What to do if your Hang / HandPan is lost or stolen...

Firstly, "Don’t Panic!" No - scratch that, "Do Panic!" - have a little cry. - punch something (inanimate) if need be. But then, wipe away your tears, and begin to set wheels in motion...
Offline you should begin to do all of the things that you’d do for any similar incident (if you haven’t already). If lost, retrace your steps, ask around, notify the police, put up some reward posters, etc. If stolen, report to the police, contact insurance company (if you have any), ask around neighbors, etc. And these things may prove to be enough to return your HandPan to your lap. But if they’re not...
What Can I Do Online?
At the time of writing there just aren’t that many HandPan in the world (relatively speaking - though a few more are added to the global stock each day). Divide the total number between the different makes, the different scales/sound models, and whatever kind of HandPan you’ve lost, there probably aren't too many others out there exactly like it. Which can make it surprisingly easy to identify, should it, for sale or otherwise, pop up online.
If you’ve lost (for an increasingly unnerving duration of time), or had stolen, a PANArt Hang, your first move online should be to contact the HangBlog, who operate a list of stolen Hang.
Hopefully you’ve pre-made a note of the serial number somewhere safe, which can then be added to the list of misplaced Hanghang. PANArt (or those operating on PANArt’s behalf) monitor ebay/facebook/etc. sales to at least some degree, and it’s possible that either they, or a member of the related community, may notice the sale, or may be offered the Hang for sale, should somebody attempt to sell it. Which in instances, has led to the return of Hang, to at least one owner.
Following this, and/or if your HandPan is a non-PANArt, you should head to the HandPan.org forum ‘Lost and Found’ section: HERE To both alert the community via a post, and also to get your HandPan details added to the list of lost/stolen HandPan.
The HandPan.org community is not only likely to be sympathetic to your loss, but historically, they’re an incredibly proactive bunch at helping to get stolen HandPan returned to their rightful owners (if at all possible). So letting these forum members know, will ensure that yours are not the only eyeballs keeping lookout for the hopeful reemergence of your HandPan (you can buy them a beer afterwards).

Additionally, THIS PAGE might help you to monitor HandPan offered for sale on ebay.
And should you be reading this because you have genuinely lost, or had stolen your Hang / HandPan, and haven't just stumbled across this, and aren't just reading out of curiosity - we deeply hope that your precious is returned to you swiftly, and that the above information; might be of some small help.

Selling Your HandPan Music Online - BandCamp

BandCamp - The Basics

Using Facebook to Promote your BandCamp Tracks

At the time of writing, if you’re looking to sell your HandPan music online, directly to your fans, etc., ‘BandCamp’ appears to be the place to be. I’m not yet personally at the stage where I’m trying to sell my music, but as nine out of ten people I stumble across promoting themselves online are using BandCamp as at least part of their strategy, I thought that I’d create an account, partially out of curiosity, and partially to be future ready, should I ever decide to try and record my own album (or put out a 'Best Of' type release).
Bandcamp is an online music store, as well as a platform for artist promotion, that caters mainly to independent artists. Artists on Bandcamp have a customizable micro-site through which they can promote, and sell their music (for a small percentage). Visitors can listen to songs/albums for free, and/or purchase music directly, and easily, straight from the artists page, both as a digital download, and/or as a physical CD.
Signing up is easy, choose a username, enter a few contact details, set your URL (web address), and then you’re good to go... or so it seemed. In fact there were a few issues to start with, after hitting the add music tab and trying to upload the only test MP3 I’ve so far made. I got an error message, which explained that the format was not ‘lossless’. And then giving up on that for a second, and choosing profile, and attempting to upload an image, I was informed that the number of images I tried were each not of a suitable size.
Solving Issues with a Little Persistence
The first issue was solved easily enough by finding a list of lossless audio formats, importing my MP3 back into Audacity, and exporting it again, this time in ‘FLAC’ file format. A format that Bandcamp now accepted on first attempt. While the second issue was (for me) a little more annoying, with even when re-sized to the suggested dimensions, the interface still repeatedly telling me that the image was either too tall, or possibly too narrow (but not specifying which). But eventually, it accepted my image (578x290 pixels for the profile picture worked for me - if you have similar problems).

After these few initial teething problems though I was done, and Bandcamp was plain sailing from there-on-out. There are all manner of options to play around with once your tracks are uploaded. You can set prices per download, or choose to give them (or a certain number per month) away for free. Connect up your PayPal account by entering the related email address, and get paid (as and when you make sales). You can set privacy levels, and licensing levels, add tags to gain internal traffic (visits from people searching BandCamp for a specific type of music, i.e. ‘HandPan’). And even sell your own Merchandise (t-shirts, and stuff). All backed up with some nice stats that allow you to keep check of who’s been visiting your page, what tracks they’re listening to, to what extent, and of course, keep track of sales.

And should you have your own website outside of BandCamp (or Facebook page - see video above), you can offer your tracks up for listening (and for sale) by embedding a playable widget (see below) by simply clicking the embed link over at BandCamp, and then pasting the html code (or URL (web address) for Facebook), to get something very much like...
