“Wow, what an instrument! Jenny truly is a master of the craft, and a scheduled tour around her workshop shows just how much effort she puts in to the building, testing, and refining of her methods in making these wonderful, hand-made handpans. She was very accommodating and willing to share her knowledge and advice to me as a first-time buyer. I can assure you, the price tag is well worth the joy it will bring you as a musician while simultaneously supporting such a passionate, grassroots company making some truly stellar instruments. The nitrided finish of the steel and beautiful, resonant tones are stunning, and they reflect Jenny's passion as an artisan. I'll definitely be making future purchases from Isthmus.”

“Outstanding experience from beginning to end. The whole process was attentive, professional, prompt and flawless. I just purchased 2 B-Ursa handpans and the craftsmanship is fabulous. It was clear from the first playing that Jenny and her team poured their passion and expertise into building and tuning these instruments. They sound amazing, individually and together. I couldn't be happier.”

“I can't express how impressed I am with Isthmus. Everything about them is solid. The handpan is truly a quality instrument with beautiful detail, tone and craftsmanship. The follow-up after purchase has been kind and supportive. If you are on the fence about buying a handpan, go for it...you will certainly be pleased.”

“Have you ever received something that turned out to be far more incredible than you ever anticipated? The C Aegean Isthmus handpan totally falls into that category for me. The instrument is a real piece of art that’s made with exquisite craftsmanship. I can’t describe the meditative feeling I get while playing it. I just kind of zone out and get caught up in the music and tones. I sincerely cannot find a negative to this joyful addition to my home. If I’m not playing it, my ten year old son is playing it. I think this is by far one of the best purchases I’ve made in a very long time. I wish I could find the words to describe how much I love my Isthmus handpan, but words just don’t do it justice.”
