FROM THE WORKSHOP
Michael's Notes
The F Pygmy was one of the sound models that first captured my imagination when I began building handpans. Every time I sit down with one, I discover something new. It has a way of slowing down time and inviting deeper listening.
​
My goal with every Mountain Man Handpan is to create an instrument that becomes a lifelong companion rather than simply an object to own.
