Hang Drum Performance @ Grenada
The Hang is a musical instrument in the idiophone class created
by Felix Rohner and Sabina Schärer in Bern, Switzerland.
The name Hang comes from the Bernese German word for hand.
The Hang Drum is constructed from two half-shells of deep drawn
steel sheet glued together at the rim leaving the inside
hollow and creating a distinct 'UFO shape’.
Udu-like sounds are produced with the air resonance,
sounds of the clamped shallow shells sound like bells.
The inner note on the bottom dome is the bass note
when played in a dampened way allows change
in pitch like a talking drum.
