Handpan (Hang Drum) App Scales, Rhythms & Lessons

Soloist Handpan grades your touch and timing on-device — no ads, no account, and nothing about your playing ever leaves your iPhone.

Ringing, meditative, and graded by touch.

Your playing never leaves your device: listening, transcription, and grading run on-device. No account, no ads, no trackers.

The handpan — the instrument many players first meet as the hang drum — is a wellness-and-music crossover with no real practice app. Soloist renders its circular pad layout, grades touch and timing, and works with the long, ringing sustain.

Circle-pad notation

Notation drawn to the handpan's tone-field layout.

Touch grading

Per-note feedback that respects the long sustain.

Scale-fit pieces

Songs fitted to 8–9-note handpan layouts.

How honest grading works

Listen.
Play a take on the drawn pan and Soloist Handpan follows your touch directly — no microphone needed, nothing recorded, nothing uploaded.
Measure.
The engine measures each strike against the pattern — which tone field, and exactly when — with timing that respects the pan's long, ringing sustain.
Report.
You see which notes rang true, which didn't, and what to loop next — drills built from your actual rough spots. An unclear take is left ungraded, never turned into a confident mistake.

Real screens. Real practice.
