From what I understand, the actual Hang drum is somewhat expensive and 
slightly difficult to get hold of (it's a handmade quality/boutique 
instrument, with a waiting list).  Although I believe there are 
supposedly some other manufacturers who make instruments that are 
*almost* the same thing.

FWIW, there's a pretty decent Tonehammer sample library out for the 
Hang.  I was using that library to build one of the tracks that I was 
going to submit last year for the LD Compilation IV.  Then I realized 
the music I'd put together sounded like "HAPPY CALYPSO MUSIC, MON!' and 
I hated it.  So I shelved that tune.

Would love to see what an accomplished percussionist like Mr. Walker 
could do with one of those, however.
