About us

Our story

My name is Eliseo. My journey into the world of the handpan began in 2012. The first time I saw this instrument, I was captivated by its beautiful sound. After a long wait, I finally bought my first handpan and, at the same time, I decided to try building one myself. Coming from a family of blacksmiths and musicians, I enthusiastically embraced this adventure, immediately becoming passionate about the art of handpan making and tuning.
At a time when it was difficult to find information on the building process, creating an instrument with a harmonious sound was a challenge that required patience and dedication: countless hours spent hammering to understand the behavior of the metal. It took over two years of studying materials, shaping, and tuning before I was able to craft an instrument that sounded satisfying.
Over time, I experimented with various materials and sculpting techniques, while, at the same time, refining my musical skills, until I founded Alchemy Handpan. The project also includes Laura, a pianist and handpan player, whose musical background has made a significant contribution to our research.

At Alchemy Handpan, we believe that sound has the power to enhance people’s lives.
That’s why we pour all of our passion into creating unique instruments designed to inspire positivity and energy.
