Why 20 Notes

The top five notes on traditional lead pans are often underused and lack clarity. Panyard removed these to focus on the essential 20-note range, resulting in a pan that is easier to teach, simpler to navigate, and more stable in tuning—perfect for learners and experienced players alike.

Steelpan in the Classroom – Making Life Easier for Teachers

The Panyard C-20 is an engaging, low-barrier-to-entry instrument used in classrooms for over 50 years. Its thoughtful design supports music instruction for all skill levels and integrates easily into existing curricula. Durable and reliable, the C-20 is ready to inspire students, spark creativity, and expand musical programs without complexity or high cost.
