Sadly the Integral Hang is no longer made by PANArt. They have shifted their focus slightly and are making what they call the Free Integral Hang: not tuned to western standard (A440 or 12TET).
The demand is still vastly larger than the supply though, and the general process is still the same. Folks interested in the FIH send a letter (not e-mail) to PANArt requesting the opportunity to purchase one.
beautiful sound.. I just got my Hang a month ago, and am still learning. I wish I had more of a background in percussion so my hands would work faster. I will get there with enough practice. If you are ever headed to the Charlotte NC area, email me, we can Hang together.
I have no real drumming background, and the process of connecting the hands to the spirit of what you're trying to accomplish can be disheartening sometimes.
Work simple rudiments to get your hands used to moving and put in the hours of communing time with the Hang and you'll be in the flow more and more.
Let me know if you're in the L.A. area and we can HangOut!
you actually got a real hang that was shipped to you? please please tell me how i can do this. i am aware of how expensive it may be but i would love to not have to go to switzerland to buy one...
I am in the Los Angeles area in the United states.
The instrument (the PANArt Hang) is a kind of 'sound sculpture' created by two artists in Switerland. Like other hand created works of art there is a limited number and availability of PANArt Hang instruments.
There is some cross resonance between notes, but it's not as direct as you seem to be indicating. There are also overtones built into each 'tone field' that can cause cross resonances. The top note is a D with an octave of D as an overtone as well as an A, both of which exist in the circle of notes around the center.
wait so you can just wright a letter... i thought that you had to already know somebody who had one, set up a appointment, fly to Switzerland, prove your worthy to get one, and talk to the guys their to see if they like you, and if thats not enough, give them at least one kidney and your first born
The PANArt Hang is the creation of two artists who personally do almost every step by hand. Before 2006 the demand was such that they could more easily meet prospective buyer's expectations. Starting in 2006 the complexity of their processes and the time and expense it took to create a Hang increased, along with the explosion of interest that YouTube brought. At this point the two artists are a bit overwhelmed and are unsure how they will proceed in creating sound sculptures like the Hang.
I'm sorry if you were mislead. I do not represent PANArt in any way other than a Hang Enthusiast. I made this video because I was lucky enough to obtain one of the new 2008 Integral Hang instruments and wanted to share the beauty with other Hang enthusiasts.
The price of the Integral Hang is 1,200 Euros. There are additional VAT/Shipping charges that may apply. But at this point they all appear to be spoken for through spring of 2009.
At about 1:12 there was a chance to keep two voices going with a powerful high note part with steady bass--I was really getting into it--but you stopped abruptly. Neat instrument, anyway.
Wow, beautiful sound, and really amazing that you can do that! Thank you for posting this!
This may be a silly question, but would the drum sound different if you had on jeans or some other pants? Is the drum being against your bare skin a part of its expected sound? Meaning, to play this drum, are you supposed to play it bare-legged, or does it not matter? Or is it more in what sound you seek that determines what you wear, or don't wear, on your legs?
Not that I've found. But there is an interaction between the Hang and the legs that does change the tone. I've recently found that sitting in a chair with knees together at the right spacing under the Gu opening can bring the Helmholtz/Fundamental resonance to a D2.
and yes: this IS a new generation of hang hang!!! what a fantastic range of overtones! well played!!!! and by the way: thanks a lot for your comments on my latest vids!
I really wanna find someone who lives near St. Louis with a PANArt hang drum, would anyone be so gracious as to let me try their drum out for a couple minutes? Its quite a sum of money and I would love to see just what its all about before I go through with it.
patience, which is hard to have as i applied to get one in october 2007, i had to wait till march 2008 for their reply, then was informed that i wont get it shipped to me until the first weeks of october 2008! only a year to wait then, at least it gives me more time to get the money for it, which is a £1000. well, good things come to those who wait, good luck to everyone else wanting to get one...
Wow this vid was exactly what I was waiting for! An Integral Hang vid with good sound. I'm waiting for my appointment in Bern to get one myself, man it's beautiful.. Thank you for sharing! *pulp*
Damn this is exactly the video I was waiting for. I'm waiting for an appointment to get my very own and was dying for a good quality Youtube vid, thanks! It's beautiful..
Would love to know what is different about the new Integral Hang. Is it still in the D Ding series of hang hang? How is the Integral described by Felix and Sabina?
As in the 'About This Video' section I mentioned this is still D Ding with two A's and another D like most of the 2006/7 New Generation models. PANArt hasn't made an official announcement regarding the Integral Hang, but have a booklet they send to those who have requested one that describes it a bit.
That sound. Thanks for the recording.

elias0032 6 months ago
do they all come tuned in D minor? or can you request custom tuning?
UKperc11 3 years ago
PANArt has reduced the scales to the single D Minor based one, so all Integral Hang Instruments are D Ding, A, Bb, C, D, E, F, A.

A very interesting instrument indeed.
I've seen one being played in a park when I was visiting Madrid
The pressing on the top part seems to be influencing which of the overall tones are resonating along with the note being struck, or am I mistaken?

The 2008 offering of the Integral Hang is only in one set of notes - D Ding, A, Bb, C, D, E, F, A.
The Hang Makers have decided to take an extended break in 2009 before deciding what to do next, so we'll see what they come up with then.
