With Petrovič Drums Handpan, you no longer have to compromise in terms of sound, price, material quality, and craftsmanship.
This 56cm model, with its 9 tones and C♯ minor scale (CIS MOL), is ideal for beginners, yet due to its quality, it's suitable for professional musicians as well.
We have been selling musical instruments since 2009, which we source and have manufactured in authentic workshops worldwide. Our handpans are crafted by the best Chinese masters. In 2010 when handpans became very popular, our masters began developing their first handpans, which were getting better every year.
Now we can introduce the latest and greatest generation of our Petrovič Drums Handpan, which fully meets our quality standards and we are confident that it can easily compete with significantly more expensive Handpan in the market.
What material is the handpan made from?
In this price range you will usually only find handpans made from nitrided steel which has a shorter resonance than the stainless steel used in our handpan.
In addition, our handpan is made from steel with a thickness of 1.2mm, not 1mm as is usually the case in this price range with competitors.
We did not want to cut corners and compromise on sound quality.
How is our handpan made?
First, two mechanically pre-shaped half-shells in the shape of a wok are firmly connected. Then the tone fields are precisely hammered into the material by an experienced master. Once the "rough structure" is in place, the individual tones are carefully tuned. This process is the most time-consuming and requires the most experience and sharp, seasoned ears. To ensure the hand pan is safely protected, it is encased in a protective ring made from high-quality robust rubber.Who is the Petrovič Drums Handpan intended for?
We recommend the Petrovič Drums Handpan for beginners as well as professional musicians. With us, you get an easily playable handpan with excellent value for money.
Tuning C♯ minor (cis mol)
The C♯ minor tuning belongs to the deepest and most emotional tunings of handpan. It's characterized by a subtly melancholic, introspective sound that naturally induces peace, concentration, and inner silence.
This tuning is popular for meditative play, sound healing, intuitive improvisation and personal playing for oneself. The tones connect beautifully with each other and create a fluid, harmonious sound without disturbing dissonances, making C♯ minor suitable for beginners as well.
C♯ minor has an earthy, deep and stable effect, yet also contains a subtle mystery. It combines well with voice and singing, shamanic or frame drum, gongs and other healing instruments. It is the ideal tuning for those seeking a deep, soothing and emotionally rich handpan sound.
And those who like to take their hand pan for a hangout in the park or by the campfire might not want to carry around an instrument worth several thousand dollars. The Petrovič Drums Handpan is ideally suited for this purpose because not only does it sound really good, but it's also robustly built, perfectly tuned and rust-resistant.
In our opinion, it is certainly possible to play professionally on stage with the Petrovič Drums Handpan.
Handling and care of the handpan
Even though a high-quality padded bag is part of the delivery, as with other musical instruments, we recommend handling the handpan carefully and playing it correctly.
You need to realize that a handpan is not a drum that you can beat hard but a delicate percussion instrument. We recommend avoiding playing like on African drums and hard hits with palms.
Additionally, it doesn't hurt if you occasionally clean its surface with a soft cloth or gently treat it with a bit of oil (which you can find in our offer). And the rubber ring appreciates occasional spraying with rubber care (e.g., silicone oil).
We recommend purchasing a professional hard cover for your handpan, which you put in the bag and your handpan will be even better protected. You can find it in our offer.
What sets the Petrovic Drums Handpan apart from other handpans in this price range?
We have played on various cheap and expensive handpans. Our Petrovič Drums Handpan clearly shows the long experience and careful engineering of instrument manufacturers. Compared to other handpans in this price category, it gives a much higher quality impression. It is purely tuned and various tone fields respond similarly well. Thanks to the high-quality stainless steel, it also has a beautiful reverberation. If you are looking for a cheap hand pan that also sounds really good, then you are at the right address with our Petrovič Drums Handpan.
Can you really expect a good instrument for this price?
We say Yes! Because we work directly with the masters who make handpans. Every handpan is consistently tuned and the tuning is directly checked by us before it is shipped to Europe.
We invest in quality packaging and air freight so that the handpans arrive at us and later at your place precisely tuned.
And because we sell handpans without intermediaries we have a low margin on them, so we can offer this high-quality instrument at an attractive price.
Why is CIS minor so suitable for beginners?
This is because all the notes go so well together that you can play them in any order without playing unpleasant (dissonant) notes. This is ideal for beginners and of course for everyone who doesn't want to think too much while playing, but rather wants to play intuitively.
