I received an advertisement for thisâŠ
I received an advertisement for this website. The site was recently updated and now lists a sole proprietorship established in February 2026 in France by an 18-year-old man that is not subject to VAT. It is therefore impossible for it to have â3,500 satisfied customers,â as it would necessarily be subject to VAT given the revenue it would have generated.
Furthermore, the site was created in April 2026 and claims to have 3,500 satisfied customers! That is simply impossible.
All prices have been crossed out for over a month now, which is illegal and intended to mislead consumers. The spring sale advertised at the top of the site, which states that it always ends the next day, is also updated to deceive you.
The customer reviews featuring videos actually come from well-known handpan players, such as Malte Marten or Sunni Holden, and have no connection to this site.
The site is called âThe Handpan Workshop ,â but the address listed on the site does not correspond to a workshop. It would be surprising, moreover, for an 18-year-old to own his own workshop.
In short, everything is designed to deceive you into thinking youâre getting a good deal. There are so many lies that I donât even know if Iâll receive an instrument if I order from this site. So Iâd rather not.
