Hello, I’m Loris Lombardo, a musician, handpan teacher and professional handpan maker. In this article I want to help you make the right choice if you are planning to buy your first handpan.
Here I answer the most common questions people ask before buying a handpan online.
1. Should I buy a handpan near where I live?
Many people search online:“where can I buy a handpan near me” or “handpan shop near me.”
However, when choosing a handpan, the most important thing is not the distance, but the quality of the instrument and the sound that inspires you the most.
Today, the internet allows you to listen to many instruments through videos, but you must be careful:not all handpan videos online are reliable.
I have met many people who bought a handpan after watching a video, and when the instrument arrived, the sound was completely different.
This is why it is important to buy from a professional handpan maker who publishes real and authentic videos.
2. Is it safe to buy a handpan online?
One of the most common questions is:“Is it safe to buy a handpan online?”
The answer is yes — but only if you choose a serious and professional company.
With Lombardo Handpan, every instrument is:
carefully checked before shipping
professionally packed in a protective wooden box
shipped with full insurance
covered by a lifetime warranty
This means you can safely buy a handpan even if you live in another country.
3. Does a handpan stay in tune over time?
Many people search:“does a handpan lose tuning?”or“does a handpan need retuning?”
Our instruments are designed to stay in tune for many years, as long as they are played and maintained correctly.
However, if the instrument falls or gets damaged, we offer a professional handpan repair service.
If needed:
we organize the pickup
we repair the instrument in our workshop
we send it back to you as quickly as possible
4. Is it better to buy a handpan from a shop or directly from the maker?
Many people think buying from a music shop is the best option.In reality, most shops do not build the instruments themselves.
That means you are buying from a reseller, not directly from the maker.
The best choice is always to buy from a professional handpan maker, because:
you get direct support
you can ask questions about the instrument
you receive a real warranty
you get a handmade instrument built with care
Final Thoughts: where should you buy a handpan?
Don’t worry if the maker is far from you.The only thing that matters is choosing a reliable and professional handpan maker.
