Chaya® handpan Google Review Boudine van Slobbe:

"I really love the Chaya handpan. For a few years now, I have been an endorser and have played it at performances with Slagerij Van Kampen, at Ecstatic Dance Events, and Sound Healings. But also, just at home. It's a robust handpan on which you can play very sensitively and meditatively but also percussively. You can really rock out with it, which I really like. So, I always carry it with me everywhere, and it stays in perfect condition. It's really a great handpan that I'm still very happy with."
