Standard D Arcadia Handpan, Nitrided

I have over a decade of experience crafting handpans across various steels. 

Located in Asheville, North Carolina, every handpan I produce has been expertly shaped by hand with care, passion, and dedication.

For in-stock instruments, your handpan will ship in 1–3 business days. For deliveries within the contiguous US, the cost is a flat $125, though shipping times may vary.

When placing a custom order, you can expect your instrument to typically be crafted between 2-4 weeks. We can stay in touch from start to finish so you can receive updates, and even get a sneak peek at your instrument in various stages of the process.

There are many technical aspects that make a handpan high quality, then there is something a bit more organic that makes a handpan feel soulful. I put all of these things in my instrument to create a high quality instrument that also feels truly unique and special when you play it.

• Incredibly High Stability: Notes will stay in tune for a long time with normal velocity playing and will withstand occasional firm strikes.

• Precise Tuning: Focus on expression, knowing your notes won’t sound "off" or clash.

• Impeccable Tonal Quality: Enjoy a pure, bright, and refined sound.

• Responsiveness: Striking the pan will easily produce the desired sounds

• High Isolation: Striking one note will only activate that note. Whereas with other pans you may experience dissonance when other nearby notes are also activated. Spirit Handpans deliver improved performance with reduced chatter between notes.

• Beautiful Aesthetic: Let the gorgeous finish inspire you to produce wonderful music

• Blooming overtones that create a cosmic playing experience

• Infused with spirit and passion that customers have reported truly being able to feel when they play my handpans

I am committed to making Spirit Handpans amongst the highest quality instruments on the market. Your handpan should stay in tune for at least one year with gentle/average velocity playing. Most customers report still being satisfied with their Spirit Handpan multiple years after purchase. 

I have designed your instrument to maintain its appearance for many years to come when you follow my recommended care and maintenance.

I guarantee that the two halves of your instrument will remain together for at least ten years, though it should last a lifetime. In the unlikely event that your instrument naturally separates (this means it does not separate due to damage caused to your instrument), I will reglue your handpan.

I will be available to retune your handpan when the time comes. My Retune fee for Spirit Handpans is $115 for standard 9 note total instruments, and is $20 more per note for instruments with additional notes.

I will always be available to answer questions or concerns regarding your handpan over the course of the life of the instrument.

“From the bottom of my heart, thank you for creating such a beautiful instrument. I'm only thirty minutes in and feel like I have found the sound I've been looking for. It almost forces you to open the doors of possibility. All those little nuances are happening so naturally. My playing will grow immensely, top notch work!”
