This PanScript Theory Booklet is designed specifically for E Sabye/Ashakiran handpans with 9 notes, helping you understand why certain notes sound good together from a music theory point of view.

Inside you’ll find a clear, visual breakdown of the chords (triads) available on your instrument, laid out using the PanScript™ system. Each page focuses on a different scale or mode, showing you exactly which notes belong to each chord and where they sit around your handpan.

Rather than memorising theory, this booklet encourages hands-on exploration. Start with one chord at a time, experiment with different note combinations, and discover patterns that feel natural under your hands. Some chords offer many note options, others fewer, they all build your theory brain.

Who this is for:

Beginners wanting to understand their handpan without overwhelm
Beginners learning how to ‘speak theory’ for covers and classes
Intermediate players looking to expand beyond one “home” sound
Players wanting to explore new modes before buying new pans
Anyone wanting a reference guide they can return to again and again

This booklet isn’t something to rush through. It’s a musical buffet — dip in, explore slowly, and let your ear lead the way.
