Handpan, the music of the soul

Sounds in the silence at RoofTop54

The Handpan Drum, or simply Handpan, is a metal percussion instrument with an unmistakable round shape inspired by the ancient drums of different Caribbean cultures.

It is completely handmade. It is composed of two iron caps joined together to create a sound box with a central note called Ding.

On its surface there are 8 or 9 cavities of different sizes which, if beaten or simply touched with the fingers or the palm of the hand, emit sounds of different tones.

Thus, it is created a harmonic sound that is very pleasant to the ear which produces a magical attraction and an enigmatic and relaxing atmosphere. Listening to the Handpan and its vibrations leads to a pleasant feeling of well-being.

A form of individual recollection can be reached through meditation accompanied by the metallic notes of this instrument.

It is a mystical experience that leads to full self-awareness and perfect harmony with the outside world.

Handpan, the instrument that is played with the heart and listened with the soul, is only at our RoofTop54.
