Beautiful Hang Drum Duet

The most marvelous thing about music is that it’s always changing; being recreated, reinterpreted and redifined. I love looking back on the evolution of musical forms and wondering what’s coming next.

In 2000, in Bern, Switzerland, after years of studying different percussion instruments from around the world, Felix Rohner and Sabina Schärer created the hang drum.

Until last night, I had never seen one, but I am now a hang drum enthusiast and am looking forward to getting my hands on one.

    I love these too. But can’t find one for sale anywhere. So far, the closest I can find is a Caisa drum: http://www.hangdrumsandhandpans.com/2010/11/caisa-handpan-for-sale-german-made-hang.html

    I want to play! :D
