Handpanion Winter Update: New Music, New Makers & a Growing Community

Handpanion Winter Update: New Music, New Makers & a Growing Community

It’s been a busy few weeks behind the scenes — updating creator pages with video interviews, adding new products, and continuing to build the Handpanion ecosystem one small step at a time. Today I’m sharing three special additions now available on the site: a signed CD from Mar Loi, handmade Pan Shaker pendants by Sam Allen, and a new collection of upcycled handpan T-shirts from Amy Naylor.

🎶 New Release: Mar Loi — Arrels (Exclusive Signed CD)

Three sealed copies of Mar Loi’s “Arrels” CD next to an open signed copy showing the disc and inner artwork.

Arrels is Mar Loi’s 2025 album, available on Handpanion as an exclusive signed CD.

This edition offers a personal connection to Mar Loi’s work, with each copy individually signed.

The album features ten expressive pieces shaped around themes of identity, grounding, and quiet reflection. If you enjoyed her Handpan Voices interview, this is a beautiful way to support her artistry and have her music in physical form.

✨ Sam Allen — Handmade Pan Shaker Pendants

These hand-made Pan Shaker pendants are both jewellery and instrument.

Each one is crafted by Sam Allen using custom tools designed by her father, an engineer at Lotus Sports Cars. The result is a lightweight pendant with a gentle shaker sound that pairs beautifully with handpan playing.

Every piece is handmade, and no two are identical. They also make thoughtful gifts for handpan players.

👕 Amy Naylor — Upcycled Handpan T-Shirts

Amy sources second-hand shirts, refreshes them, and prints her own handpan-inspired designs onto each one. Every shirt is completely unique — upcycled, sustainable, and produced in small quantities.

Once a design sells, that exact piece isn’t repeated, making each one a one-off item.

🎧 Handpan Voices Updates

All creator pages on Handpanion now include their full Handpan Voices interview videos. This brings together the products, the stories, and the artists behind them in one place — something I’ve wanted to do for a long time.

More interviews and collaborations are already in motion.

Thank You

Handpanion is still young, and every bit of support genuinely helps. Whether you’ve bought a product, messaged me, shared a link, or simply followed the journey, thank you for being here at the beginning.

 

Wishing you a peaceful and creative winter,

Phil
