Premium woods

Five woods, five characters

Precision technology, assembled by hand

Under the hood

Precision technology, assembled by hand

Every Neotone¹ is designed and assembled by hand in Budapest. Under the noble wood, millimetric sensors simultaneously detect strike, pressure and position to faithfully reproduce the dynamics of an acoustic handpan. Professional audio electronics — 24-bit / 384 kHz DAC, 5 ms latency, 112 dB signal-to-noise ratio — make it a digital instrument without compromise.

Stage & Studio

The reference digital handpan

One handpan, endless possibilities: the Neotone lifts the constraints of the acoustic instrument and opens a whole new playground.

No more sound-system headaches

No more feedback or trouble hearing yourself. A single jack cable, a soundcheck done in seconds — and you can loop your playing and plug in your effects pedals.

A studio inside the instrument

Built-in recorder: hold the ding to start a recording. The sound is captured at the source, in studio quality, even in a noisy environment.

Your bubble, on headphones

Plug in headphones and play without disturbing anyone — at night, in an apartment, on tour. Exceptional sound purity.

Acoustic vs Neotone

The acoustic handpan has limits — the Neotone lifts them

What electronics change, concretely.

Very few notes. The physics of metal limits everything: size, dissonance, available space.

Electronics free up note placement: far more notes and scales possible on a single instrument.

To play 10 scales, you need 10 handpans: hard to transport, bulky to store, rising budget.

A single Neotone opens up endless scales — one instrument to carry, store and pay for.

Acoustic striking technique is demanding: discouraging at first.

Adjustable-sensitivity sensors: a true sound from the first strike, the joy of playing right away.

Bringing out the harmonics requires rare precision on acoustic.

On the Neotone, harmonics come out easily — and the acoustic effects remain.

On the acoustic Mutant, the mutant-note zones are small and precise.

The striking-zone size is adjustable (up to 30% of the note): enlarge it to start, reduce it for precision.

FAQ

Every answer before you take the plunge

What warranty comes with the Neotone?

Every Neotone comes with a 6-year warranty, a semi-rigid case and a charger.

Which company makes the Neotone?

The Neotone is made by Soundventure Ltd, in Budapest (Hungary). The instrument was born from the dream of two friends; the company was founded in 2021, with the support of MAG Instruments and Yishama Ltd.

Who is the Neotone for?

For everyone: playing a digital handpan requires no prerequisites. It quickly becomes essential for stage musicians (looping, plugging in pedals), for studio recording, for night players (headphone play) and for digital nomads. And for players already won over, it opens up the infinite field of scale creation.

Does it feel the same as an acoustic handpan?

The experience differs from acoustic play: the sound doesn’t come directly from the instrument but from headphones or a speaker. Upsides: full immersion on headphones, adjustable volume, no more feedback on stage. Bose L1 systems are ideal; the Bose S1 Pro is an excellent portable option.

Is the Mutant identical to a real “mutant” handpan?

No. The extra notes are played via a distinct zone inside each tonefield, which requires soft, precise playing. You can enlarge this zone up to 30% of the note for more comfort.

I’m a beginner — do you recommend the Neotone?

Both models are perfectly suited to beginners. The Mutant requires slightly more precise playing for its extra notes, but lets you go much further in harmony.

Do I need extra gear to produce sound?

The Neotone is a self-contained digital instrument with its own sound engine: no computer needed. It has no built-in speakers — sound goes through one of its audio outputs.

Can you apply effects to the Neotone’s sound?

As with an electric guitar, you can connect any external gear: effects pedals (Boss OC-3), loop stations (Roland RC-505 MKII), reverbs (Strymon Nightsky, Hologram Microcosm).

Is the Neotone portable and battery-powered?

Yes. About 8 hours of continuous playing. It ships with a charger, usable whether the instrument is playing or not.
