Check That Video Link Again
I'm so glad that I had a chance to experience one of these... Although it was virtual, it's furthered my inspiration with percussion instruments altogether and given me something to reach for. This absolutely mezmerizing instrument, the Hang (pronounced 'hung') was just recently invented in 2001 from a group of steelpan enthusiasts in Bern, Switzerland. They shortly and hastily ended retail of this masterpiece in music stores worldwide and made a harsh yet respectable decision on how to acquire one. You have to go to Bern, with an appointment all made up over fax or post with an 8 month notice and $1,800 US in hand. Rumor has it that there are around 8,000 Hang in the US that are being sold through eBay and black market for prices topping $8,000! I'm trying to get more info, but until then, please enjoy this fascinating work with this new found love of mine....

I'm so sorry guys... I don't even know how that url would have gotten into my browser, I haven't checked what that video was yet.
Bongobro posted the exact one that I was going for though.
My apologies.
