Every handpan player has individual tastes and different demands on their instrument. Some are looking for a handpan drum that can be played quickly and percussively, others for a meditative musical instrument with a long-lasting resonance.

If you are looking for a steel drum or tongue drum, we can only help you to a limited extent.
We currently only offer original handpans and related accessories for sale. In the long term, however, we are planning to expand our range to include other steel sound instruments such as steel drums, tongue drums, gongs and singing bowls.

Recently, more and more handpans in the price range of 150€ to 900€ have been offered on platforms such as Amazon, Temu or Etsy. These machine-pressed steel shells may look like real handpans, but their sound is far from it. They are often extremely badly tuned, sound tinny and lose their tuning very quickly. In most cases, these instruments no longer have an appealing sound after a short time and are more reminiscent of a dull tin bowl.

Another problem is that such handpan drum instruments cannot really be retuned, which means that they become completely unusable after a short time. We therefore strongly advise against buying such a handpan.
