FROM THE WORKSHOP
Michael's Notes
What I appreciate most about the AnnaZiska is its elegance. It never feels forced or overly dramatic Instead, it invites a more nuanced kind of expression. This sound model has a quiet beauty that continues to inspire me as a maker.
​
When tuning this sound model, I listen for sweetness in the upper register and a smooth, singing quality across the entire instrument. Striving to create an instrument that feels effortless while retaining depth and emotional richness.
​​​
My goal with every Mountain Man Handpan is to create an instrument that becomes a lifelong companion rather than simply an object to own.
