Mini Handpan – D minor

Inspired by the European hang drum, our Mini Handpans have 7 distinct note panels and ship with a protective backpack style bag.
With a strong Steel Pan drum flavour in their sound, these Mini Handpans are great for anyone wanting a smaller, compact size pan to add a rich, melodic sound to their ensemble.

We were stoked to recently land our first batch of Mini Handpans … it’s been a long journey to finally get the sound and texture we want in this compact version.
We are 100% sure you’ll love the brighter tonal quality and overall sound on this model

Tuning: D Minor (Black)

Dimensions: 40cm x 17cm
Weight: 2.5kg

Maintenance & Care

We recommend ongoing care and maintenance on handpans. Here are a few tips to protect the handpan from rusting and other damage:

♪ Sweat may deposit salts to the surface, which contribute to rust formation. Before playing, wash and dry your hands.

♪ Don’t play the handpan if it’s hot (for example, if it’s been in the sun).

♪ Handpans should only be played gently and with one finger at a time: No hands, fists, or mallets.

♪ After each play, wipe down the instrument with a soft, clean, dry cloth (preferably microfibre).

♪ Clean your handpan every 6 – 12 months to remove dirt & oils: Use isopropyl alcohol, or a more gentle rubbing alcohol (isopropyl alcohol or ethanol based of 50-75%, diluted with water). Use a soft cloth on both sides, the rim, and the inside.
If your handpan has oil on it, you’ll need to re-apply it since the cleaning will remove the oil.

♪ Store your handpan in a cool place, and out of direct sunlight, ideally outside the case in a safe place. If stored inside the case, leave the zip 1/4 open to release the moisture from the case. Check that the foam in the case doesn’t get damp.

♪ Apply Phoenix oil every 2 weeks – 2 months. Make sure to only use appropriate oil/wax for this process. You can get Phoenix oil here.
