A Modern Rumble
The handpan was created in the late 2000s. In the early days, there were many types of drums; however, as time went on, they became more and more similar to each other.
In curiosity, someone decided to agitate an old coconut shell with random kitchen items to see what happened - it sounded like a different kind of drum! And now we have these incredible handmade percussion instruments called handpans with their signature sound and feel.
The Magic of Handpan
A handpan sounded like a conventional instrument when it was first used in the 1930s, but its tuning scale gives it a unique tone. All pitch intervals are followed by perfect 5ths, which are not found on any other ordinary and more modern musical instruments. This provides each note with an extra oomph of instrumentality- without being too jarring, taking away from this gentle sound.
Few instruments have maintained their capabilities to tap into music therapist frequencies while staying so soothing to listen to - making them able to capture both raw human emotion and entertaining melodies all at once.
A Beat for All
If you're not a musician, don't worry. That's just what a handpan is for!
One of the only instruments which can be played "by ear;" without learning tunings and scales, the handpan was designed to reflect the freedom and joy felt when playing music.
The handpan drum is a bright, colorful instrument for anyone that wants to play music. It's just like the pan drum of the steel drums, but there are no hammers needed with this one. The tones can be mellow or earth-shattering and work well in any line up from classical orchestras, folk bands, rock, and roll up to electronica.
Careful consideration went into crafting this instrument by musicians who wanted every listener in the world to resonate with its sound because having musical skills isn't necessary to enjoy it!
