We’ve always dreamed of creating a Handpan that reflects our passion for music and our commitment to quality. The Handpan market has become increasingly complicated, especially for beginners, with many options, unclear pricing, and varying levels of quality. It’s hard to know which scale to choose, which maker to trust, and whether the instrument will live up to expectations.

That’s why we created the YataoPan. We wanted to provide an instrument that guarantees high quality at a fair price. We collaborated with a skilled Handpan maker in Guangzhou, China, to bring this unique instrument to life. The result is a beautifully crafted Handpan that carries our name and reflects our commitment to quality.
