The Next Level - Intermediate Grooves and Fills

When you purchase an individual course, you'll have lifetime access to that specific course. However, with a Planet Handpan Premium membership, you'll gain access to our entire catalog, including the Learning Lab, Rhythm Vault, and Groove Engine, for a monthly or annual fee. Keep in mind, though, that if you cancel your subscription, you’ll lose access to all content.

No, the Rhythm Vault and Groove Engine packs are sold separately. However, if you subscribe to a Premium plan, you'll have full access to all Planet Handpan content as part of your membership.

Don’t worry—our material on Planet Handpan is designed to work with any key or design of handpan. All exercises, grooves, and songs are pattern-based rather than pitch-specific. Even if your handpan is in a different key, you can still play along with all the material using the transpose function in the Groove Engine.

Nope! All courses on Planet Handpan use Louis Notation, a simplified handpan tablature system that's easy to follow.

Generally, no. Handpans are diatonic instruments like the harmonica or certain flutes meaning that they primarily only play in one key. However, pairing multiple handpans can allow you to play chromatically.

Indeed, not all handpans are created equally. While it may be tempting to buy a knock-off handpan online most of these instruments are not built or tuned correctly and will either sound out of tune out of the box or may fall out of tune quickly due to cut corners in the building process. Rest assured every handpan sold through Planet Handpan has been individually vetted for quality and are instruments we are proud to play ourselves. Learn more here.

At this moment in time, no, we do not offer handpans tuned to the A = 432hz system.

Yes and no. The videos listed on the Planet Handpan marketplace were filmed on the initial round of handpans sent to Planet Handpan and are representative of the handpan you will receive. While all of our builder partners build with an extreme level of consistency and attention to detail there may be slight variances in the finish or sound of your handpan as it is impossible to replicate the exact handpan twice. With that said, if you would like a video of the exact handpan you will be receiving just send us a message and we will be happy to provide you with that! If a handpan is listed as a "Limited Time Offer" and it is shipping directly from Planet Handpan Studios then, yes, the video listed is the video of the exact handpan you will be receiving.
