Best retuning service in town. Alfonso is a magician when it comes to tuning, i had a little accident with my handpan and needed some serious help, in fact the instrument needed to be open, reglued and retuned. Alfonso is not only a great builder and tuner but indeed a great surgeon. He has been in the handpan scene for a very long time and has a great expertise on that matter. I know that he retuned a lot of instruments in the last years and is now confident to help you out (if your instrument was build in a stable way). I wish i could give 100 stars to this guy because indeed, he brought back to life a dead instrument. The sound is even better now than before. A visit to his workshop is highly recomended not only for retuning services but also to discover beautiful soundsculptures.

The Instruments from Pandakini are outstanding with this unique feel, look and especially sound. Somehow afonso achieve a very specific timbre in his pans that i find very unique i the handpan world and i have played many different pans from different makers. I can clearly see the depth of intentions he set while building handpans and dealing with him in any form is just more then pleasent. A very funny and important human to meet. Cheers 🤙🏽❤️

After falling in love with Handpans and a long period of research where I tried several different Handpans from different makers, I decided I want a Pandakini made. Alfonso builds beautiful instruments and the sound is amazing. My C# Amara has a very rich sound with a long sustain and great timbre. Alfonso also let me be part of the entire process. He sent me several updates and pictures to show how the instrument is coming along. Every time we talked I felt his passion for his work. What impressed me as well is that he goes the extra mile and tunes the Gu. Nice work man! That shows again how dedicated he is to his craft.
