SND (short for Sound & Design) is a handpan maker based in South Korea, founded by Hwang Hyoung Chul. The company began building handpans in 2014, becoming the first dedicated handpan maker in Korea. SND operates a workshop in Geumsan-gun, Chungnam Province, with a presence in Seoul's Hongdae district.
The brand specializes in steel handpans tuned to a range of scales, with models offered in configurations from 9 to 18 notes. Their catalog includes scales such as D Minor, C# Amara, and E Equinox, sold direct through their website. SND has developed its own approach to harmonics tuning, which it cites as a defining element of its instrument-making process.
Outside of instrument production, SND runs a handpan academy offering lessons and workshops. The brand is one of the few handpan makers operating out of East Asia and has built a following in the international handpan community through its YouTube channel and direct sales.
