Handpans · VeChi Sound and friends
Hear the scale before you fall for it
Thirty scales you can play right here. Then a free call, a visit, or a sound clip of the exact instrument before you pay.
Buying a handpan online is mostly guesswork. Every instrument sounds different, even two of the same scale from the same maker. Everything in stock has been played by me. Anything ordered is checked and recorded by me before it ships.
My own line, VeChi Sound Handpans, is built with mrpans. Alongside it I carry a small group of makers I trust, so you can compare voices side by side in one room.
Find your scale
Four questions, then a suggestion or two
Tap play to hear a scale. Tap the notes to play it yourself. Switch between sizes with the small buttons. Sound is synthesised here, real steel sounds warmer. On a phone, turn silent mode off.
A name like 10+3 means ten notes on top and three tuned into the bottom shell: extra low or high notes without a bigger instrument. Bottom layouts shown here are typical. The exact layout of any instrument I have, I confirm on request.
