The handpan is an idiophone originating from Switzerland in 2000 and based on the Trinidadian and Tobagonian steel pan. The handpan is made of two hollow steel domes bonded together. The player places the handpan on their lap and strikes with their hand one of of 8–9 dimples.
An instrumental Christmas song, epic handpan ( hang ) cover of Carol of the Bells. *clarification: The song ‘’Carol of the bells’’ which is associated with Christmas actually has nothing to do with it. It was originally based on a Ukrainian folk chant called ‘’Shchedryk’’ and in 1914 it was adapted by Ukrainian composer Mykola Leontovych using words by Peter Wilhousky, and became well known especially in the United States as a Christmas song.
There is absolutely something magical to this. It's like talking to my soul. I release all of my stress and anxiety every time I start playing it in my meditation sessions
This lil test play was made because of my dear friend @atypeofburning gifting me the handpan as a really early Christmas/birthday gift. Its so lovely and I’m really excited to make some more music with it, thank you Blues!!!
