"The limited edition of the integral hang got already their owners.
The last integral hang will leave the workshop in spring 2009.
A longer break will follow: time to relax the hands, time for scientific research on acoustic and metallurgy and time to reflect on the integral hang and its future."

So guys stop asking me where and to get a Hang and we can only rspect them decision.
I cant help you;) till the next news!
Have a beautiful day!

Here the reviews I received about the album"Music for Hang" on cdbaby.com
Thank you:):)


Serenity and healing
author: Marion Mantel

The vibrations of the hang are incomparable to any other instrument I have so far listened to ... the way Davide masters the hang, is the one of a great master ... he is extremely sensitive, intuitive and has a very feminine approach (that's my perception) to playing this heavenly instrument ...
I have found my whole body resonating, but especially felt the healing vibrations in the head-area, together with an appeasement and even stopping of the thinking-mind-process, which brought about a relaxation and feeling of peace and serenity ...
even the faster pieces are extremely soothing, yet vivifying for the energy-system of the body, unblocking stagnant energy-knots ...
in comparison with some new-age-music played by electronic keyboards, which makes me drift off, disconnect and space out, the hang brings me to the present moment ... I somehow compare it to the tibetan singing bowls ...

a mega-huge thank you for this outstanding musical offering to us all,

heartfelt blessings,

music played by the heart

Subtle, directed Hang
author: Aaron Ximm

If you don't already know about (and want) the PANArt Hang, this CD will make you a believer. This CD is a showcase not only of the potential that instrument -- a hand-played descendant of the steel drum, more sound-sculpture than "drum" -- but also what happens when it's put in the hands of someone with great subtlety and skill. One of the instrument's makers has said that the Hang gives voice to the soul. If that's true, David must have a beautiful one indeed. Highly recommended.

Bursting with joy
author: Thomas

I'm usually not very emotional. But listening to him play, fulfilled me and unleashed such intense happiness, way beyond goosebumps. It released so much. I can't even write a proper review, remembering how extraordinarily liberating it was. Thank you Davide.

Great Stuff!
author: Karen Tricomi

This instrument's blend of percussive and tonal qualities are like nothing I had heard before, but it's beautiful. David Swarup is one of the few artists I've come across that plays this instrument only on the CD. Very relaxing and moving. I recommend it!

Ciao human tribe!How is your day?:)

"Letter from Hangbauhaus"

Bern, End of March, 2007

From Sabina Schärer and Felix Rohner, Hangmakers

We thank you for your interest in our instrument and for your patience.
In our Hanghaus lie the fruits of our winter’s work, and they are
waiting to meet their new owners.

There are very, very many who have written us. Heartfelt letters have
reached us from all parts of the world. We especially thank those, who
along with their compliments have also asked us to proceed with this
gift with great care.
This we will do.

Please read the following lines through slowly, and try to understand
in which sense and spirit we are thinking of passing on the instruments
we have made.


A Short History of the Development of the Hang.


The new instrument known as the Hang was born in January of the year
2000 in Hanghaus in Bern.
Responding to the impulse of a ghatam player we formed a great sphere
out of a couple of raw forms for Steelpans that were lying around the
workshop, which had in them a number of concave tone fields. At the
time, no one recognized what this was to mean, and no one could play
it, either.

However, this gave us, the Hangmakers, a unique possibility to make
further progress in the art of tuning metal. Our understanding of the
physics of various musical instruments of the world now flowed into
this new thing. A new musical dimension was now opened for human hands,
and this new thing was named the Hang, which signifies hand in the
dialect of Bern.

In the years that followed we tuned these "resonance bodies" with all
sorts of scales, eavesdropping on the particularities of the scales of
the world: Arabic, Persian, Indian, Chinese. The journey went clear
around the world, always keeping in mind the tuning of the new
instruments. We sent these instruments to all continents and received
music in return. It was a productive time!

It appeared more and more that this instrument was not just a
percussion instrument, but something that raised new questions
regarding the very nature of music. Hang players reported amazing
experiences with the instrument, for themselves and also for their
listeners.

Now we are proceeding to make the Hang even closer to people: The sound
is becoming softer, deeper, and clearer. We found the courage to leave
behind the world of scales.

In the spring of 2006 we presented a new generation of Hanghang
(Hanghang is the plural form of Hang), which pleased people right from
the start. Each instrument was unique in sound and tuning, and received
a soft upper surface of annealed brass, with a ring of brass around the
circumference, covering the formerly sharp rim.

Because the worldwide demand for ever more instruments could not be
met, we decided to end all distribution through music shops. Interested
people came in the summer and fall of 2006 to Bern, where they could
find their instrument at their ease - or, to phrase it differently,
where their Hang could find them.


Spring of 2007.


The Hanghang that came out of this winter look like those of last year.
Yet, when seen up close, you will notice that the placement of the tone
fields has changed. This innovation has led to a clearer sound that
radiates outwards with more strength.

The harmonic fifths combine and produce a charming overtone music,
which, in a manner of speaking, appears in the acoustical space above
the playing. While with the Trinidadian Steel Pan the octave of the
fundamental is the most powerful harmonic, with the Hang we give the
fifth more power, with the dome shape of the tone fields. Pay attention
to this, next time you hear a Hang. The allure of Hang playing does not
lie in virtuosity, but in playing intuitively, in such a way as to
allow space for these sounds.

Seven or eight harmonically tuned tone fields are arranged around the
central tone, the DING. With all Hanghang the DING is a D3 (Re3). The
DING resonates together with the GU resonance of D2 (Re2) when you play
with the instrument in your lap. This is the ground resonance of the
air which streams in and out through the GU, when it is activated by
tapping the DING or the shoulder of the DING. The throat-shaped GU has
its own high resonance (D5, Re5), aligned with the DING side. In the
tone circles of all the new Hanghang you will find the fifth, A3, plus
D4 and A4.

The remaining tones are tuned by the Hangmakers in artistic freedom.
For example, here is just one possibility: D3 (central note); tone
loop: A3 C4 D4 E4 F4 G4 A4.

In all cases, the fundamental aspect of the tuning is D, its fifth, and
its octave. In this harmonic cathedral, infinite dynamic musical
possibilities are opened up for Hang players. The gentlest impulse from
the hands is amplified by the tension in the lens-shaped resonance body
of the instrument. The result can be a music that goes right under the
skin.
