This is a normal post Really hypnotic
Like Gamelan....I had a friend/ bandmate who used to make/ find all his instruments in rubbish dumps. He used to have this massive circular saw blade that made "a lovely sound", and I remember him complaining when his wife made him get rid of it because he dropped it and it ended up stood upright cut 3 inches into the floor just millimetres from the ends of his toes! xx

This is a normal post This is ace
Some music teacher once told me that there was only one person in the UK (or the world, can't remember, but the UK seems more likely) who can tune steel drums. I'm going to assume it was him that tuned that wok.

This is a normal post If you want a Hang, it's going to take a lot of effort.
From Wikipedia: "There are only two people who build Hanghang, the inventors Felix Rohner and Sabina Schärer. They have a little workshop in Bern where every Hang has been created."

They're not into mass-producing, and they pretty much want you to see them in person if you're interested in buying one.
