I’m Hadi. My story didn’t begin in a workshop; it began on the road.

In 2018, I started a long bicycle journey around Iran. Along the way, I met people who lived with music in different ways—instrument makers, musicians, and those who simply loved sound. These encounters slowly pulled me into a world that would later become the path of my life.

The first time I heard a handpan, something lit up inside me. That sound stayed with me and pushed me to explore, study, and experiment. A little later, I discovered the tongue drum, and during that same trip, with very limited tools, I built a simple instrument for myself. I continued my journey with that handmade drum, and surprisingly, people in different cities were drawn to its sound—some even wanted to buy it.

That was the moment I realized this could be more than just a passing interest.

When the journey ended, I continued building instruments—at first out of passion and curiosity. Over time, with better tools, higher quality, and participation in exhibitions, this path grew into something more serious. And as the work slowly expanded, my family became part of it too. What began as a personal experiment gradually turned into a small family craft—one that continues to grow and evolve.
