Peterpan Handpans

PeterPan Handpans is a handpan maker and retailer based in Darwen, Lancashire, UK. The brand creates and sells handmade performance handpans, also described as pantam percussion instruments, in a range of scales and designs. Its instruments are made gradually to help ensure stability and clarity of sound, and each is individually tuned and finished with distinctive flame-produced artwork. PeterPan says that, in more than eight years of creating handpans, none has been returned for retuning.

The online shop features instruments in different scales and price ranges, including Celtic D minor, Equinox and multi-scale models, alongside a lower-priced “Bargain Basement” option. The website also lists beginner-to-advanced lessons, one-to-one learning support and handpan retreat weekends. Customer comments highlight a welcoming, unhurried teaching experience and the quality and individuality of the instruments. PeterPan Handpans aims to support musicians at different stages, whether they are choosing an instrument, developing their playing or exploring handpan music in a group setting.
