A new sound

i've posted about this instrument a couple of times i think... but i haven't been able to come up with any examples for how it actualy sounds! so now you can all check out this amazing thing... it's called a Hang (swiss for "the palm of the hand") or a pantam.
http://www.hang-music.com/hangbox.php
check out the last one on the list (Omri Hason) though the other's arn't that bad either...
i've had the plasure of playing one of those... it took me no more then a minute to get femiliar with it and be able to play exectly what i wanted to on it... i just dove into it and a couple of other people simply joined in with a didge and some singing if i remember and we made the best music i've ever heared  it was like walking on sound... i wish i could afford one of these and have where/who to play it with!
this thing would make a trip go outside of this universe i think

That's pretty cool. How much do they usually cost?
If you're into strange sounding instruments, you should check out Indian or Chinese ones. Particularly the shenai.

around 650-700 USD i belive! it's not THAT much... but the considering that i'm not much of a musician (i play the didge but i wouldn't consider my self a musician so...) and i don't even have a job it's not something i feel is neccery right now
plus there's only one guy selling this thing in israel and he sounded pretty shady when i spoke to him... and for some obscure reason their official website says NOTHING!
never heard/of a shenai (/runs off to wikipedia)

I just clicked on the sites and found the songs there.
In wikipedia, it's spelled "shenhai." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shehnai
It's the lead instrument in this Beatles song:

well take a look at the forums over there... theres a little more info (dosn't point to anything good though)
basically what i gathered is that you're gonna have to go to swiserland to get one  they're all hand made and probably got expensive
this is all there used to be on that non existing link BTW (kinda shady but that's really all there was over there!) i think the Email might actualy still work (worth a try)
