the handpan may become illegal, but we can still prevent this to happen.
for over five years, a legal battle has been unfolding that could decide the future of our instrument. the company that created the original hang® claims copyright over the handpan’s basic shape - its dome, layout, and even its circular form.
if they succeed, makers around the world could lose the right to build or sell handpans entirely.
we tried to find a peaceful and respectful solution with the other party - through open dialogue and mutual understanding. unfortunately, those efforts were not successful, leaving us no choice but to continue this fight in court to save the handpan as we know it.
after years of hearings, research and over €1.1 million in legal costs, the final decision is approaching.
we created a crowdfunding to protect the freedom of the handpan. every contribution helps us continue the legal fight, cover essential costs and keep this instrument - and the creativity it inspires - alive for generations to come.
this is bigger than an instrument. it’s about protecting creativity, connection, and the sound that heals.
we can’t do this alone - we need your help to keep the handpan alive.

What a beautiful day it was 💫 Our very first Malte Marten Method Handpan School opened its doors in Bochum, guided with so much heart by our certified teachers @warren_shanti and @hangala_music from @the_handpan_paradise.
It was a day full of connection, music, and inspiration. People meeting for the first time, sharing sounds, exploring the space, and simply enjoying the spirit of the handpan community.
We’re deeply grateful to everyone who came by, to our teachers and community members for their support, and to all the new faces who are just beginning their journey with the handpan. ✨
This marks an important step for us and we’re excited to guide and support more teachers in opening their own MMM Handpan Schools in the future. Here’s to growing, learning, and sharing music together. 💛
If you’ve ever dreamed of teaching the handpan yourself, the next round of our Teacher Training is starting soon. Learn more and book your Discovery Call via the link in bio. 🔗
