History of Handpan Drum

Handpan drum is a musical instrument that was first produced in Switzerland in 2000. Described as a "hypnotic instrument", the Handpan drum was produced as a percussion instrument by two Swiss citizens, Sabina Schärer and Felix Rohner, as a result of their long research and investigations in different parts of the world.

How to Play?

The Handpan drum, resembling a turtle shell made entirely of steel, is placed on the lap and played using hands and fingers. The instrument, which belongs to the group of idiophones, has a sound reminiscent of harp, gong or harmonic tones. Different sounds and notes are obtained through vibration by hitting small pits on its surface.

Starting with PAN-4

Begin with a gentle touch and a slow, steady pattern. Leave space between strikes to hear how each note sustains. Coordination and control develop with practice; a fixed set of notes does not mean that every technique is effortless. Use the sound demonstration to decide whether this D minor instrument suits the music you want to make.
