Isthmus Instruments, LLC 815 Walsh Road, Madison, WI 53714

"My experience with Isthmus was nothing short of amazing. I visited their workshop try out some scales and see their workshop. Robert had a few scales set up for me to try. Being a beginner player, I wasn't sure which scale was right, but sure enough there was a handpan that just clicked and I ended up leaving with it. Their instruments sound BEAUTIFUL, and customer service is great. I highly highly recommend them!"

"I never held a Handpan before I buy my own. I am very specific when it comes to instruments. I researched over a year to find the perfect place to buy my very first Handpan and I couldn't be happier with my purchase. Not only the quality of the Handpan is great, the customer service you receive makes you feel so special. It is very nice of Jenny to contact her customers directly to make sure that they are happy with their instruments. Shout out to Jenny and her team! Don't think twice. Go ahead and buy your Handpan knowing that it's going to be what you always had in mind and expected!"

"Embarking on my musical journey, the RAV Vast instruments have been my companions for years, yet stepping into the realm of handpans has opened a new chapter. My heart settled on a custom D Celtic scale, enriched with four harmonious notes at the base—each one a whisper of the ancient tales and serene landscapes that inspire me. The choice of Isthmus Instruments wasn't by chance; their roots in the heartland of the Midwest mirror my own in Ohio, their leadership fiercely female, and their dedication to craftsmanship shines as brightly as the passion that fuels my music. The decision to have my brand logo laser-etched onto the ding was made with a mix of excitement and anticipation. The result? Simply breathtaking. Not only does my custom Isthmus handpan present a feast for the eyes, its sound transcends the ordinary, turning each note into an echo of the soul. From the first touch to the last note, my journey with Isthmus Instruments was seamless, marked by their unwavering support and expert guidance. For those who believe, as I do, that the essence of music lies in the quality of its creation and the purity of its sound, and not merely in the cost—your search ends here. Isthmus Instruments doesn't just craft handpans; they forge experiences, memories, and connections. Highly recommended isn't sufficient; I find myself compelled to sing their praises to all who cherish musical excellence."

"My husband, daughter and I spent hours researching handpans prior to purchasing the C aeolian. The instrument is beautiful and the sound enchanting. This is a brilliantly and lovingly crafted instrument which is worth every penny. We wanted to purchase our handpan from a reputable company so we could have the instrument retuned by the maker. We trusted that, with over a decade in business, our hand-crafted instrument was going to be of very high quality. We were not disappointed! Jenny has been wonderful to work with and extremely responsive to all my inquiries. If you are looking for a high quality instrument made in the US by a knowledgeable, conscientious and gifted creator look no further! If you plan to travel around with your handpan I highly recommend the hard case which is also very well made. It feels indestructible and I am confident it will keep our treasure safe from damage."

"What an incredible experience it was, working with and purchasing a handpan from Isthmus Instruments! From the initial email communications, to visiting the shop and picking out which scale I wanted, it was a very special, positive and memorable experience. The quality is great, and you can tell how talented, knowledgeable and passionate their whole team is. It was well worth the road trip from Michigan!"
