A 15-note hybrid drum that combines the features of a handpan and a tongue drum. The titanium-steel playing surface, finished in bright white and decorated with a stylised excerpt from the Heart Sutra, pairs with a deep green birch wood base for a warm, resonant tone. Its hybrid design blends the melodic clarity of a tongue drum with the depth and projection of a handpan. The wooden stop at the bottom can be removed for more pronounced overtones.

The Heart Sutra Also known as the Prajñāpāramitāhṛdaya, the Heart Sutra is one of the most important texts in Mahayana Buddhism. It's a concise teaching on emptiness and the interconnectedness of all things. Traditionally, the lack of inherent existence is often explained by using sound as an example.
