“I have a great pleasure playing my Nirvana handpan!
Such an exquisite instrument, masterfully tuned and custom made to fit my voice and my style of music. I travel the world playing it and the sound of it opens such a magical realm for
my audience, I witness people transformed while listening to its beautiful sounds.
And I love coming to the studio to visit Terence Jay, who is such a sweet soul and a great musician himself, and see his mastery alive and play his instruments - all of them
sound heavenly beautiful!”

“Nirvana Handpans have literally changed my life!
As a drummer and percussionist, I always dreamt of composing but never found the inspiration or the right instrument to bring that out of me. These instruments have and I couldn’t be more grateful. They sound amazing, they look great and they inspire me in ways that no other instrument ever has!”
