Having provided over 3000 of the world's handpans since 2016, NovaPans Handpans remains the top brand for offering both entry to professional level handpans at a reasonable price.

Ever since we began selling in 2016, when the so-called pioneers of the handpan industry told everybody you had to spend a fortune to buy a handpan, wait months to even years to receive it, and then seek council from only their "original" makers with regards to how to play and (yes) even talk about it, we decided to form our own community.

Now 3000+ strong, NovaPans Handpans has served and continues to serve the undying demand for affordable yet nonetheless high quality handpans for all levels of playing.

No waiting lists. No inflated pricing. Just quality handpans built to your preference.

1. The all-round best handpan for price over quality, our Universal Handpans (Generation 4). We call them Universal because not only are they the most affordable, but they are also the easiest to learn and play. There is no exceptional technique needed to master a Gen 4 Handpan, the skill really comes in anything from a matter of minutes to a few hours.

2. The best there is for projection and intonation, our Performance or "Virtuoso" Handpans (Generation 3). These beautiful creations were made specifically for large space performances whether that be busking out in town, or performing on stage. The Generation 3s boast projection and control of intonation when playing loud.

3. Essential for meditation and stress-relief, The Sound Healing Handpan (Generation 7). The Gen 7s are notorious for their sound healing properties with their unearthly sustain and gorgeous sheen (thanks to them being made out of stainless steel). With the quality of sound you get on one of these Sound Healing Handpans, it makes you question the true value of a top quality handpan.

The Generation number is no reference to anything other than the order in which the handpan model was introduced to the store.

It’s a good idea to occasionally clean your handpan with a microfibre cloth, ideally after each use.

It's also important to regularly apply oil to your handpan, particularly for Nitrided Steel models, to prevent rust. We recommend Phoenix oil, but there are other options if you don't have it. Remember, a little oil goes a long way!

Store your handpan in a cool, dry place since moisture can damage metal. Ideally, keep it in its case for added protection.
