HanG!









The Hang (or Hang Drum as it is often referred to) is a 
tuned steel idiophone developed in Switzerland in 2000.

Buying one of these doesn't exactly seem to be the 
easiest thing on earth. They only get produced by ONE 
company (2 people), which are the same guys who 
created the instrument in the first place. Rumors spread 
you have to pay up to 6000$ on the blackmarket (ebay) 
orrrrr...you order directly and wait for...ahemm...a long 
time before you can get one. Contact by letter only. 
More information is available here

Still, the Hang produces some of the most amazing 
sounds I've ever listened to. Watch the video and judge 
for yourself.
