Your handpan is not a shelf decoration.
Follow the soft rings on your own pan. Five minutes, no sheet music, no streaks, no scores. Just you, the metal and a calm room.
Learn any song
Bring your own melody. It stays in this browser only and is never uploaded. Your songs show up under “My songs” in the song list.
Your browser blocks saving (private window?). Songs you add stay only until you close this tab.
From a MIDI file
Export the melody from GarageBand, Logic, MuseScore or any app that saves .mid. We pick the melody, move it into D Kurd and fit it to your pan.
Type a tab
Use your sticker numbers. Add dashes to hold a note longer: 5- is two beats, 5:0.5 is half a beat, R is a rest, D is the Ding.
No numbers on your pan?
Get round stickers (8–10 mm) or a washi tape and a marker.
Put the pan in front of you the way the player above shows it. The lowest note (1) sits closest to your belly.
Tap each note from low to high. They zig-zag: 2 is on your left, 3 on your right, and so on up to the top.
Mark the center (Ding) 0. If your pan came with its own numbers, set “Center note (Ding) is” to match in the player settings.
