Our most popular handpans often sell out and can stay on pre-order for a long time, because each instrument is handcrafted in small batches.
How to place a pre-order
If a handpan is not in stock, you can simply place your pre-order directly on the product page by adding it to your cart and completing your checkout.
Pre-ordering reserves your handpan
Pre-ordering is the best way to secure your handpan. The expected shipping date shown on the product page when you place your order is the date we expect to ship your handpan.
The expected shipping date
This is not a general back-in-stock date. It is the expected shipping date for new orders placed at that moment. Because some handpans receive a high number of pre-orders, newly finished instruments may already be reserved before they become available for immediate shipment. This means the expected shipping date can move further out over time as more pre-orders come in.
The back-in-stock email is only a notification
Joining the email list lets you know when your handpan comes available for immediate shipment again. It does not reserve an instrument. Depending on demand, this may take weeks, months, or in some cases the handpan may remain on pre-order for an extended period.
Order with confidence
Your 30-day return period and 2 year tuning guarantee starts from the day your handpan is delivered.
Shipping & Delivery
Orders in stock are shipped within 24 hours. Estimated delivery times:
- United Kingdom: 3-5 business days
- Germany & France: 2-4 business days
- Rest of Europe: 3-5 business days
- Worldwide: 4-14 business days
We always try our best to ensure your order arrives as quickly as possible.
Returns & Exchanges
- We offer a 30-day return period from the day you receive your instrument.
- If you’re not fully satisfied, you can return or exchange your order for a full refund or another item.
- For pre-orders, the 30-day period starts once you receive your handpan.
Customer happiness is our priority — please contact us anytime for help with returns or exchanges.

Discover The Sound Of True Craftmanship
Every instrument is handcrafted in our workshop in Bali.
Is the Essential Series good for beginners?
Yes, the Essential Series Handpan is a great choice for beginners. Its 53 cm size offers the classic handpan playing experience while still feeling easy and comfortable to play. For most beginners, 10 notes is a great place to start, giving you more melodic freedom while still keeping the instrument easy to play.
For beginners, the most popular and versatile choice is the D Minor Kurd (D Kurd 10). It has a wide emotional range, from meditative and melancholic to uplifting and joyful. All notes harmonize beautifully, so you can intuitively play without worrying about mistakes.
If you don’t have a strong preference yet, D Minor Kurd is a safe and inspiring choice. Other scales, like F Pygmy or Ashakiran scales are also beginner-friendly. Ultimately, the right handpan is the one that moves you most. Listen to the sound samples and choose the one that resonates with you.
Our handpans are built to last. With normal use, they stay perfectly in tune for 3–7+ years before needing any retuning. If a note ever drifts, simply contact us and we’ll retune it for you.
Every instrument comes with a 2-year tuning warranty: if anything happens during normal use, we’ll fix it free of charge. Even after the warranty, you can always send it back for retuning at a fair price. This way, you can buy with complete peace of mind.
Not at all! Because all notes belong to the same scale, they sound nice together. You don’t need any prior musical background to create beautiful melodies.
Most beginners can play simple rhythms within days. With practice, you’ll quickly discover more patterns and techniques. To support your journey, every handpan includes free lifetime access to the Master the Handpan course: over 70 step-by-step video lessons. This makes learning fun and accessible at your own pace.
When you order a LIDAH handpan, you don’t just receive an instrument, you receive a complete package to start your journey right away:
- Your handcrafted LIDAH handpan
- Free lifetime access to Master the Handpan (70+ online lessons)
- Padded handpan bag for safe storage and effortless transport
