◾ MattOpan handpans are designed and built by an established musician who, by trade, understands the quality standards that underpin a great instrument, and that the integrity of the sound is paramount. MattOpan handpans have been particularly designed to achieve ultra-smooth harmonics and an incomparable deep resonating bass. Note strength and stability have been enhanced through a process of meticulously tuning each fundamental note with both its octave and its harmonic.

◾ MattOpan handpans come in 11 standard tunings (link to videos and details), and can be custom made to most other scales to your request!

◾ MattOpan handpans are all made from Australian steel, and undergo multiple intense heat treatments to achieve your handpan’s optimal sound resonance and longevity (rust resistance and tuning stability). The heat variations also create colour variations between handpans; individual handpans may be a rich bronze, luminescent blue or deep black. Each handpan has its own unique colour and character, and you will find yourself quickly building a relationship and language with your particular handpan because of its uniqueness.
