The original idea of the handpan came from the traditional steel drums of the Caribbean less than 25 years ago.

This was the brainchild of team in Switzerland known as Panart. 

They modified the steel drum over several years and created the handpan.

James has a range handpan music from mediative to upbeat which can be a perfect addition to events, workshops, or classes.

Having played for festivals, launch parties, openings, and corporate events there is a real calling for this unique instrument.

We represent several musicians if you feel your event would benefit from a handpan.
