INTERESTING FACTS

Handpan, also known as Pantam or Hang drum, is a musical instrument with origins dating back to the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. At that time, early attempts at melodic metal instruments (barrels and metal containers) started to appear in Trinidad and Indonesia, eventually becoming known as "steeldrums". These instruments had multiple tones arranged around their perimeter, tuned in various scales, and were usually played with mallets.

The first instruments resembling the modern handpan appeared around the year 2000 in Switzerland, developed by the company Panart. The instrument was named Hang, or Hang drum ("hang" means "hand" in the Swiss dialect). However, Panart no longer produces these instruments, and since then, dozens of other manufacturers have emerged, creating their own versions of the handpan.

The handpan is an instrument that can bring joy whether you play it alone at home or at a top-tier virtuoso concert. It can be combined with other instruments, additional handpans, and more. Learning to play the handpan begins with basic techniques for producing tones and their combinations, elementary rhythmic structures, and progresses to advanced techniques, more complex rhythms, and creative improvisation. You can learn all of this in our lessons with Pavel Sedláček.
