Karumi describes his journey becoming a handpan maker
Since 2013, when I first discovered the Handpan, I have been fully immersed in the community of players, makers and musicians of this unique instrument. The sounds of the beautiful handpans "stole" my heart and began to steer my life in a completely new direction. In 2016 I started the ambitious project to build a Hanpan myself. After many months of research, attempts and mistakes, frustration and small "victories" I finally succeeded in making a first prototype. Since then I have been fully dedicated to the production of this art form (or sound sculptures, as some people describe these musical instruments). I put my heart and soul into building these instruments and understand the deep meaning and influence that these instruments have on people's lives.
