All the best to everyone in 2010!
New in this forum but not in the World Hang Community .
I live in Belgium and i speak French ,so sorry for the future spelling mistakes .
After 10 years of djembe playing, i'm also now a Hang integral player to. I passed from the music of the Earth to that of the Angels. To make vibrate the skin to be made vibrate the steel. The Hang is much more that a fabulous musical instrument.

Hi Bip,

welcome in the Forum.
How long do you play the Hang? If I understand right, you got your Hang not long ago?
Here is a good place to share the love to this wonderfull sound sculpture. I hope to read more about your experiences with the Hang.

Greetings from Germany.

Hello or Good evening, it is in the choice
As you ask me, I have my Hang intégral full 17 months since
I play the hang next my desire or envy of the moment .
Sometimes alone, sometimes with Bruzaill. For me, for us 2 or for those that are present (maximum 70 people) but not by obligation or performance or competition. Always for the pleasure of sharing .
We do not write partition and n 'have no constraint except the music dictate that we respect the Hang.
We play only improvisation based on our feelings of the moment but still a concern operating maximum harmonic instrument.
To take advantage of the Hang, I do feel at peace with myself and the world if the Hang can bring me that metallic noise.
Often, the silence after the harmonics are more intense than his own net and musical performance.
The hang me slightly open doors of wisdom and I leave to others the torture of an idle brain understanding the mystery of the Hang.
Why seek an explanation Hang while the magic of his only happiness in the world?

Thanks for your greetings on the forum dera Bip.
Yes, we play often twice but bever with partition, only in improvisation. It's always a new trip and surprise whan we play.
Just play with pleasure and peace in mind, never like a performance or musical artist.
We don't care about the "notes" of the IH or the logic of occidental music.
Just in vibration with the people, the world and the powerful of the universe.

Hello Bip,

Let me introduce myself first.
My name is Karin, and I also live in Belgium, near Antwerp.
I'm glad to have found someone who plays the Hang in Belgium.
I would be great to meet you. I just discoverd the Hang and his beautiful sound, saw it being played on youtube, have some music at home, but I didn't have the chance yet to experience this beautiful instrument in person.
Maybe by meeting you it will be possible.
I would really appreciate it.

With grattitude,
Karin
