The handpan—a captivating instrument that evokes peace, joy, and creativity—is becoming increasingly popular as more people discover its unique sound. But if you’re just starting out, choosing the right handpan can feel overwhelming. 

After all, buying one is a big commitment, and how do you know if this beautiful, soulful instrument is the right fit for you?

At The Sound Artist, we believe in giving you the flexibility to explore your musical journey in a way that feels right for you. That’s why we offer a unique opportunity to rent a handpan for 6 or 12 weeks before making a purchase. With this approach, you can begin your handpan exploration without the pressure of committing to an instrument too early.

Why Renting a Handpan is a Great Option for Beginners

When you’re starting out, there’s a lot to learn and discover about handpans. The sound, the feel, the tuning—each handpan is as unique as the person who plays it. Renting allows you the freedom to fully immerse yourself in this new experience without the rush to decide whether or not you want to purchase one. 

It’s a chance to explore, experiment, and truly connect with the instrument before making a permanent decision.

For many, the uncertainty of buying an instrument without having had enough time to fully understand it becomes a barrier to starting. 

Renting breaks that barrier, giving you the space to follow your musical path at your own pace. And if you fall in love with this journey (which many do!), you’ll have the confidence to make a purchase based on your experience and expert guidance.

The Handpan’s Unique Tuning: Why Renting Makes Sense

One of the most distinctive features of the handpan is its tuning. Each handpan is tuned to a specific scale, such as the D Kurd, the Amara, or the Celtic scale, and each scale has a very unique sound and emotional vibe. 

Unlike other instruments that can be retuned to different scales or tunings, each handpan is uniquely tuned to a specific scale that cannot be easily changed. 

That’s why choosing the right one becomes an even more thoughtful decision for your musical journey. 

How Renting Works at The Sound Artist

Renting a handpan with The Sound Artist is simple. All you need to do is book lessons with us, and we’ll offer the option to rent a handpan for 6 or 12 weeks, based on your preferences and how long you’d like to explore. 

The flexibility of this rental period gives you time to decide at your own pace—whether you want to get comfortable with the basics or dive deeper into your practice.

  • 6-Week Handpan Rental Plan
    This is perfect for those who want a shorter, more focused trial period. Whether you’re just getting started or have limited time to explore, the 6-week rental gives you enough time to experience the handpan and make an informed decision.
  • 12-Week Handpan Rental Plan
    If you’re looking for more time to dive deep into learning, the 12-week rental option provides the extra time to experience the instrument and develop your skills further. This plan is ideal if you want a more immersive journey before committing to a purchase.

It’s important to note here that renting is tied to our handpan lessons so that you receive dedicated instruction to make the most out of your rental period.
