Octopan Handpan F Minor Pentatonic with Fitted Carry Bag

Byron Music proudly presents Octopan

Byron Music drum teacher, Ben Buckley, has spent his time over the last decade mastering the art of hand-crafting these exquisite handpans.

As a drummer, Ben wanted to expand his percussive expertise directly to a melodic instrument. He thought the handpan is the perfect cross between the rhythmic and musical worlds... They're built on scales, and you play in patterns, so you can't hit a wrong note.

We have a range of Octopans in stock.

 This is the F Minor Pentatonic Scale. The minor pentatonic is a five-note scale consisting of the root (1), b3, 4, 5, b7. A very easy scale to compose on and one of the most popular scales for hand pans.
