Congas, bongos, djembes, cajons, timbales, frame drums, and the small instruments that live on a percussion table: tambourines, cowbells, shakers, and claves.

    Felix Rohner and Sabina Schärer built the first Hang in 2000 from two nitrided steel shells, and created an instrument with no ancestor: tuned, played with the hands, and impossible to buy on demand. PANArt stopped making the Hang in 2013 and the world filled the gap with handpans, a whole instrument family descended from one workshop's object.

    Ayasa Instruments

    Ayasa is one of the workshops that grew up after PANArt stopped making the Hang, tuning nitrided steel shells to named scales rather than to a single fixed layout — which is how handpans are bought now.
