   Post contains sufficient epic-ness. Pretty cool 'instrument.'

   Nice sounding instrument

   I want one. Sounds a lot like a Jamaican steel drum

4. CB said May 9, 2008 12:43pm (ET)

   I'm looking for ordering information, but cannot find anything...

   You have to write a letter directly to the two guys that make them. Good luck.

   Virtual Hang. Not as cool but it will have to do for us plebs.
   
   Also, a ghatam can be had for about sixty bucks...

   The ghatam just looks like a pot for flowers and sounds too sharp.

    ...meh. sounds far too 'new age-y' for me. might be okay from time to time as a supporting instrument for a few spacy sounds.

13. CB said May 9, 2008 2:30pm (ET)

    hmmm...
    
    at about $1200 (and about a year and a half waiting period) I don't think I'll be picking one up anytime soon.

14. GHoosdum said May 9, 2008 2:51pm (ET)

    1200 Euro... currently about $1850.

    Keebler I apologize for my lack of grammar. Please let me fix the errors in my last statement.
    
    Thank you Brian for being a upstanding friend. Your timely response has me questioning your work ethics. I hope you are not partaking in any tomfoolery.
    
    Cheers

    Indeed, my compadré, I was taking place in what could only be called "extracurricular" activities.... while on the clock.. giggle giggle.
    
    I apologize if the tone that my partner-in-crime took with you was slightly off-putting. He tends to do that at certain ... ahem.. times of the month....

    All these videos are no longer available.

21. QCH2002 said May 9, 2008 8:35pm (ET)

    Each one functions properly for my person, and sound feloniously melodious.

    Sounds like something they would play as music for the sims.
    But its really cool, to bad it costs so much.

    A good quality instrument usually does. My first guitar cost $100. My good one (a Martin) was $1200. A friend has a few guitars that were well over $2500.
    I'd love to get one of these.

    I'd be okay with a low-quality, $100 hang drum. It'd just be toy for me anyway...

    I suddenly have the urge to play the Wan Chai Market level from Deus Ex again, these things sound awesome.
