Last May we were super stoked to attend the first ever US-based Women's Handpan Gathering which took place in the Catskills Mountains in New York: Super Bloom! We're super proud of the beautiful 9-minute highlight reel we created showing what a good time we had and all the friends we made. Super Bloom is for all people who identify as women (and if you don't, you're encouraged to watch the video and share in the joy of women gathering to learn, rejuvenate, and make music together.) We'll be attending again this year - giving away some super prizes as well as brining tons of We Play Well Together instruments for you to try out.Â


Steeped in nature, with the handpan as our guide, we invite women-identifying handpan players, enthusiasts and like minded ladies looking to awaken, explore and expand their divine inner-compass, together for this gathering.

Integrating time for self-care while navigating the daily flow can be challenging enough! In honoring the need to slow down & gift time to better integrate self-care, we have curated a schedule that leaves room to reset: Sound Healing Soul-Crafts â Cold Plunge in the Pond Commune with Sisters â Open Mic & Fire Circle Jams â Explore Ease & Relaxation Enjoy the Land â workshops
.     

The handpan belongs to the family of musical instruments, called Idiophones: a melodic percussion instrument made of hammered metal. Though there are hundreds of handpan manufacturers around the world today, each, as with all craftsmen, brings their personal touch to their instrument- and the pans we distribute are handcrafted by The Metal Sounds Company in France,  playfully called Spacedrums. What WPWT offers that's super special though, is that we have sets of instruments to help you match a handpan to your other instruments including our own kalimbas, monochords, and tongue-drums, plus other instruments you might own like crystal singing bowls. Reach out to us for a consult to help make a personalized recommendation for you!Â
Absolutely stunning craftsmanship in every way!- sounds almost angelic, and so mesmerizing ... feels wonderful on my body. Delightful playing experience. Everything was packaged with the upmost care. Came with tuner as well as spare strings, mallet, and accessories!
Exceeded all my expectations, which were already high. This Monolina is so meticulously crafted and well made. I wish I could purchase one for every tuning. A lovely instrument that is clearly built to endure generations.
My binural tongue drum is so so beautiful. Iâm very happy with it and the sound is amazing, healing, engaging transformative! I always have the best experience with everyone at Weplaywelltogther! Iâm always supported and well guided by Joule and Gabriele.
Iâve just received my Sanaulan and Iâm thrilled!
Thank you
The unit came packed well. I reviewed the enclosed information. Having to tune it everyday for two weeks seemed a bit daunting for a newbie like me (no musical training) but proceeded. Ps I put the monolini on the stand but one side didnât tighten. I tried to tune it but it took me 45 min to tune 3 strings. I tried again the next day but also was having a difficult time. I couldnât find anything online to assist but when I was talking with my friend who is a musician she said to come over and she would help. The unit packed well in the travel well. The first thing she did was attach a âpick upâ to it. And within a few minutes she had all 21 strings done. So my advice is do not buy the Monochord without a pick up. It plugs into the tuner supplied and clips in to the Monochord. For a $10 item it really should be included. Now it is so much easier and enjoyable. Without the pick up the tuner picks up all sorts of background noise even if you have a quiet space. Itâs been a couple weeks now and I have bonded deeply with herâŚMona is her name. I bought a baby blanket as itâs recommended to keep it covered.
This instrument sounds beautiful, is well-made, and is the perfect addition to my sound healing toolbox. Thank you!
I love this instrument! I love how it sounds and how easy it is to play!
Shipped fast. I am so glad I was able to find this little tool here after looking everywhere.
Enjoying my Monolini G thoroughly. I have a D Monolina and the addition of the Monolini added another dimension to my playing experience. The D has a rich, grounding tonality and the G compliments that richness with bringing what feels like (to me) a richer expression, adding another range of subtlety and overtones. Beautiful!
Sounded utterly enchanting right out of the box!
The tones of this chime are beautiful. I have it hanging where I can walk by and play it often.
The items arrived in a timely fashion. Thanks for a smooth transaction!
the craftsmanship, (and craftswomanship) is incredible, and her sound. so resonant and otherworldly. I'm so happy with my new Monolina in G. I can't wait to play her for my community. Thank you Gabriele for your outstanding customer service.
This has such a lovely sound! I canât wait to start learning how to play!
A few years ago I became casually interested in the Kalimba because of its simplicity of design and playability. Without experience or a good point of reference I needed to taste a lot of flavors to sort out the choices. For a while, my discards kept the local Goodwill store supplied with inventory.
The feeding frenzy stopped when I discovered Hokema. Build and material quality is professional grade. The tines are not stiff, so you can play at any intensity without stressing a thumb nails. Resonance from the solid wood base and the resulting sustain are simply stunning. Even the high notes sing, unlike the flat 'tapping an aluminum pan' sound from my discards.
I first purchased the B-17, and later the smaller B-17 Mini. Comments above apply to both. There is no problem holding, playing, or carrying around either instrument. The Mini's smaller footprint might be more comfortable for small hands. I just like the smaller package. Because the B-17's wood block is wider, it has more space between the tines. Both instruments appear to use the same tine assembly materials, but the Mini has a shorter cross bar. The Mini's tine spacing is grouped, but they can be adjusted to make the spacing more uniform like the B-17. In that mode, even with the smaller block the tine spacing is noticeably wider than some other Kalimbas I've tried. My thumbs are average width for a 5'8" person and my nails are normally rounded (not pointed), and I have no trouble playing individual notes.
Tablature is available around the net for 17-key Kalimbas (RiffSpot has a nice ebook), so you can play tunes without reading music on both the B-17 and B-17 Mini.
Hokema kalimbas are as nice sounding as any I have ever heard. WPWT provides fast shipping and quick responses to inquires.
Enjoyable to use and very good quality for more percussive techniques.
These chimes are exquisite, and We Play Well Together is a great company to purchase from.
Highly recommended!
I have a Monolina for my Sound Healing practice, but wanted a monilini for myself. I am so happy with my purchase. It is perfect!
I bought a Sansula deluxe at We play well together. The service was exceptionnal and I received it within 4 days. The Sansula's sound is simply magic. So rich and vibrant. It creates an ambiance of it's own.
Really happy and satisfied about this purchase.
I just took the week-long monochord training with Joule and fell in love with my Monolina. Joule is a fun, engaging and knowledgeable teacher who brings deep reverence to her instruments and the art of playing them. We got to experiment with and experience all the different ways of expressing through our monochords and came away with a proven, complete and beautiful 45-minute session we can now offer. I highly recommend this class.
Quick delivery, wonderful company and lovely instrument!
