Service & Maintenance
To keep your instrument happy - service it regularly, keep it dry and wipe it off after each and every
handling. Protective oil can be gently rubbed into the steel, however, with time, buildup can occur and
it will affect the sound of HandPan. Use small amount and remove any excess and make sure not to press on notes.

Once in a while we would recommend to clean surface of instrument with an alcohol solution - to remove any build-up and to prevent rusting. Avoid harsh temperature changes and damage like dropping, excessive banging or applying pressure on playing surface.

Always use an appropriate case for transportation and do not leave instrument unattended. Do not store your instrument in a closed bag overnight and for prolonged periods. Allow some air flow. It can trap moisture and advance corrosion and also can affect glue quality and sound.
