Why handpanladen?
Welcome! I'm Max, musician and founder of the Handpan Shop. Glad you found your way here :)
The Handpan Shop originated in June 2025 from my own journey with this instrument.
From the desire to create a place where it's not about a quick purchase, but about a genuine, guided introduction to the world of the handpan.
For me personally , The Handpan Shop is the fulfillment of a dream:
Creating and selecting handpans that I personally love, play, and want to pick up again and again. Instruments made according to my own vision – honest, deep, and musical.
This is exactly the experience I want to pass on.

A portion of every sale goes towards supporting animal welfare projects. Furthermore, as a handpan shop, we regularly participate in selected social initiatives.
Currently, together with Better Together and Pink Ribbon , we support projects that promote awareness, solidarity and support for those affected and their families.
Our vision
What began as a personal passion is now a family project full of life, music, and encounters.
We want to make high-quality handpans accessible to everyone – regardless of where they live.
Our vision is a place where you can find your handpan safely, transparently and with peace of mind worldwide – fair, reliable and without compromise in quality.
Locations, opening hours & partners
Note for orientation:
The handpan shop is not a traditional retail store with fixed opening hours.
Our concept combines a central origin , online offerings and a growing partner network – making handpan experiences possible regardless of location.
The handpan shop originated in Balingen as a family project.
From there it has grown into an online shop that makes it easier for people to access the handpan – even when there is no place nearby.
Our location in Balingen is not a retail store with fixed opening hours .
We continue to offer introductory courses for beginners here.
In individual cases, trial games are also possible by arrangement .
The handpan shop has deliberately remained personal.
Genuine encounters require time, presence, and tranquility .
At the same time, many tasks arise around instruments, knowledge and courses, which should be carefully nurtured and allowed to develop.
Not all of this can be meaningfully concentrated in one central location – and therein lies a strength.
To make trial sessions, individual appointments and workshops possible for more people in the long term, our network of selected HPL partners is growing step by step.
These partners create spaces where handpan can be experienced in peace – closer to you , with time and personal guidance.

Sound that connects
The handpan is more than an instrument – it's an invitation to connect with yourself. At Handpanladen, we share this fascination with everyone who longs for sound, tranquility, and inspiration. Whether at your first trial session, in one of our workshops, or while listening to a concert: here, space is created for connection, mindfulness, and joy. We believe that music needs no language – it arises in the moment, between people, through resonance.
A place to arrive
The Handpan Shop isn't your average shop; it's a place to breathe. Nestled in the heart of Balingen, you'll find a small, welcoming space where you can explore the world of handpans at your own pace. We take our time, listen, and help you find your instrument – not just by sound, but by feeling. Because you don't simply choose a handpan; you encounter it.
Quality with soul
Each of our handpans is crafted with love, experience, and care. We collaborate with a select workshop that shares the same commitment: the finest sound, harmonious tuning, and sustainable materials. Our goal is to offer instruments that will accompany you for many years – with a sound that touches and sustains you. From the first note to the profound silence that follows.
Learn, listen, let go
Our workshops, courses, and gatherings invite you to become part of the sound itself. No prior experience is necessary—just curiosity. Step by step, you'll learn to play freely, feel rhythms, and connect with others. We'll accompany you on your journey—mindfully, clearly, and with joy. Because music isn't a destination, but a journey.
Handpan Family - sounding together
What drives us is community. Whether you're a beginner, a teacher, or simply a lover of sound – at Handpanladen, you're part of a family that shares sound, not compares. We support projects, events, and ambassadors who spread this idea. Because when we play, we give each other presence. And that's perhaps the most beautiful thing sound can do.
Responsibility & Trust
We believe that true quality goes beyond sound. That's why we focus not only on meticulous craftsmanship, but also on fair partnerships, transparent sourcing, and sustainable materials. Every handpan that leaves our workshop is individually inspected, tuned, and lovingly packaged – by people who live and breathe sound. When you buy or rent from us, you can rely on honest advice, personal contact, and a sense of trust. Because for us, it's not about a quick sale, but about the moment you feel: This is my handpan.
