A Mudra is a symbolic or ritualistic gesture performed by the fingers, hands, and/or body. It is a spiritual movement that acts as a seal. We believe that playing the Handpan is a way to connect the mind, body, and soul with something greater than ourselves, much like a Mudra.

Our story
I’m glad that I discovered the instruments of Mudra, instruments that gave me the chance to discover and express my inner universe.
Gabriel Balasa @balasa_percussion
The Mudra Handpan embodies more than just an instrument; it resonates with the love infused into its very creation, resulting in a warm, enveloping sound that is crystal clear. Having played handpan for over 12 years, I can confidently say these instruments hold a special place in my heart. They’re more than just musical tools; they’re companions on a journey of sonic exploration. Working on scales with Rafa is a breeze. It’s not only enjoyable but also straightforward to collaborate with him, making the process smooth and efficient. Rafa does an incredibly great job, and I genuinely enjoy working with him.

My love for the Mudra Handpan started even before I got to play one! Only from listening to videos I could tell that they are fantastic! Then a dream came true when I received my own customized Mudra Handpan. I can feel the love and dedication which is put into these magnificent instruments! The quality, the precision, the timbre and the overall clean and warm sound is really what I am looking for in a handpan! Mudra Handpan are definitely one of the few manufacturers that I would always go with, no matter how many notes or what scale I would choose. It’s an honor to explore my innermost feelings through these lovely soundsculptures!

I am very grateful to the Mudra Workshop for the realization of my old dream. I always wanted to have an extended Aegean scale. This instrument gave me a lot of opportunities, not only because of beautiful harmony possibilities, but because of very special surface quality. As a professional percussion player I use a lot of different techniques, and for me it is very important that the fingers do not slip on the surface, but rather cling to it. I am also happy with the clarity of each note, fundamental and overtones. I wish everyone got such a jewel!

Mudra Handpan have a particularly rich sound and sensitive feel. You can sense the extra care put into each individual note and into the overall vision. A Mudra pan is truly an impeccable work of art and would be an excellent choice for experienced and aspiring players alike!

I’ve been a Mudra customer for over two years and I’ve noticed the evolution during this period and the quantum leap that has been taken. The instruments have an absurd quality, crystal-clear and clean timbres, both in sound and aesthetics. The hammering is so precise that it doesn’t even show. The lows are very stable, there are so many possibilities, various scales, instruments with more than 20 notes… Impeccable work!

As soon as I played my Mudra Handpan for the very first time, I realized that I had in my hands a high quality instrument on the same level as well known makers in Europe. The sound is clear, consistent and velvety, producing beautiful harmonics and wonderful sustain. The instrument is very beautiful, exquisite in the finish and details. The skills, attention and support of maker Rafael also makes all the difference, always responding willingly. Personally, playing with Mudra Handpan took all of my music work to a next level. I am very glad to have chosen Mudra Handpan!

I met Rafael Ortega a few years ago at one of the first Alexandre Lora’s workshops. We were both beginning our journey in this wonderful universe that surrounds the Handpan. He as the builder and creator of Mudra Handpan, becoming a reference in Brazil and me as a musician, becoming a reference for the instrument in Rio de Janeiro. Since then, we have developed a true friendship, as well as wonderful partnerships... I have witnessed the tremendous growth that Mudra has undergone over the years, becoming internationally known and one of the most respected Handpan companies in Brazil. This is the result of very serious work done with a lot of love. Today, I can say that it is an honor to experience this beautiful journey that Mudra is undertaking in search of spreading the Handpan culture in our country, and we continue together on this journey!

As a professional musician, it’s an honor to have and play the Mudra Handpan. The instrument is of the highest quality. The producer Rafael and the entire team always think about the smallest details and take care in manufacturing to constantly innovate... I recommend that everyone should have the opportunity to know, experience and play the instrument, as it will be a great choice for anyone who acquires it and joins the Mudra family.
Phelipe Agnelli @phelipeagnelli
Mudra’s work is exceptional, of which I’ve been a fan and admired since it first appeared. I had the opportunity to own one of the brand’s first instruments, which I already enjoyed very much, and now with a personalized and updated handpan, the giant evolution is noticeable... The final quality, from aesthetics to the smoothness of the edges, is impeccable. The customer service is also very attentive and dedicated. And the sound quality, which is the main point, is very impressive. I recommend Mudra to anyone looking for an extremely high-quality handpan!

Upon receiving my Mudra handpan, I truly cannot see how a handpan could sound any better than this. Their exceptional craftsmanship and great communication makes for an awesome buying experience altogether. This instrument is nothing short of a blessing and my next purchase with Mudra will be a total no brainer.
