Our Story: A New Vision for Handpans

A Solution for Every Player
Drift Handpans was founded to address the growing need for affordable, beginner-friendly handpans that make it easy for anyone to explore music without compromise. After years of creating handcrafted instruments for Isthmus Instruments, we recognized a gap—many aspiring musicians were seeking quality handpans but faced barriers due to high prices or the unwieldy size of traditional models.

With Drift Handpans, we’ve combined advanced USA manufacturing processes with a commitment to accessible quality. We source and build handpans that meet exacting standards at a competitive price. Our mission is simple: to help people discover their sound and drift into music in a way that feels natural, joyful, and unencumbered.
