HandPans
crafted by Mark Wilson
in Devon, UK
A journey shaped by sound
PanStream was born from a lifelong obsession with sound, craft, and the pursuit of musical clarity.
At the heart of it is Mark – a maker, tuner, and unapologetic perfectionist when it comes to sound. If the tuning isn’t right, if the resonance doesn’t sing, the instrument simply doesn’t leave the workshop.
In the early days, this dedication meant frequent trips to the scrapyard, unloading prototype pans that didn’t pass his own exacting standards. It wasn’t a waste – it was learning, refining, and listening.
A Sound Shaped by Tradition
Mark’s working process is deeply influenced by traditional SteelPan techniques – shaping metal by hand, carefully tuning each note, and listening closely to how the instrument breathes. This approach is what gives PanStream instruments their distinctive voice: rich resonance, long sustain, and exceptional clarity.
Every player is different, so we offer a range of instruments designed for different styles, needs, and levels — from accessible beginner HandPans to professional builds, compact travel instruments, and fully custom creations.
