Credit when you buy
Your rent counts towards any YataoPan
If you want to buy your own handpan after renting, we credit 100% of the rent you have paid – up to 6 monthly payments.
Example: buying a new YataoPan D Kurd 13
| Price of a new YataoPan D Kurd 13 | 1.500 € |
|---|---|
| Rent credited (6 months) | – 750 € |
| You pay | 750 € |
This example refers to a new handpan from our shop, not the rental handpan. Your credit remains valid for 2 months after the rental ends. The rental credit cannot be combined with other discount codes.

Condition of your rental handpan
We distinguish three conditions. Your rental handpan always comes from the middle tier.
- NewNever played, straight from the workshop – this is how we sell YataoPans in our shop.
- Your rental handpanRefurbished / checkedRefurbished or lightly used. Light signs of use are possible; the sound is flawless.
- Heavily usedClear signs of use or in need of tuning. We do not rent out instruments in this condition.
- Sound & tuning: Checked before every rental and retuned if necessary.
- Surface: Cleaned and freshly oiled before shipping.
- Appearance: Light signs of use are possible (fine scratches, patina) – they have no effect on the sound.
Why used? Rental instruments are played by several people one after another. This keeps the monthly price low and it's more sustainable.

Frequently asked questions
Can I rent from outside Germany?
No. The handpan rental is only available for delivery addresses in Germany. You are welcome to read this page in English or French, but the rental handpan must be delivered within Germany.
How long do I have to rent for?
The minimum rental period is 2 months. You pay the rent monthly – there is no upfront payment for several months. After the minimum term, the rental continues month by month.
How do I cancel?
You can cancel at any time to the end of the current month by email to renting@yataoshop.com.
Is the rent credited if I buy?
Yes. 100% of the rent you have paid – up to 6 monthly payments – is credited towards the purchase price of a new YataoPan at Yataoshop. This applies to every YataoPan, not just the D Kurd 13. Your credit remains valid for 2 months after the rental ends.
Are there any additional costs?
Only once: 40 € for insured shipping there and back and 20 € for the handpan care set (oil and microfibre cloth).
What if something gets damaged?
Normal signs of use are included in the rental. Damage such as dents or deep scratches that require a repair is not included. Please report any damage immediately to renting@yataoshop.com. Tip: check whether your personal liability insurance covers rented items.
What condition is the rental handpan in?
We distinguish three conditions: new, refurbished / checked and heavily used. Rental handpans always come from the middle tier: used instruments that we check before every rental, retune if necessary, clean and oil. Light signs of use do not affect the sound.
How does the return work?
Once you have cancelled, we will send you everything you need for the return. Return shipping is already covered by the one-time shipping fee.
