed permanent infrastructure with drinking water and electricity on the site to accommodate more than 7,500 festivalgoers. Before the festival, a Handpan Family event is held over two days in a more intimate atmosphere. Lithotherapy practitioners, sound journey workshops, and handmade jewelry stands make up the world of the 7 chakras. During the first edition, on September 19, 20, and 21, 2014, 800 people discovered this musical setting, while artists such as Alchimix, Balaphang, and Archer \u0026amp; Tripp performed on stage. Didgeridoo and jaw harp workshops, led by Jeremy Nattagh, complete the program to offer a diversity of sound. Bring your handpan and experience this family-friendly musical adventure.
