I'm not sure if this is the good place for this but it's an instrument. I wanted to know if someone tried a Hang Drum or if you have information on it because it seem to be pretty mystical...I want to buy one but there's rumors you have to go to Switzerland to pick up your Hang...I only now that it is produced by PanArt and that it's amazing (almost unreal).

Unfortunately I hear they're very hard to get, not to mention a couple thousand dollar price tag. Dead  I would like one as well, because they do sound amazing.

I've been interested in these since I saw a busker with one in Cologne (although I didn't know what it was at the time). I did some research at the time and also found they were difficult and expensive to get hold of.
 
Check out The Portico Quartet, a British jazz band who use them a lot.

This may be for you or it may totally not be for you but there are a couple of very well made sample sets out there if you're looking to add bits of hang to a recording.  Fully agree it's not going to be a substitute for holding the drum in your lap of course.

...OK this is pretty badass right here.  This guy is one of the best hang players out there & has a lot of stuff on YouTube & his website.  I just discovered his albums are on Amazon downloads which is great since I'm trying not to buy any more plastic discs...

Unfortunately, they're still as difficult as ever to get hold of.  But there are now a few alternatives to consider.

It's probably the same busker I saw uin A'dam last monday (before yesterday)... he was packing up when I strolled out of the train station.... given the price, I don't think many buskers can afford it...
 
 
Funnily enough, I saw Portico quartet and Hang drums (they had two of them) for the first time on a street as well... They were playing on the Thames' left bank on a sunny sunday afternoon in 2007.... playing 20 minutes sets for hours... I hung around for two hours.... bought their first album...
 
 
let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

You'd rather get ONLY the digital (and often lo-fi) copy than get that information on a CD?  You could put the CD on your computer and have a hard copy to listen to in the car, at anyones house, or in anything.  Not to mention that you could just stash it away and only use your computer/mp3 player digital copy, then have it for when the internet inevitably screws you out of the music at some point in your life.    If you hate owning discs that much then every time you buy something load it on your computer and send me the disc, I'll even cover the shipping.
Which of you to gain me, tell, will risk uncertain pains of hell?
I will not forgive you if you will not take the chance.
