We create your handpan in our beautiful studio
All our handpans are crafted by hand in our studio by our small though experienced team on Bali. This contrasts with much lower quality handpans, which have found their way to the Dutch market in large numbers from China, for example. Making and tuning a handpan is a complex process. It is important to us at all times to take our time for our unique creations. That is why we usually have a limited number of handpans in stock. It might be possible that your dream instrument is not immediately available. In that case you can pre-order your desired handpan through the website. The production and waiting period varies between 6-16 weeks, this is usually stated on the handpan. We can assure you it is worth the wait for such a unique instrument!
How to learn to play handpan?
It's not a problem if you have no experience playing a Tongue Drum or Handpan yet. It is quite easy to learn to play these instruments for a number of reasons. First of all, they are instruments that should be played by feeling. So you play the tones that you think sound beautiful. This way it is impossible to play wrong notes! In addition, the clean, harmonious tonal compositions ensure that you cannot play wrong sound combinations. In the beginning you will have to get used to the playing technique, but usually you quickly get wonderful sounds from the instrument! Take your time, and you will explore the instrument while playing.

Ik ben bij lidah langsgeweest om de handpannen te beluisteren. Fijn om ze van dichtbij te zien en voelen. Alle tijd om de verschillende handpannen te beluisteren, uiteindelijk voor de kurd gekozen. Ben er enorm blij mee. Dank jongens!

Voor deze (redelijk) scherpe prijs was ik een beetje sceptisch gezien er volgens mij zo veel mindere kwaliteit makers tussen zitten. Maar wat is dit een ongeloofelijk waanzinnig instrument. Ik ben in de wolken.

Received my handpan a couple of months ago, and love it! It is my first Handpan, and since buying it, I play every day, sometimes for hours. So much fun and so magical! As a yoga instructor I play it during class aswel, this instrument always touches people.

Super!
