Pantheon Steel Halo Showcase: The Aegean prototype by Spyros Pan

The Halo is Pantheon Steel's addition to a new family of instruments and sound sculpture descended from the steel pan. It is a resonant steel instrument played by hand in the lap; it is designed to engage the body and mind of the player in a new way. Rich in timbre and very expressive, and with no "wrong" notes to play, the Halo is made for free improvisation and meditative exploration.

This video is a showcase of the new Halo tuning "Aegean".
The central note is C and the tone circle surrounding it consists the following 8 notes: E G B C E F# G B.

Special thnx to Kyle, Jim & Aaron @ Pantheon Steel.

@MrEdcast1

thnx. the Halo is not black. i would describe it as dark blue witη blue hues. in this video it looks black because I have been fiddling with the colours.

Do you know how expensive the halo drum is compared to the PANArt Hang from Switzerland?

Are they as hard to get than the PANArt Hang?
