seriously, the hang drum seems to be awesome instrument, too bad they dont manufacture them that much. I wonder if it can be built from old grill... :)

shadez: that (and the price..) is the problem :) that friend told me that you'd have to apply for the instrument in written form to get your chance to make a personal appearance and persuade the manufacturer to build you one of these things :D

that's why he bought this one

If only all this shit wouldn't be so friggin' expensive. Even the little kalimba posted by hermes above is 85 Euros. A decent drumkit is 1000 Euros. Don't know about the triangle though. ;)

..let alone the "mAd skillZ" you will need to play it properly..like the "metal music" guy f.e.

but hey :) at least it can be a great inspiration soundwise ..

It's a gaffophone :)

Quote:
The Gaffophone is an musical instrument invented by the imaginary hero of the popular cartoons of Gaston Lagaffe of André Franquin.

Its main features are its very big size, its doubtful esthetics and especially a strong sound and far from soft with regard to the ears, able to cause mini-seisms destroying the buildings in the neighborhoods.

The first appearance of the Gaffophone (that Fantasio proposes to baptize brontosaurophone ) was on March 9th, 1967, in gag 449 (Spirou nº 1508)

Didgeridoo and Hang drum
What a cool instrument the Hang is... You can consider my mind blown!

I found out that one of these things costs around 1000€. That's not that much if you consider the fact that they are handmate. Getting one involves quite a process though. I did some research and it seems to be easier to get into the freemasons.
