INTERESTING FACTS

Handpan, also known as Pantam or Hang drum, is a musical instrument with roots dating back to the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. At that time, the first attempts at melodic instruments made of metal (barrels and metal containers) appeared in Trinidad and Indonesia - known as steeldrum. These instruments had multiple tones around the rim tuned to different scales and were mostly played with sticks.

The first instruments resembling today's 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 manufactures these instruments, and since then, dozens of other manufacturers have emerged.

Handpan is an instrument that you can enjoy at home alone, but it can also be played at a top-notch virtuoso concert level, combined with other instruments, other handpans, etc. Learning to play the handpan starts with basic tone creation techniques and their combinations, elementary rhythmic structures, and progresses to advanced techniques, more complex rhythmic structures, and creative improvisation possibilities. You can learn all of this in our lessons with Pavel Sedláček.

Savita Handpans are our own instruments where we projected the very best that we know in the realm of handpans: beautiful sound, rich resonances and of course, favourable price.
