Sirvan Sadeghi
Sirvan Handpan
Hi, I’m Sirvan, originally from Iran and based in Bali for the past four years. I am the founder of Sirvan Handpan and run two dedicated handpan shops in Bali. My journey with handpans began in 2014, shaped by a deep sensitivity to sound and my background as an automotive sound engineer. I am a self-taught player and maker. Since 2016, I have shared this work through workshops and community gatherings, offering the handpan as both a musical and meditative experience. For the past six years, I have focused on crafting high-quality handpans with an emphasis on sound, precision, and expression. At festivals, I create interactive spaces where people can experience, play, and connect with the instrument through live performance and hands-on sessions. I would be honored to be part of Bali handpan festival and contribute to its spirit of connection and creativity.

Yoga Swara Handpans
Om Swastiastu! My name is Yoga Swara. I have a deep bond with the music. I have played music since childhood, mainly percussion and traditional Balinese instruments and have worked as a percussion instruments maker for the last twenty years. I started my drum maker journey with djembe and darbuka and came across with the first handpan in Bali and its soothing melodic sound back in 2007. I am happy that the handpan industry is growing, and now I have access to better materials like stainless steel and to many learning resources. I believe that the quality of handpan depends on the patient factor and a maker’s desire to achieve better quality and sound than before. Until now I keep using only manual techniques and the same tools, but looking back to my first handpan and the one I make today I can tell - it was quite a journey! I am glad we can meet each other at the Handpan Festival and share the joy of music together. Suksma!
