Why are Soma’s not called “Hang (Drum)” but Handpan?

“Hang” is a registered trademark of PANart Hangbau AG. It is a legally protected brand name. If you are interested in a Hang Sound Sculpture, please contact PANart AG.

We do not call our instruments “drums” as they are not only played differently but also function very distinctly from a physical/ technical point of view.
