“Jan's Handpans are all one in a kind. By the looks, the touch and the sound, you can easily tell that it is a 'Taopan', even though they are all different and unique. It shows once more that the personality of the maker engraves itself in the instrument he makes. He seems like a humble sage and a playful child, on his mission to explore the world of handpans, getting closer and closer to his perfect sound.“ |

"I've been deeply touched by a stainless Taopan. A beautiful and unique piece of art that seems to carry and emanate the passion and kindness of Jan Tao himself. It's warm and powerful. The resonance is something that soothes my heart even on a very tangible and physical level. I'm so grateful to be able to express myself with it” |
