    Description

    Pro Handpan by HAPI.

    Our Pro Handpans are an excellent fit for recording artists or anyone looking for perfection.

    Handpans are not just musical instruments; they are tools for relaxation and self-discovery. Embrace the therapeutic power of sound and find your inner harmony.

    Our handpans have extremely tight tuning tolerances which allows the harmonics of the notes to overlap and share frequencies. They also have a polished steel finish.

    Created from heat treated steel. All the notes are tuned with a fundamental, octave and fifth harmonic for a rich sound. Each Handpan has a beautiful bloom, the top note excites the side notes into ringing. This increases the harmonic tones.

    Our handpans are made with thousands upon thousands of precision hammer blows. Each is hand worked, and carefully tuned with a strobe tuner. Please allow for maker marks in handmade instruments like this. It is part of the normal process in the hammering and tuning (each is made by me, Grahm Doe, in Oakhurst, California) and each is a unique sound sculpture. I only make a small amount of handpans per year as they are very time consuming to create. I pour all my experience and care into each one. It took me 10 years to perfect my process and tuning. I focus on making handpans that have a lot of resonance and soul to the sound.

    Handpan 8 Note Sequoia F Major Scale:

    handpan listen with headphones

    Sequoia Scale (derived from F Major). The top center note is F3. Side notes from lowest to highest are A3, C4, D4, E4, F4, G4, A4. The bottom Udu tone is tuned to F2. The bottom shell is tuned to E5. F Major Sequoia scale does not include the Bb of the full scale. The Bb normally adds a touch of sorrow to the scale. Like the giant trees of its name this scale feels full of peace and joy. Calm, happy and thankful feelings emerge as you flow through the scale. Many of Beethoven’s works are in F major. Without the Bb the scale is comprised of all whole notes and is very compatible with other instruments. Octaves of F3, F4 and A3, A4 are found in the scale adding harmonic sharing and harmonious overlapping of the notes.

    Handpan 8 Note Sierra E Minor Scale:

    handpan listen with headphones

    Sierra Scale (derived from E Minor). The top center note is E3. Side notes from lowest to highest are A3, C4, D4, E4, F#4, G4, A4. The bottom Udu tone is tuned to F2. The bottom shell is tuned to E5. Octaves of E3, E4 and A3, A4 are found in the scale adding harmonic sharing and harmonious overlapping of the notes. E Minor Sierra Scale is based on E Minor.  It does not have the usual B note in the scale. This scale produces a soothing meditative sound.

    Handpan 8 Note El Capitan D Minor Scale:

    handpan listen with headphones

    El Capitan Scale (derived from D Minor). This is our most popular scale!  The top center note is D3. Side notes from lowest to highest are A3, C4, D4, E4, F4, G4, A4. The bottom Udu tone is tuned to F2. The bottom shell is tuned to E5. D Minor El Capitan scale does not include the Bb of the full scale. The Bb normally adds a touch of sorrow to the scale. In this version you get an uplifting feeling by playing one 1/2 of the instrument while the other 1/2 has a more meditative feel. It's wonderful to have a scale that can express so much emotional range in one instrument. Without the Bb the scale is comprised of all whole notes and is very compatible with other instruments. The center Ding note is quite low at D3 and provides nice contrast to the higher notes around the perimeter. Octaves of D3, D4 and A3, A4 are found in the scale adding harmonic sharing and harmonious overlapping of the notes.

      HAPI Handpan Customer Reviews

      This instrument has completely changed my performances!

      • I purchased a D Celtic minor handpan from you in Aug, 2020. This instrument has completely changed my performances! I have another handpan and a couple of other tongue drums but Since i started playing the hapipan I have had audience members tell me they got chills Listening to the music or, the sound is magical. This pan was a great investment.

      It arrived Wednesday and it's absolutely beautiful.

      • So much more than I could have imagined. The sound is wonderful, the workmanship is amazing, and I'm enjoying it immensely. Thank you again!

      Oh MY!!! I was literally on the edge of my seat all day and now it's finally here!

      • My new instrument! Grahm, THANK YOU so much for all of your hard work on this amazing instrument. I cannot wait to learn how to play. It's absolutely gorgeous, it sounds beautiful and has an amazing bloom, WAY better than I could have ever hoped for. Thank you thank you thank you!!!

      I have never been happier with any instrument before.

      •  It seems to have the ability to sync with the primitive mind, allowing for an almost immediate ability to play, regardless of musical background or experience level. It is not just the mesmerizing sounds you hear that make it so joyful. There is a component to it that you physically feel; reverberations of a therapeutic and soothing quality. It is a true work of art in all ways; a beautiful masterpiece.

      I am extremely pleased with the Hapi Handpan.

      • This is a great pan, and the sound and resonance is absolutely great. I am still learning its particular playing techniques due to the individual work of sound art that it is. I own and have played many others, and your pan is the one that I will use for creative meditation. The sound is open, and all notes are evenly matched, and well in tune. The entire Handpan is very pleasing visually, and the craftsmanship is very high. I will purchase again.

      I am delighted to tell you my Hapi Handpan arrived this morning.

      • Thanks for the great service. It came so fast from when I placed the order to when it was in my hands. You packaged is so well, too, and it arrived in perfect condition. It looks and sounds beautiful. I am so pleased and look forward to playing it often for my own contemplative enjoyment and for the deep relaxation of students at the end of my yoga classes. Thanks so much for all your dedicated, hands-on learning and labor of love that have gone into making this instrument. I have already been playing and loving three Hapi tongue drums, and this handpan brings my appreciation and potential for meditative musical expression into another wondrous dimension.

      I LOVE my HAPI handpan.

      •  I play literally everyday and it has been a life changer, especially during COVID. The sound quality is perfect. It has been an amazing way to relax and intuitively develop as a musician. Huge thank you to the talented HAPI team." -Daniel Dinay, Berkeley, California
