danswift Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 https://youtu.be/OL-f6Jcvf_E this is an instrument called the hang invented in the year 2000 by Felix Rohner & Sabine Scharer,the hang uses some of the same physical principles as a Steelpan.but its modified in such a way as to act more like a Helmholtz resonator 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danswift Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 The electric kantele from Finland...I want to own one of these instruments! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djdiggla Posted March 29, 2016 Author Share Posted March 29, 2016 ^^That's super cool but looks too hard. I like the hang. Looks amazing and so beautiful sounding. Dan that kantele kinda reminds me of a cross between a pedalsteel and a omnichord. Omichord: Pedal Steel https://youtu.be/8F8PLsV2dVk and a bonus Robert Randolph vid because he's so awesome.https://youtu.be/BK561tuWA90 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danswift Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 Lordy mama..that guy is absolutely nailing it to the wall with the pedal steel there dude ,I dont think ive ever heard anyone use distortion with a pedal steel like that before, its normally all sweet and twangy sounding .. thats a great little band he has there as well by the way..id not heard of them before but ill definitely check them out some more on youtube Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djdiggla Posted March 29, 2016 Author Share Posted March 29, 2016 Yeah man, they give me chills. I saw them live and it was amazing. Unfortunately, the albums I've heard just can't capture their energy. Also, everyone in the band can play every instrument and they start rotating swapping instruments in a song or two.

danswift Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Thats roughly about £1.650.00 sterling and quite a lot of money in my opinionI never realized they were so expensive to buy as nice as it is I couldnt justify paying that much, for the same money I would probably buy this instrument and still have around £500 left to spend on something else I wanted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djdiggla Posted April 26, 2016 Author Share Posted April 26, 2016 Yeah the problem is they are all hand made, hand tuned and extremely time intensive to make. There are only 5 people in the US able and only 3 actually making them. It's so time intensive that a few stopped because it's hard to even make money off it. A few people are exploring cheaper faster alternatives. I like that it's tuned to basically be dummy proof. If I had one I'd probably just place it in the living room for anyone to play. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djdiggla Posted May 22, 2019 Author Share Posted May 22, 2019 LOL. I will when I get my studio fixed up and everything unboxed. Can't even get to it at this point. Mine is the cheaper version of that one in the clip. Both are made by Moog. Mine has one less octave but costs half the price. People that are really seriously into them tho opt for the more expensive not so much because of the octave but because that one is more stable. They are effected by the humidity in the air so if you are going to actually gig it's a lot better to have the nice one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
