OUR STORY
Handcrafted in Frome, One Instrument at a Time
Formed in 2015, Tāla Handpan's is the craft work of Frome based instrument builder Daniel Comer. With an avid love for their rich harmonic resonant sound the handpan is loved by many and those that are lucky enough to experience hearing one, some 10 years on their amazing ambiance still has me mesmerised.
From my workshop in Frome I offer any interested buyers the opportunity to play an instrument before purchasing. I also take on commission work, building a requested or favoured scale.
With so many happy customers enjoying their instruments around the world, Tāla Handpans is proud to share their work with one and all.
For any more information on commission work, our waiting list or any other questions, or to arrange a visit please feel free to contact us.

What players say.
What players say.
"Dan could not have been more helpful from the first email to the day my E Minor arrived. The instrument itself is superb beautifully even across every note, and it still surprises me months later."
Kent — E Minor Handpan
"I now own three Tala handpans — an E-Pygmy, an E-Kurd and an F-Pygmy. The workmanship is exceptional and every one of them arrived across the Atlantic perfectly packed and in tune."
San Francisco — Three Tala Handpans
"I have three handpans in total, two of them from Tala. What sets Dan apart is how bespoke and personal the whole thing is — you are talked through choices, not sold to.
Somerset — Two Tala Handpans
"My Pygmy scale handpan has become my favourite instrument to play — the tone is warm and it's impossible to hit a wrong note."
Alex R — Pygmy Handpan
