NamiPan D Sabye / Ashakiran Embersteel

The Nami handpans contain the power of the ocean and the east wind. These special musical instruments are born on the cliffs of an island in the Atlantic Ocean. Each instrument is created under the influence of the elements and in harmony with nature. The harmony of the rolling waves of the sea flows into the sound of these instruments just as much as the whispering of the wind. The sounds of the Nami handpans invite you to surf on them and melt into the melody. The sound of handpans promotes concentration, mental relaxation, strengthens the immune system and creates a wonderful feeling of joy and well-being.

The sea gives the sound artist Daniele new inspiration every day, which he incorporates into the construction of the handpans.

Nami Handpans from Ember Steel:
The extremely long reverberation brings with it an extreme richness of overtones. These handpans are probably the instruments with the most sustain that we know of. The more pronounced crosstalking effects make the whole instrument seem to sing along. This creates a versatile carpet of sound that is particularly inviting for slower, meditative playing. This extremely mystical, spherical sound lets the player dive into other spheres and can lead to trance-like states. The handpan gloves provided can be used to reduce the sustain and the extreme richness of overtones a little and also make medium-fast playing possible.

The Nami handpans are made of both nitrided steel and ember steel of the highest quality. Custom-made handpans with special tunings or with additional tone fields on the bottom are possible after consultation with us.

The sea gives sound artist Daniele new inspiration every day, which he incorporates into the construction of the handpans. Daniele devotes himself passionately to each of his hand-made handpans. Each musical instrument is formed in a pure and unique way from the work of skilled hands. These handpans are born on cliffs in the middle of the Atlantic in a caravan workshop - formed in the rhythm of the ocean waves, whose power and spirit are woven into the sound. This creates a clean and mysterious sound, whose wave-like vibration brings the vegetative system into harmonious harmony. The Nami handpans contain freedom, wildness and the pure power of nature.

This is how Daniele describes his work as a tuner:
The handpan is a series of experiences, trials and errors, but above all tenacity, which serve to achieve quality sound results. Personal craftsmanship serves to give life to a unique and unrepeatable instrument on each occasion. To immerse yourself in the creation process, it is necessary to be calm and concentrated so that each blow of the hammer is directed towards the search for sound. Passion and love for our instruments allow us to guarantee, after many years, an extremely satisfactory result for beginners and professionals.
