“After trying out the full size Isthmus handpan, I recently switched to the small size one, and I am very happy with it. Being a smaller woman, I was having trouble reaching all of the notes easily on the full size handpan. On this smaller one, I am so much more comfortable and have no issues trying to hit every note without trying to lean over uncomfortably. I usually play my smaller handpan on a snare drum stand, but it's also small enough to play comfortably on my lap. I also find it easier to play two notes together with one hand. I highly recommend it!”

“Wow, what an instrument! Jenny truly is a master of the craft, and a scheduled tour around her workshop shows just how much effort she puts in to the building, testing, and refining of her methods in making these wonderful, hand-made handpans. She was very accommodating and willing to share her knowledge and advice to me as a first-time buyer. I can assure you, the price tag is well worth the joy it will bring you as a musician while simultaneously supporting such a passionate, grassroots company making some truly stellar instruments. The nitrided finish of the steel and beautiful, resonant tones are stunning, and they reflect Jenny's passion as an artisan. I'll definitely be making future purchases from Isthmus.”
