Israeli musician Liron Man will play handpan at Old Heaven Bookstore.

    Handpan is a term for a group of musical instruments resulting from a growing worldwide interest in the Hang, an instrument invented and built by the company PANArt Hangbau AG. This instrument first appeared in the fall of 2007 on the website of an American steelpan producer Pantheon Steel. It was used to describe its own development of a new instrument that was launched as an alternative to the Hang.

    Early instruments that are generally included by the term handpan were caisa (2007), BElls (2009), halo (2009) and spacedrum (2009). Today, a lot of handpan builders are offering instruments with widely differing quality on the handpan market.
