[neihuslim]

I got the chance to play one of these things last year. They are great. Very much the steel drum sound.

[jacquesdumass]

they sound (and look) a lot like Trinidadian steelpans

[marmotbreizh]

Cool instrument !!

weirdgymasticus you should look it up on wikipedia because from knowing several switz people myself, they actually speak German Switz in a part of the country, French another one, in a small part of it they speak Italian, and Romanche in one canton !! Go to Geneva, you'll hear French in the streets, go to Bern you'll hear German !

I've played hand purcussion for many years and would love a few of these to beat on, sort of like hand played marimbas.

Nice.

[SteviesSister]

Imogen Heap's just got herself one of these! I think it's a beautiful sound!

Guess it like a steel drum but the dish is upside down..kinda cool and alien looking.

[Tzimisceblood]

Yeah, it is a long expensive process to aquire one of these instruments at this time.

[GreatNorthWeb]

hang drum is correct. it is pronounced "hung" drum, which is swiss for "hand" drum.

[firemaniacccccc]

Love it so cool.
