I was introduced to the amazing instrument that is the hang for the first time whilst in Sheffield.
My friend Lu's boyfriend Tom treated me to hearing him play this beautiful 21st century-invented percussion instrument. It's a magical sound if you've not come across it. Genuinely not quite like anything I've heard before.
He had to write personally to request it to be sold to him by the maker and travel to collect it in Switzerland, such is the rareness of these instruments.
I was really excited to hear it and later discovered the Portico Quartet who use it a lot in their music and loop it/play with the sound as I imagined would be ace when Tom played his for me.
I want one!
