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, the first attempts at melodic instruments made from metal (barrels and metal containers) began to appear in the areas of Trinidad and Indonesia - these became known as "steeldrum." These instruments had multiple tones around the circumference, tuned to various scales, and were typically played with mallets.

The first instruments resembling today's handpan appeared around the year 2000 in Switzerland - they were developed by the company Panart and the instrument was named Hang or Hang drum ("hang" means "hand" in the Swiss dialect). Panart no longer manufactures these instruments, and since then, dozens of other manufacturers have gradually emerged.

Handpan is an instrument you can enjoy at home and also play at a top virtuosic concert level, combining it with other instruments, additional handpans, etc. Learning to play the handpan starts with basic techniques for producing tones and their combinations, elemental rhythmic structures, and progresses to more advanced techniques, more complex rhythmic structures, and opportunities for creative improvisation. You can learn all this with us during lessons with Pavel Sedláček.

Savita Handpans are our own instruments, into which we have incorporated the best we know in the field of handpans: beautiful sound, stunning design, and, of course, an affordable price.
