Frequently Asked Questions

Spirit Handpan costs can vary.

I currently accept financing through Klarna for all US-based orders. If you’re interested in using Klarna, please include a note about that in your custom order.

Spirit Handpans come in a variety of materials that you can choose from when you place a custom order.

I’ve built on nitrided, ember, dolomia, and stainless steel.

While stainless and ember steel are both rust resistant, especially compared to raw steel, they still need to be maintained to prevent rust.

Check out my Handpan Care page for more details.

Yes! I typically ship handpans across the continental United States, but I can also ship them internationally.

You can, however, pick your instrument up in person which does come with some perks!

If you purchase a Spirit Handpan, you will get a free Namana Shoulder Bag ($175 value) which includes armor for the top of your handpan.

I also offer Namana Armored Backpacks for standard sized handpans which includes extra armor for any bottom notes. If you purchase a handpan from me, I can offer you the backpack for only $100 (a $275 value).

I am always happy to take requests for sound models that are not on the list as long as they are within my ability to create.

Please describe your perfect handpan on the Custom Order page and we can discuss it from there.

I do offer retunes and repairs for all Spirit Handpans and some other brands as well.

Please visit Repairs and Retunes to make your request.

Every Spirit Handpan is engraved with the sound model, serial number, date, and my signature under the rim on the bottom shell, below the first note.

Many factors can contribute to variations in the color and finish of your handpan. Steel is an organic material with slightly fluctuating metal contents which can cause the finished color to vary from batch to batch of steel. This in no way effects the sound or quality of your handpan.

Another reason is that it can be hard to get a photo that fully captures the luminescence of a handpan! The light and tone of a room can alter the metallic appearance of your instrument as well as the instruments when I take their photo!
