A handpan is a type of percussion instrument that originated in the early 2000s. It's made from two pieces of steel that are shaped into a convex, dome-like structure with a series of indentations or "tone fields" on the surface. Each tone field produces a different musical note when struck with the hands, which allows for melodic and rhythmic playing.

The handpan is known for its ethereal, soothing sound, often described as calming and meditative. It's played with the hands and fingers, making it expressive and tactile. The instrument is typically tuned to a particular scale, meaning players can create harmonious melodies without much musical theory knowledge. It's popular among musicians, sound healers, and meditation practitioners due to its relaxing tones.

Though it resembles the earlier Hang Drum, the term "handpan" refers to a broader category of instruments that have since evolved.

A handpan is played by striking the surface with the hands, using a combination of finger tips and the palms of the hands. The player can produce a variety of sounds and tones by changing the angle and position of the strike.(How to play Handpan?

Choosing between 440Hz and 432Hz depends on your personal preference and the intended use of your handpan. While 440Hz is the standard tuning used in most contemporary music, people usually favor 432Hz for its calming and natural harmonic resonance, believed to promote relaxation and well-being.

We handcraft the handpans in our workshop with meticulous attention to detail. We start with high-quality STL 430 stainless steel and shape it through precise hammering and tuning processes. Each handpan undergoes rigorous quality checks to ensure it meets Cosmos Handpans standards of sound quality and durability.

To care for a handpan, it is important to keep it clean and dry, and to avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or humidity. It is also recommended to store the instrument in a soft case or cover to protect it from scratches and damage.(More tips for maintaining handpan
