Description:
Handpans are a relatively new class of instrument. The fist of them was the Hang, developed
in the year 2000 in switzerland. It is an idiophone by technical
classification. It consists of two steel half-shells glued together at
the rim. Various ‘tone field’s are hammered into the sides and the root
note is at the top in the centre. The lower half-shell has a hole in it
which allows for helmholtz resonance similar to a ghatam.Playing this
instrument creates an overtone rich sound which is unique. This
instrument has become a popular tool in meditation music.
