The handpan is an amazing instrument that can be used in a variety of ways. It’s also something that many people might not know how to take care of properly, so here are some tips on how to clean and upgrade your handpan.
1. Cleaning a handpan with a microfiber cloth
Handpans are made of steel, which means they can be easily scratched if you’re not careful when cleaning them. To avoid this, use only soft and dry cloths when wiping down your instrument.

2. Using a dryer sheet to remove dust from the surface
Dryer sheets are cheap and easy to find, so they’re perfect for those who don’t want to spend money on expensive cleaning products. They’re also safe for all handpans, so you don’t have to worry about damaging your instrument with harsh chemicals or abrasives!
3. Covering your handpan case with leather or suede
If you have a handpan, then chances are you’ve probably spent quite a bit of money on it. And if you’re anything like me, then there’s no way that I would ever want to risk damaging my instrument in any way. That’s why I recommend covering your handpan case with leather or suede! Both materials are durable and easy to clean (just wipe off dirt), so they will protect your expensive instrument from scratches and scuffs while also making it look super fancy! Plus: both materials come in tons of colors!
4. Using a quality leather strap
Leather straps are more comfortable to hold. The leather makes it easier to adjust, and the strap is also more durable than nylon. If you’re looking for a handpan that’s easy on your hands, then look no further than this awesome hack!
5. Making your own carrying bag for your handpan
If you’re looking to carry your handpan on the go and don’t want to buy an expensive case, there are plenty of options available. You can use a backpack or duffel bag if you don’t mind having it hang off one shoulder. If that doesn’t appeal to you, try using a guitar case the design is similar enough that it should work just fine! If none of these options work out for you (or if they do), why not make your own custom bag? Handpans are light so no matter what kind of fabric or material goes into making them up as a whole unit, they shouldn’t weigh much more than ten pounds at most making them easy enough to carry around without any extra equipment needed beyond what’s already been discussed here today!
You can clean, upgrade and customize your handpan easily
Handpans are easy to clean, but you need to be careful when cleaning the inside. The soundboard is easily damaged if you use too much water or soap while cleaning it. If your handpan has a wooden soundboard, make sure not to use any chemicals or cleaners on it!
If you want to upgrade your current handpan with a new strap or case, this can be done easily by yourself at home. You only need some basic tools and materials such as screws/bolts, wire cutters/strippers (if applicable), pliers or clippers for cutting straps etc. The best thing about upgrading yourself is that it’s cheap!
