INTERESTING FACTS

Handpan, also known as Pantam or Hang drum, is a musical instrument whose roots trace back to the late 19th and early 20th centuries. At that time, in regions such as Trinidad and Indonesia, the first attempts at melodic instruments made from metal (barrels and metal containers) appeared, known as "steeldrum". These instruments featured multiple tones around the perimeter, tuned to different scales, and were mostly played with mallets.

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 Swiss dialect). Panart no longer manufactures these instruments, and since then, dozens of other handpan makers have emerged.

Handpan is an instrument you can enjoy at home and also play at a top virtuoso concert level. It can be combined with other instruments or additional handpans. Learning to play the handpan starts with basic techniques for producing tones and their combinations, elementary rhythmic structures, and progresses to advanced techniques, complex rhythmic structures, and creative improvisation. All of this can be learned during lessons with Pavel Sedláček.
