Kurz vor dem Einschlafen kam mir eine Melodie. Ich konnte sie sofort spielen und aufnehmen, ohne das ganze Haus zu wecken.

This mini handpan costs more than most full-size ones, and the price tag is correct. The Palm-Zen isn't a budget travel handpan. It's a professional instrument that happens to fit in a backpack, made for sound therapists and working musicians. It uses the same premium steel as our highest-quality full-size models, and every tone field is shaped individually by hand. Nine notes in F Kurd give it a warm, meditative sound.
The smaller the playing surface, the less forgiving it is. On a 53 cm shell, the tuner has room to work: a tone field can sit half a centimetre off and the ear barely notices. On a 30 cm shell, the same nine fields share a third of the space, so every deviation shows up right away in the overtones. More shells get rejected, and tuning takes longer. That's why a cheap mini handpan is almost always a poorly tuned one.
Cheap minis are drawn from thin, standard sheet metal. If you've ever held one, you know the result: the note is there, but it cuts off after a second and sounds tinny. Premium steel keeps the fundamental stable and lets the sustain ring out. You can hear this difference more clearly on a 30 cm shell than on a 53 cm one, because at this size the material carries the whole sound.
Kurd is the most played handpan scale in the world: meditative, warm, and instantly melodic. In F, it sits a little higher and sounds more open than the common D version. That's a deliberate choice: small shells sound clearest in higher registers. A mini in a low D sounds pinched, while a mini in F sounds complete. There are no wrong notes. See all our Kurd models in the Kurd collection.
It goes wherever the work does: home visits, the office, the stage, the road. It also suits players who already own a full-size instrument and want a second one that doesn't fall short on sound. In short, it's for anyone who uses a mini as a working tool rather than a souvenir. If you're looking for an affordable first instrument, this isn't the right model. Have a look around the rest of our handpan collection.

Each instrument is handmade, so slight variations in size, colour, and finish can occur. They're a sign of genuine craftsmanship.
Every instrument is retuned by hand and individually sound-checked before shipping. Insured shipping with tracking. 30-day returns. Not sure which model to choose? You can reach us before and after you buy.
Choose the scale that moves you when you listen, not the one that looks best on paper. Minor tunings usually feel warm and introspective, while major tunings feel more open and bright. Take your time listening to the sound sample of the model you like. If you plan to play with other instruments, 440 Hz is the easiest choice.
Yes. A handpan's notes are tuned so that any sequence of notes sounds harmonious. You don't need sheet music or lessons. Start with a few notes and simple rhythms. The short guide next to the note options shows you how many notes are right for you.
