Description As I came into Abbey Square, in Bath, I heard this amazing sound floating on the breeze. The musician was none other than Daniel Waples. One of the finest Hang players. You can see him here  www.youtube.com/watch?v=EDQgU1… www.youtube.com/user/hedgemonk…

I've just put a new link up, with Daniel playing solo.

Walking into that Square, with the sound bouncing off the Bath Stone buildings was so eerie. Have now got 2 CDs

Argh, I am so glad that you have turned me on to this. I REALLY love that thing. It is so cool looking on top of sounding so harmonic. It's absolutely the coolest thing I have seen and heard in some time.

It truly is beautiful When I came into the Square I couldn't see him as people were standing behind him,
blocking my view. It was a case of 'what the hell is going on'. I've emailed him this shot.

Sorry If you google "Hang" or "Hang drum" you may find an outlet in the US, they're made in Switzerland.
Blessings for the favour m'deer

OMG I love the sounds it make. I just spent the last couple of hours (in between phone calls) listening to various YouTubes.
Would love to learn to play this but I am tone deaf and it wouldn't sound good to others. So I'll save the hearing population by staying away from any musical instrument.
