Sound from steel
What is a handpan?
The handpan is a steel instrument played with the hands. Its warm, meditative sound relaxes instantly. Light and portable, you can take it anywhere โ maybe even to the lake platform.
Playing the handpan is intuitive and creative: you experiment with ideas and feelings. In a group you dive into music together and support each other โ relaxing to the sounds along the way.
