PanKinds aim is to share handpan with as many people as possible, using these unique and beautiful instrumentsas a tool for connection, expression and for promoting wellbeing.

Avenir Light is a clean and stylish font favored by designers. It's easy on the eyes and a great go-to font for titles, paragraphs & more.

PanKind was founded in January 2019, born from Lyndon’s combined experience as a musician, handpan enthusiast, and educator. While drawing up the notes on a shell of a handpan at the PanAmor workshop in Exeter, Lyndon realized that his passion for these instruments extended beyond playing and building them. As a qualified teacher with years of experience leading percussion workshops, he saw an opportunity to use handpans in both educational and therapeutic contexts.

This vision was deeply influenced by a personal experience - during his mother’s time in hospice care, Lyndon played his handpans for her and other patients, witnessing firsthand the instrument’s calming and therapeutic effects. Inspired, he shared the idea with Laura, and together they developed PanKind into a thriving initiative.

Since its inception, PanKind has been active in a wide range of settings, including schools, Pupil Referral Units, care homes, hospices, and secure psychiatric facilities, delivering consistently positive outcomes.

PanKind is a core project under We Need Music CIC.
