Craftmanship
At Nala, we believe that the soul of music lies in the hands of the artisan. With painstaking attention to detail and a passion for the auditory arts, our skilled craftsmen meticulously sculpt each instrument to not just produce sound, but to awaken the very essence of music itself.
1. Material Selection
It all begins with the careful selection of high-quality steel sheets, chosen for their resonance and durability.
The type of steel sets the stage for the instrument’s sound, ensuring it resonates with clarity and richness.
2. Sheet Preparation
The selected steel sheets are transformed into the precise shapes that will form the top and bottom shells of the handpan.
Every cut must be exact, laying the groundwork for the instrument’s structural integrity.
3. Shaping and Forming
Hydraulic or manual presses are used to shape the steel, giving birth to the basic structure of the Handpan.
This step requires skill and finesse as artisans coax the steel into its signature shape.
4. Tuning
As the Handpan takes shape, a new journey starts. The tuning process.
Artisans carefully hammer the steel to create the distinct notes, crafting the instrument’s unique voice.
5. Fine-Tuning
Crafting a handpan is not just a mechanical process; it’s a labor of love. Each instrument is played and fine-tuned by artisans with exceptional ears.
This is where the handpan truly comes alive, as artisans adjust and perfect every note to ensure a harmonious masterpiece.
