About this handpan
“The Galaxy.” The pinnacle of handpan engineering. With deep bass frequencies and a massive 21-note range spanning the top and bottom shells, this instrument offers the chromatic freedom of a piano with the soul of a ghatam. The F# Low Pygmy 21 is designed for the artist who has outgrown standard scales. Whether you are scoring film music, performing solo concerts, or leading sound journeys, the extended range allows for basslines, chords, and melody to be played simultaneously. This is not just a handpan; it is an orchestra. With a full layout of notes on the top shell and a complex arrangement of bass and passing notes on the bottom shell (Mutant), you have access to chromatic intervals. This allows you to change keys, weave complex harmonies, and play full songs without running out of notes.
Sound & Scale
Low Pygmy scale is a resonance-rich hexatonic minor system optimized for endless, non-resolving, meditative flow, with added octaves layering for harmonic depth.

I just purchased the F# 21-note pygmy handpan from CHIRP handpans through Amazonand the experience was very nice. Chiraag, the proprietor, is very helpful during the entire purchase process. The quality of the handpan is stellar. I'm yet to play the handpan, but I look forward to playing it soon.

When I first visited Chirag’s store with a friend, I was not planning to buy any handpan as I have one already, but fell in love with 21-note one and was obsessed for more than a week. So I bought it, got it and the quality of the sound is magnificent! It’s pure magic! The service is great and warm, welcoming. Highly highly recommend! Even if you never played any instrument before, you can enjoy it and learn quickly. It’s a true healer for the soul. Love it!
