I was very excited for having a handpan source and provider here in Bangalore. Thanks much Chirag for spending time and explaining the process of creation and helping select the right one for my journey with handpan to start with. I am loving the experience and spending time on my handpan. Cannot wait to lay me hands in another one.
Chirag was very helpful and patient and enthusiastic in helping me through the process and selection esp when I was a beginner with no musical background knowledge.

Finally, I got my Handpan from Chirp Handpans. I must admit that I am a novice in this field but the entire experience of meeting the founder, Chirag and knowing more about his journey from corporate to following his calling and passion in life was nothing short of inspiring. He spent so much time with me explaining about everything about handpan to meticulously tuning my handpan was heart warming. Playing it is therapeutic and amazing. I wish to learn more from everyone in this field.

I recently bought a handpan (D kurd) from Chirp Handpans and Chirag has been a delight in this journey.
He spend a great deal of time to explain the basics of the process, his story, journey, handpans, materials and how-to go about further in learning more about the handpan.
I went with no knowledge of the notes or materials and he was patient in answering all queries, however naive they might have been..
He has extensive knowledge and experience in the handpan world, and is extremely dedicated in providing the best to handpan enthusiasts..
Would highly recommend buying from him!

Recently purchased a handpan crafted by Chirag. The buying experience was great… I went to pick up my instrument directly from him with my son… we were made to feel at home instantly. Chirag patiently answered all my questions and showed me how to use the handpan as it is my first handpan. Chirp Handpans are one of the most competitively priced handpans in the country today. I got a D Kurd 10 crafted by Chirag. It is neatly crafted and sounds good. I would certainly recommend Chirp Handpans.

I got my quality handpan from Chirag. He is very approachable, replies within minutes, solved all my doubts neutrally, after sales guidance is prompt, he is more of an artist than a businessman. He was flexible with the payment terms and understood all my concerns as a close friend. I would like to recommend him for your handpan if at all you're confused in selecting a manufacturer.
Moreover, I am proud to own a chirp handpan which is made in India, by an Indian for an Indian.
