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

This instrument costs more than most full-size handpans. That is not a mistake on the price tag: the Palm-Zen is not a cheap travel handpan but a professional instrument that happens to fit in a backpack. The same premium steel as our highest-quality large models, nine notes in F Kurd, every tone field individually worked out by hand.
The smaller the playing surface, the less it forgives. On 53 cm the tuner has room: a tone field may sit half a centimetre off, and the ear barely notices. On 30 cm, the same nine fields sit on a third of the surface - every deviation shows up immediately in the overtones. The rejection rate is correspondingly higher, the tuning time longer. That is why a cheap mini handpan is almost always a badly tuned mini handpan.
Cheap minis are drawn from thin standard sheet. Anyone who has held one knows the result: the note is there, but it breaks off after a second and sounds tinny. Premium steel keeps the fundamental stable and lets the sustain carry. On 30 cm this difference is more clearly audible than on 53 cm - here the material carries the whole sound.
Kurd is the most played handpan scale in the world: meditative, warm, immediately melodic. In F it sits a touch higher and more open than the widespread D version. That is a deliberate choice: small bodies have their best definition in higher registers. A mini in a deep D sounds pinched; a mini in F sounds complete. There are no wrong notes. All Kurd models in our collection Kurd handpans.
For sound therapists and musicians at work: home visits, practice, stage, travel. For players who already own a large instrument and want a second one that does not fall short in sound. In short: for anyone who uses a mini as a working tool and not as a souvenir. If you are looking for an affordable first instrument, this model is the wrong one - have a look around our collection instead. All models in our collection Our handpans.
Accessories worth around £263 in total - at no extra cost. Unpack and play straight away.
Handmade: slight variations in size, colour and finish are possible and a sign of genuine craftsmanship.
Every instrument is retuned by hand and individually sound-checked before dispatch. Dispatched within 24 hours, insured and tracked. 30-day returns. For any question about choosing, you can reach us before and after your purchase.
What matters is not which scale looks best on paper, but which one moves you when you listen. Minor tunings usually feel warm and inward-looking, major tunings more open and bright. So take your time and listen to the sound sample of the model you like. If you want to play with other instruments, 440 Hz is the simplest choice.
Yes, within 30 days of delivery. Our returns and refunds policy explains how it works and which conditions apply.

Every handpan is hand-hammered, tuned note by note by ear and sound-checked before dispatch. As a Swiss company, we stand for care and reliability - audible from the very first strike.

On a handpan there are no wrong notes - no sheet music, no prior knowledge. One strike, and the whirl of thoughts slows down.
