Well Hang.

My new favorite instrument, the Hang. Apparently the Hang's sound is as rare as the instrument itself. Invented by a genius Swiss couple -Felix Rohner and Sabina Schärer - they're only willing to make a handful of these instruments every year to order through their company (Panart) and are selling for around 1800 euros, which is around 2350 Canadian dollars. Through my brief research I discovered the Swiss couple haven't patented the Hang yet and it looks as though some companies have caught onto its popularity and are in the process of re-creating knock off Hang Drums. Good news for those of you seriously considering purchasing one, bad news for the inventors. Lets hope they can hang onto their reputation as the inventors & creators of this amazing instrument.
