How drops work
1 · We build

2 · You hear it
When a small batch is ready, every instrument is filmed individually. What you hear is exactly what you get.
3 · It ships to you
The one you chose is packed in its hardcase and shipped the next business day. Insured and tracked.

Duarte has been building handpans in Portugal since 2015 — the first maker in the country. A decade of hammering, listening, and refining has placed our instruments among the finest in the world in both sound and structure. We research and develop continuously, contributing to the evolution of the instrument itself, and every advance ends up in the handpans we release through our monthly drops.
We also service what we build — and what others build: our workshop retunes and repairs handpans of any brand, any steel.
Debussy - Clair de Lune - Handpan
"I Bought a Dugimago Ember and I was really pleased. The material is very good, magical sound and an excellent sustain. Duarte is also immensely attentive and has a great passion and expertise in the art of handpan making. I Recommend!"

Our services
Repair Shop
Whether you have a top shelf instrument or a sculpture from a craftsman who just started, a handpan with notes in the 2nd octave or a pantam with notes on the 6th octave, made in nitrided steel, raw steel, inox, chromed, or any other material, we are able to retune your instrument, and commit to do it with the most professional and detailed level. We have a wide experience in retuning and repairing damaged or simply out of tune sound sculptures from different levels of building and brands.
Personalized orders
As a tailor can materialize a cloth drawing so we can materialize the handpan you imagine for yourself. If you already have a handpan designed your way or you'd like a scale that you can't find in our shop, or if you come up with a scale of your own we can make your thoughts come true. We are able to make virtually any scale from F2 to D6 and do it with professional and top shelf level. So tell us about your idea and we give you our professional advice on such, and a quotation so you can make your dreams come true.
