Notes
How we build Handpans
The handpan instrument is formed by the union of two hemispherical shells in treated steel, fixed hermetically in order to create a sounding board.
The lower cap, characterized by the presence of a circular hole in the center, has the function of support base; the upper one is expertly worked by hand from the craftsman and is the “active” and melodic part of the sound sculpture.
In this past we create cavities are created, the sound areas, developed around the central ledge called Ding.
Such areas, thanks to many different types of hammers, are softened and subsequently intoned in order to create a scale of notes.
