on ebay a hangdrum costs as much as $5,000! Ouch.
edit: just read that hangdrums were created in Switzerland, and have only been around since 2000! How interesting...they were created based on research on several different types of resonating percussion instruments, including steel drums, or the gamelan.
Another vid...can't see anyone playing in this one but the sound is very chilled...me like.

Whether we write or speak or do but look
We are ever unapparent. What we are
Cannot be transfused into word or book.
Our soul from us is infinitely far.
However much we give our thoughts the will
To be our soul and gesture it abroad,
Our hearts are incommunicable still.
In what we show ourselves we are ignored.
The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged
By any skill of thought or trick of seeming.
Unto our very selves we are abridged
When we would utter to our thought our being.
We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams,
And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.
Fernando Pessoa, 1918
