About the Handpan:
Rarely have we had such resonant and mature handpans in our hands. The Svaraa Handpans are made with the pursuit of highly resonant instruments that sing poetic stories. Made in Dheli, Svaraa Handpans are the highest quality handpans from India. They have a magical and mystical aura. The sound is particularly touching and invites both players and listeners to immerse themselves in another world.
These Svaraa Handpans are extremely well-balanced and professional musical instruments that are ideal for studio recordings and concerts. Due to their easy and versatile playability, they are of course equally suitable for ambitious beginners as well as experienced handpan players.
Read the story of Abhinav Dheodar, the tuner and developer behind the Svaraa Handpans, beneath "About the manufacturer".
Svaraa Handpans made of Embersteel:
For the production of the Svaraa stainless steel instruments, Abhinav Dheodar Ayasa uses bowls made of Embersteel - a special type of stainless steel. These are particularly resonant and fine in sound. The long resonance provides a strong overtone richness and makes the whole instrument sing. This creates a versatile carpet of sound that is particularly inviting for melodic, meditative playing. This extremely mystical, spherical sound allows the player to dive into other spheres and can lead to trance-like states.
Svaraa Handpans made of nitrated Ayasa Shells:
Ayasa shells are used for the nitrated Svaraa handpans. In the handpan scene, these are considered the best basic material for making instruments from nitrided steel.
Nitrided steel is a heat-treated steel sheet into which nitrogen has been introduced. Nitrogen ensures that the stiffness of the material is increased to make it harder and more stable to the strokes. This increases the tuning stability of the handpan and the player can enjoy the instrument longer until it needs to be retuned. This type of material is first used for making hangs by PanArt and then further developed by handpan, pantam and sound sculpture makers.
Although handpans are nowadays made of both nitrided steel and stainless steel, nitrided steel, the original material of the first handpans, still seems to have the greater demand among handpan enthusiasts. This type of material offers a medium sustain range, more ceramic and clay sound and high frequencies in the notes, which makes it good for outdoor playing. In addition, notes have a clearer and more separated sound, which optimises nitrided steel KitaPantams for faster and more professional playing.
Custom-made Extended Handpans & Low Scales:
Abhinav Dheodar is one of the most versatile and experienced handpan makers in the world. He is one of the few instrument makers who have also perfected the construction of complex instruments with up to 21 pitches and very low tunings with fundamental notes of E2, F#2 or F2. We cannot make his whole range and variety of possible instruments visible in our online store. If you are interested in his extended handpans or very low tunings, write us a separate request.
The process of making these special instruments is much more time-consuming and risky than with ordinary handpans. The production can therefore take up to three months and is much more cost-intensive than conventional tunings.
About the manufacturer
Hello dear handpan enthusiasts, I am Abhinav Dheodar - tuner and developer of Svaraa Handpans. Here I would like to tell you my story.
On my musical journey, the art of handpan building chose me and never let go. Fascinated by the simplicity of construction and the dynamic, complex sound of the handpan/pantam, I strive to build the most resonant instruments possible. It is more than a passion, it has become a way of life.
I got to know hang and handpans in 2008. Learning to build handpans is a long and rocky road that demands a lot. But I never gave up and kept experimenting with the craft. It took five and a half years and numerous setbacks to hold the first perfect handpan in my hands. That was a special moment that still marks me today and shows me that dedication, passion and perseverance can create something special.
During my apprenticeship I researched extensively to deepen my understanding of materials, tuning, metal craftsmanship and much more. I was fortunate to spend very valuable time with and learn from some of the best handpan/pantam makers in the world in Russia, France, the Netherlands and the USA. It has been a very long learning process and every day I learn something new about steel and its sound.
Today, my biggest goal is to create the warmest and most sonorous instruments that can deeply touch a player and a listener alike.
