So with the handpan being only 20 years old, very few have composed anything for it. In fact, most players (and makers) have probably never read sheet music in their lives. If that's the case, then how do people learn? Well, just like with all musical instruments at the start of their lives, we learned by ear. It's only recently that we've begun writing actual sheet music for handpans. Here's the start of what we've done at NovaPans Handpans:

TheLastOfTheMohicans_Handpan.              With the online (free) tutorial found here.
