"I love how well made they are, feel and look really good in quality, easy to apply and gives the pan such a nice grip!!"

"They work perfectly. I have never heard my A2 Mystic AsaChan sound so pure as when I have your magnet cut outs around the gu! The pan sounds flawless now! The magnets basically fixed everything I hated about my A2 Mystic!"

— Jacob Cole (@jacobcolepercussion (link opens in new tab/window))

The magnet grippers are an innovative solution to the handpan sliding in your lap, and the way they circle around the port means there's no interference with bottom notes. They're almost identical in function to the ones that strap to your legs, but I find the magnets simpler since they're attached directly to the pan.

The Rhythm Rest grips were the perfect solution to play long hours and live concerts with more comfort and security! I tested it several times during my rehearsals and especially in the last Handpan Festival I had the opportunity to join. It made a whole lot of difference! It’s practical, easy to carry and place, and its aesthetics fits perfectly with the Handpan. Definitely going to use these as my main accessory for my Handpan set!

Instant difference

My experience with RR was seamless and smooth from beginning to end. Easy ordering, smooth quick delivery, great packaging, this product is smart, slick, and sexy. What I like more than the handpan not sliding, is that I can relax my leg nerves, and this for me is a game changer. RR gave me that confidence instantly. I also can not put the pan down on hard surfaces without feeling I'm landing a spaceship on Mars. Highly recommend 👌

Great Accessory

Wonderful addition to the handpan. Really makes playing without a stand a lot easier. Maintains position and balance much better than without!

The best handpan Grips

I always was struggling holding my handpan on my lap not feeling comfortable that it might fall down. Peter Levitov introduced this website and recommended me to get one. I can't be more happier with my purchase. It's a very high quality product and I received it within a week. Don't hesitate to get these grips for your handpan if your instrument is expensive. It's worth every penny. Thank you Rhythm Rest!

Versatile!

I recently heard about these after looking for a solution to stop playing on my bed and the floor while destroying my back and knees! When I played on my lap, the pan slid off and I had zero fun playing and hardly would. Now, I can move the magnets wherever I need them for my body position! (I don’t have bottom notes to work around). It does take practice to learn playing on my lap now tho! :) THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!

Never in the way

Questions?

We have answers

Can’t find the answer you’re looking for? Chat with our friendly team

Will Rhythm Rest fit my handpan?

Our grips are designed as a universal fit to most handpans on the market today, even those with large bottom notes.

When assembled as a full circle, the grips measure with an outside diameter of 8 inches, and an inside opening diameter of 5 inches.

The width of each grip individually is approximately 1.5 inches, with a thickness of 8mm.

How does it stick on?

Rhythm Rest grips attach using magnets, so they don't require any adhesive and can be easily removed without causing damage or leaving any residue behind.

Curious if they'll work with your instrument? Try connecting a magnet to your instrument. If it sticks, then Rhythm Rest will, too!

Will it damage my handpan?

Not at all! Our soft-bodied magnets won't scratch the surface of your instrument, and the padded exterior can actually help protect your handpan from damage when placing it down on a rough surface such as gravel, concrete, etc.

Will it change the way my handpan sounds?

As long as your Rhythm Rest grips are not attached over a tone field, they will not impact the sound of your instrument.

In fact, we've even found that adding our Rhythm Rest grips to the bottom of your instrument can in some cases help to reduce crosstalk and unwanted frequencies. This is not a guaranteed benefit of using our grips, but has been observed in some scenarios!

Will they fit with a gu plug in place?

Our grips have been designed to accommodate for many of the gu plugs we've seen during testing, but not all plugs are created equally -- some being wider than others.

If your gu plug is wider than 4.5 inches, your grips may need to be spread apart slightly to accommodate. This will not affect performance of the grips, but placement needs to be considered to make sure the magnets are not overlapping any tone fields.
