Hang\u00ae Drum"},"content":{"rendered":"<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Official Statement<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At ParPer Drum, we deeply believe in respecting pioneers. <strong>respeto a los creadores que abren caminos<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">The Handpan, as the world knows it today, was born thanks to the vision and sensitivity of PANArt, its original creators.\n\nTheir work marked a turning point in the world of sound and has inspired thousands of people, including us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">For this reason, we do not manufacture Handpans.\nWe do not do so due to a lack of ability, but out of respect for its origin, its history, and those who created it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We prefer to honor that heritage rather than enter a legal and ethical territory that is not ours to explore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Our Path<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">For almost two decades, we have worked on developing our own instruments, with their own identity and sonic language.\nFrom this pursuit, our Tank Drums and Steel Tongue Drums were born, with fluid playability, a clean melody, and a playing style that is inspired, yes, but never copied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">We do not seek to imitate the Handpan.\nWe seek to create something new.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And that path already has its own name, shape, and sound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Legal Framework and Respect for Original Design<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In July 2024, a Swiss court resolved the well-known legal dispute concerning the protection of the Hang\u00ae and other PANArt designs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The ruling clarified that:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>protected designs cannot be reproduced without authorization;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>any direct copying of the Hang\u00ae's shapes, geometries, or characteristics is illegal;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>the objective is not to stifle sound creation, but to prevent counterfeiting and unauthorized copying. <strong>evitar la falsificaci\u00f3n y la copia indebida<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">The Handpan continues to exist and be manufactured by its original creators.\n\nWhat is protected is its design as a work of art, not the music or sound exploration in general.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Our Position<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At ParPer Drum, we maintain a clear and consistent stance:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>\u2728 We do not manufacture Handpans.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u2728 We do not reproduce protected designs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u2728 We create our own original instruments with their own identity.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">We are deeply grateful to PANArt for their contribution to the world of music.\n\nTheir work was the spark, but our path has led us to build something different, designed for those seeking their own unique sound and a distinct soul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">We will continue researching, evolving, and bringing to life instruments that respect the law, ethics, and legacy of those who came before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">With gratitude and respect,\nJonathan and Nerea\nParPer Drum \u2013 Harmonic Sounds<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator
