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. During that time, the first attempts at melodic instruments made from metal (barrels and metal containers) began to appear in the Trinidad and Indonesia regions, which were called "steeldrums." These instruments had multiple tones around their circumference, tuned to different scales, and were mostly played with mallets.

The first instruments resembling today's handpans appeared around 2000 in Switzerland, developed by the company Panart, and 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 on your own or play at a top-level virtuoso concert, combining it with other instruments, other handpans, etc. Learning to play the handpan starts with basic techniques for producing tones and their combinations, elementary rhythmic structures, and progresses to more advanced techniques, more complex rhythmic structures, and creative improvisation. You can learn all this during lessons with Pavel Sedláček.
