I first saw a Hang being played by a busker in Nelson, New Zealand. My children (3 and 1) were spell-bound, as was I! We listened for about half an hour, and my 3 year old daughter spontaneously put her arms up and started swaying and dancing to this beautiful sound. We live in Italy, and I have just discovered that one of my students plays this instrument, as well as the tabla. He brought his Hang in to class today, and played it for us. So beautiful! He improvises, but the sound is always tuneful, and harmonious. He told us that this instrument is used a lot now in music therapy for children with mental disabilities. I thought it would be great to compose music for Reiki on it. Thanks also for the links. Will be doing further research! Jo Hi, thanks for this information!

I just came back from switserland from a visit to the hang house and played the 2nd generation af instruments. Since 2000 I'm in love with this amazing instrument and it has taken me literally all over the world playing with groups, orchestras, solo and more. If you want to write for the Hang I would like to perform the music for you. Just beware of the fact that the Hang has 8+1 notes per instrument so the number of notes is limited however as a percussionist the combination rhythm, limited harmony and melody are still endless All the Best Joshua Samson Hello dear Hang lover,

The thing to do is to attract the attention of more percussionists, so they can add it to the standard list of available instruments. Then, with a few good new pieces, a little luck and some creative lobbying, maybe we can get it slipped into the orchestra through the back door. It worked for brake drums... I agree it's a lovely sound. Like a steel drum played pizzicato (?). How about a Duo for Hang and Bass Marimba? Oooo, that would be nice. Orchestra, schmorqestra.
