Even for the most stalwart optimists, it is no longer possible to ignore the onset of winter. while the last colorful leaves fall from the trees, the days are shorter and the evenings longer. but as with everything, you can also find something positive about what looks like a disadvantage.
For example, you can spice up the long evenings and the peace of winter with practicing Handpan patterns and/or listening some inspiring and heartwarming Handpan music.

Here I have put together some well-intentioned recommendations from the huge and almost daily growing offer of Handpan Music Releases for you. I hope you enjoy – and i hope, that the quiet time of the winter season will charge your batteries for the next spring and (Handpan festival) summer !

(PS: if you want to shorten the winter season, check out the 1st Indian Handpan Festival that will take place in February 2020 in Goa. See you there Panheads 😉 )
