Purchasing a Mudra
Most of your questions may be answered below or on the FAQ link.
1. How to Order
To order your Mudra Handpan, simply email us at mudrahandpan@gmail.com. We’ll discuss the model, price, shipping options, and estimated build time.
Once you approve the details, we require a €100 non-refundable deposit to secure your spot on our waitlist. This ensures that only committed customers are listed. The deposit will be deducted from the total price. For example, if your chosen model costs €2300, your initial payment is €100, followed by a final payment of €2200 + shipping.
We communicate exclusively via email and strive to respond within 1–2 business days, Monday to Friday.
2. Scales and Models
We don’t offer a fixed scale list because each instrument is custom-made. Reach out to us to design your personalized Handpan.

3. Materials and Steel
Since August 2022, we’ve been using Mira Shells—our proprietary Deep Drawn shells for stainless steel. This method enhances the overall quality of our instruments. Learn more about Mira Shells here.
Below is an overview of the materials we use:
• AISI 430 (1 mm thickness):
• Long sustain, bright, and warm sound with a pronounced attack.
• Shiny finish with visible lamination lines.
• Feels harder to work with.
• AISI 439 (1 mm thickness):
• Balanced between Stainless Steel and Nitrided Steel tones.
• Percussive, ceramic-like sound with long sustain.
• Rougher surface and no lamination lines.
• Softer to work with but requires precision for stability.
• AISI 441 (1 mm thickness):
• Offers the longest sustain, adjustable via heat treatment.
• Deep, warm sound with round shoulder tones.
• Easiest to tune and stabilize.
• Matte finish similar to AISI 439.
4. Waitlist and Build Time
Wait times range from 3 months to over a year, depending on demand.
Build times typically take 4 to 9 weeks per instrument, depending on the model. Contact us for current wait times.
5. Mudra Bag / Hardcase
Each Handpan includes a custom Mudra Bag with two helmet-style protective covers, offering safe and lightweight travel.
