INTERESTING FACTS

Handpan, also known as Pantam or Hang drum, is a musical instrument whose roots date back to the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. At that time, in the regions of Trinidad and Indonesia, the first attempts at melodic instruments made of metal (barrels and metal containers) appeared – known as steeldrums. These instruments had multiple notes tuned to different scales around the rim and were usually played with mallets.

The first instruments resembling today’s handpan appeared around the year 2000 in Switzerland – developed by the company Panart, and the instrument was named Hang or Hang drum (“hang” means “hand” in the Swiss dialect). Panart no longer produces these instruments, and since then dozens of other handpan makers have gradually emerged.

Handpan is an instrument you can enjoy playing alone at home, while it is also suitable for top-level virtuosic concert performances, combining it with other instruments or additional handpans. Learning to play the handpan begins with basic tone-producing techniques and their combinations, elementary rhythmic structures, and continues with more advanced techniques, complex rhythms, and creative improvisation possibilities. You can learn all of this with us during lessons with Pavel Sedláček.
