"Legacy Guitars" are those builders I've sold in the past but no longer keep in stock. I'm keeping them in place on the site because I still love the guitars and hope you will, too. Read more here.

Pantam Handpan Stands
Pantam Stands are one of my favorite handpan stands. They are solidly constructed and neatly portable. I always love good design, and these definitely have it, with adjustable extensions so you can play sitting or standing.
Like the Atlas stand, these solve the dampening problem that can occasionally be an issue with some handpan + stand combos. In the seated position, the points of contact are far out toward the rim of the instrument, leaving everything the resonate freely. In fact, I've done side-by-side testing, and I get noticeably more resonance and sustain on one of these vs. playing on my lap.
This positioning has the added advantage of freeing up (mostly) space for notes on the bottom shell. Not as well as Atlas, of course, but well enough that I happily play my handpans with bottom notes on these.
