If the RIZA series was where many players began their handpan story —
Then the YULA Handpan is where that story unfolds.
After years of testing, learning, and listening, we designed the YULA line for those who have already fallen in love with the sound of the handpan… and are ready to explore more.
Because once you’ve experienced your first handpan — that meditative, resonant voice of steel — something changes.
You start hearing new possibilities.
You want more notes, deeper bass tones, perhaps a double side to explore.
That curiosity is how the YULA series was born.
🎧 As you read, press play and feel the soothing voice of the YULA Handpan fill the space.
Built for Exploration
We’ve spent years testing and comparing handpans from makers around the world — from small European workshops to the finest Chinese artisans — and the truth is: great sound doesn’t have to come with a $5,000 price tag.
When I bought my first double-sided handpan from Europe, the landing cost in Australia was over $5,000 after shipping, customs, and GST.
It was worth it — but it also made me realise how many players would never get to experience this joy simply because of the price.
So we created YULA — to bring that same level of musical freedom to more people.
Each YULA handpan is carefully tuned by hand, offering exceptional tone stability, beautiful resonance, and balanced harmonics across both 440Hz and 432Hz tunings.
Sound That Inspires
The YULA series goes beyond the basics.
You’ll find richer scales, more notes, and double-sided options that let you move effortlessly between moods — from bright and uplifting to deep and meditative.
We wanted to capture that “wow” moment when you discover a new note combination you’ve never heard before —
and still keep it under $3,000.
In Australia, it’s almost impossible to find a double-sided handpan of this quality at this price — but we made it happen because we believe great sound should be shared, not gated.
A Perfect Start for Players with Higher Standards
If your budget is around $1,000 to $1,800, and you want your first handpan to be something truly special —
The YULA D Kurd 9-note and premium 10-note models are perfect.
They’re designed specifically for beginners who don’t want to compromise on quality, yet aren’t ready to spend $3,000 on a European-made pan.
The sound of a YULA handpan is in a completely different world from the basic entry-level handpans that cost a few hundred dollars —
The resonance, touch, vibration, and energy are instantly noticeable.
It’s the kind of sound that pulls you in, inspires you, and makes you want to play every day.
Designed to Inspire Confidence
Every YULA handpan is hand-tuned and individually tested before it leaves the workshop.
We focus on:
- Consistent tuning accuracy
- Stable overtones that don’t drift with time
- Smooth resonance and sustain that feels alive when you play
- Durable build quality that travels safely from the workshop to your hands
And because tone isn’t the only thing that matters, YULA handpans are also visually stunning — elegant finishes, subtle patterns, and a colour palette that feels both artistic and timeless.

🧡A Note from Tiffany (Founder of Melodic Forest)
“The handpan is one of the most magical instruments I’ve ever played — it connects sound, touch, and emotion in the purest way.
I hope the YULA line helps more people experience that sense of connection — to explore, to create, and to feel deeply inspired”
