Ayasa Instruments

Handpan makers working after the Hang

Ayasa is one of the workshops that grew up after PANArt stopped making the Hang, tuning nitrided steel shells to named scales rather than to a single fixed layout — which is how handpans are bought now.

Models

  • Ayasa Handpan

    Hand percussion · Germany

    Handpans after the Hang are specified by their scale — D Kurd, C# Amara, F Low Pygmy — because the tuning is the instrument. Ayasa's are nitrided steel, hand-hammered, and made to a chosen note layout.

Categories

  • Hand Percussion

    Congas, bongos, djembes, cajons, timbales, frame drums, and the small instruments that live on a percussion table: tambourines, cowbells, shakers, and claves.
