Handpan Studio Amsterdam was founded by the duo of Deniz Kavafoglu and Joris Cohen. Their collaboration was born from a shared passion for the handpan, and in addition to working together, quickly grew into a close friendship from which many fine performances have blossomed.

More than eight years ago, the two gentlemen, then without any musical background, began their handpan journey. What initially started out of curiosity about this particular instrument quickly grew into a valuable hobby that enriched their lives.
