The musical instrument of the world's weirdest
The Hang is a percussion musical instrument created in laboratories belonging to the company PANArt by Felix Rohner and Sabina Schärer in a canton of Switzerland in 2000, with the idea of \u200b\u200bmoving the sound of steel drum to a portable device. Hang means hand in Bernese language. Was the result of 25 years of scientific research with steel and other percussion instruments resonating throughout the world, such as Gong, Gamelan, the Ghatam, etc. Arguably, the Hang is the fruitful result of the union of art, science and technology. can play in several ways: with the tip of the fingers, thumbs or palms, or combining all three at once. Most often, the Hang is placed on the lap of the performer, but you can also play supported on another surface.
Their sound is metal, harmonic and melodic with some ability
The instrument consists of two metal hemispheres soldiers and the sides are called Ding and Gu. Ding side contains 8 tones in the form of circles surrounding a larger central circle (called Ding) and has a sound very similar to Gong. On the other hand, the Gu side has a hole for the resonance of the sound created inside. Is a highly portable, despite its apparent volume.
Until 2008 there had been only about 5000 instruments, and that only made its two creators, and currently only about 400 are produced each year, making the waiting list for over a year to get it. [Citation needed] Also sold only in the headquarters in Berne (Switzerland), so that the resulting price must be added offset the cost of the buyer.
Its estimated cost is 1500 U.S. dollars Source
Here I present two albums in which the Hang, is the star, namely SILVIA PEREZ CRUZ & Ravid Goldschmidt''FLAME''Ravid Goldschmidt ;''Wave''and a third which also involved: Carles Benavent Quartet''.''
