Steelpans were invented on the Caribbean island of Trinidad in the 1930’s and were given their present shape in the 60’s. It is the only family of acoustical instruments that has been invented in the 20th century. There are several types and registers of steelpans ranging from bass to soprano, and therefore it is possible to create an orchestra solely consisting of this instrument. Such an orchestra is called a steelband. The instrument was brought to Europe 30-40 years ago and has gained a great deal of popularity in many regions of the continent.
