Pan tuner Wayne Guppy chooses a suitable drum at his pan factory in Laventille. - AYANNA KINSALE
David Rudder sings about the man with the hammer in his song about steelpan tuner, the late Rudolph Charles.
But how does a man with a hammer turn a used oil drum into a percussion instrument capable of making our feet tap and our bodies sway?
Newsday photographer Ayanna Kinsale went to Scherzando panyard in Curepe where Anthony Duncan showed her the pan-making process. She also visited pan maker Wayne Guppy in Curepe.
