Listen to the Hang

I saw a woman playing this instrument near Odeonsplatz today just before I headed home to cook dinner. She was wonderful and I wanted to sit there and listen to her for an hour. It is called a "Hang." Developed by two Swiss physicists about seven years ago, the instrument is still being developed and improved. Lovely sound.

A couple people playing the instrument on YouTube. Listen and fall asleep...it sounds like raindrops...

Hi Julie,
I just put this on my Facebookpage. To me there's something Bach-like to its sound. Hugs, MOM

Hmmm. Not sure about Bach. ;-) But I always think about all the Bach inventions I used to play when I think about Bach...maybe you're thinking of a particular piece? Maybe the complexity of the melody?
