#1 Rhythm Rest Handpan Grips
Playing the handpan requires stability and comfort to maintain focus and flow, and Rhythm Rest Handpan Grips are designed precisely for that. These are the only non-slip grips that attach directly to your handpan, keeping it secure on your lap without sliding.
Made from a dense neoprene and rubber hybrid on the outside for extra cushioning, and a flexible sheet magnet on the inside, these grips offer stability without scratching or leaving sticky residue. Their unique, magnetic design makes them easy to apply, remove, or transfer between instruments. By forming a secure ring under the handpan, Rhythm Rest Grips enhance comfort and stability, letting you play confidently in any outfit—even with direct skin contact. With an 8-inch diameter and a 5-inch opening, they add comfort, minimize slipping, and allow for a fully immersive handpan experience. Plus they protect your port from scratches so you can set your instrument down anywhere without worrying!
#2 Sounds Inspiring Pocket Floor Stand

The Pocket Floor Stand is specifically designed for floor use, giving handpan players a stable, low-to-the-ground setup that’s perfect for playing seated on a cushion or directly on the floor. It’s also great for displaying your handpan when not in use! Weighing just under half a kilo and folding down to an ultra-compact 23cm x 10cm x 6cm, this stand is easy to carry in your bag—or even a large pocket.
The built-in elastic cord holds it securely open or closed without any latches to adjust. While it’s ideal for floor playing, you can also place it on a table for a makeshift standing-height setup, though it’s primarily designed for floor use.

Packaged in a sleek bottle with a pleasant scent, UFO Polish is the perfect companion for any handpan player, whether at home or on the go!

#5 Retractable Travel Stool
This sturdy, portable stool is perfect for handpan players on the go, especially if you’re playing gigs or even setting up to busk. It’s super lightweight—only about 2.5 pounds—and easily collapses into a compact size that fits neatly in your bag or even hangs over your shoulder with its adjustable strap. And the best part? This stool is fully height adjustable, so you can set it up for whatever height is most comfortable. Plus, it’s designed to hold up to 400 pounds and has a special locking mechanism to prevent it from accidentally popping open while you’re on the move.
