MAG Instruments was founded by four friends brought together by a shared passion for craftsmanship, music, and the expressive potential of the handpan. Ricsi and Peti began their journey in their high school’s technical workshop, experimenting with metal shaping and refining their skills long before they imagined building instruments. At the same time, musicians Patrik and Áron experienced the challenges of owning and maintaining handpans—especially when one of their instruments fell out of tune and required a personal trip to the original maker. This experience sparked a question: What if they could craft their own?

A chance meeting between the two pairs set the foundation for MAG Instruments, a company built on precision, dedication, and the pursuit of sonic excellence. From the beginning, their goal was to create reliable, beautifully made handpans. Through continuous testing, material exploration, and process refinement, they developed instruments known for durability, stability, and exceptional sound. Today, MAG handpans are played by renowned musicians worldwide.

Innovation remains central to their work, highlighted by Neotone, the first true digital handpan. Beyond instrument-making, MAG fosters community through initiatives like the Hungarian Handpan & Worldmusic Gathering and partnerships with global organizations, staying committed to elevating and supporting the handpan world.
