Merging advanced building technology with handcrafted tradition, the C-20 provides a consistent, stable instrument at an affordable price. Designed and manufactured by Panyard in the USA, this steel pan features a perfect bowl shape, carefully placed note geometry, and exceptional tuning that exceeds traditional handcrafted pans.

Its eco-conscious High Gloss Silver finish resembles chrome but avoids environmental harm, with a non-glare surface for visibility in all lighting conditions. Built with specially formulated steel, this instrument avoids the pitfalls of traditional oil drum materials.

The 20-note range was chosen to omit the less clean-sounding upper notes typically unused in traditional lead pans. This offers more space for stable, resonant tone shaping and easier learning. The C-20 is ideal for general music programs, jazz bands, concert bands, percussion ensembles, and more.

Immediate shipping ensures quick delivery of a premium, gig-ready instrument that fits effortlessly into existing ensembles or jumpstarts new programs. From Jumbie Jam graduates to professional pannists, the C-20 is a perfect step forward.
