Well I got myself a new toy... and it's so immensely beautiful that it will kill some of my spinning time.
But let's start at the beginning. Last year that dRedlocked dude, named Danny came to Goa and had a Hang in his possession. Not only that, but he played it (very well) and I was mesmerized...
You dunno what a "Hang" is? We'll come to that later.
So on my return to Munich, I go into the park and meet this young lady, also having a "Hang" and I think to myself: "Dude, what a "coincidence"...." I ask her where to get it and she tells me: "Well, that won't be easy. Check on the net for yourself, but the conditions are like this and that."
Hearing what is required to get a "Hang" I was almost fainting, checked the net later and found out she was right. Those people are nice people, but also
No way I am going to put up with that.
So I call her up and she makes me a contact. And now I have no "Hang" but a "Caisa" - which does the job nicely.
I'm an apprentice, but hey - practice makes the master... looking forward to show anyone coming to Goa this season and am thralled to play along with "HangMasterDanny"
Oh, almost forgot:
This is a "Hang" -

I hate thease things, they are ok for a while but after a couple of hours the pentatonic scale really grates.

what a strong wording for such a sweet instrument...
I agree with you, Nx? on the pentatonic thingy (but "couple of hours" may have at least two or three zeros' behind the number, at least for me) - initially I've been after a chromatic one, but couldn't get one in time (unfortly)...
Next year it might be right - in the meantime I bliss out on pentatonics... It's just the sound itself that mesmerizes me.
It is so chilling...

Mmmmmmmm... I played with...er... Jay's I think it was at UberParis... Lushness.
I don't think i'd ever buy one based on price/time and also as Nx says, it is a bit limited in it's tonal range after a few years. Live it gets drowned out very easily, but for chilling with some beats they're sexy.
I think i'll just borrow everyone elses

Hi FireTom,
I'm interested in how you find the Caisa, I have one (in Pentatonic F) but can't really find much about them and your the first person I've found other than Caisa Bill.
There's apparently another instrument coming out from a different company which is supposedly like the hang but we'll have to wait and see on that one.
Regards,

I met a guy in Thailand that had two Hangs, I think one was in treble and one bass, he played both. He also used a kick and did a variety of other things to produce 'tribal trance' or some such thing. sounded pretty nice. I think Meenik and co would know him, he played at the bar nearest to Pai play camp.

LLLL You can reach CaisaBill via his YouTube account... well, if he's checking I suppose...
Other than that, PM me and I will send you Nadines number - she's the one who I got my Caisa from.
Another company doing Hang/Caisas? That'll be very interesting!
Playing two of them at the same time...
sounds awesome 
currently I am working on getting ONE full tune on my single one 
Anyone has some key combination/ notation for a Pentatonic F?
