PANArt now offers a backpack for the Integral Hang similar to the former backpacks for the second generation Hanghang. The new backpack is waterproof and used together with the hard case. It will be ready for delivery in a few weeks.

From 2001 to 2008 five development stages of the PANArt Hang can be distinguished: The early Hanghang of the 1st genereration (2001-2004), the Low Hang (2005), the 2nd generation from 2006 and 2007 and the Integral Hang introduced in 2008.

Saturday night the new Integral Hang introduced by PANArt in February 2008 joined a familiy reunion with some of its older siblings in a little town near Darmstadt, Germany.
They are on their journey through the universe …

Zur deutschen Version dieses Artikels
From 2006 to 2007 a new generation of Hanghang was built. Mostly the ding is tuned in D (the instruments of the first generation was tuned in A, G or F in most instances). Most of the instruments have seven tones in the tone loop.

Von 2006 bis 2007 wurde eine neue Generation des Hangs gebaut. Der Kuppelton Ding dieser Instrumente ist meist auf D gestimmt. Im Tonkreis befinden sich bei den meisten Instrumenten 7 Töne.
It seldom happens, that different versions of the hang are together in one place at the same time. A few days ago such a rare moment took place when I visited PANArt in Bern and found a lonely 2006 built hang among the crowd of 2007 built instruments in the Hanghaus. Having my first generation hang with me I used the golden opportunity to take a picture of almost the whole hang family.
Gerade stieß ich bei Google auf eine tief in den unendlichen Weiten des Internets versteckte Fotoserie, die Jacopino Giacomo offenbar bei einem Fest anlässlich des zehnjährigen Bestehens von PANArt im Jahr 2004 aufgenommen hat.
Besonders beeindruckend: Ein urzeitlich anmutendes, bauchiges Fossil, welches ein Urahn unserer heutigen Hanghang zu sein scheint. Ein Einblick in die Werkstatt lässt eine Ahnung davon aufkommen, wie die Hanghang ans Licht der Existenz gelangen. Und bemerkenswert fand ich ebenfalls, dass Omri Hason sein Hang genauso schräg hält, wie ich es meist tue. Aber stöbert am besten selbst in dieser Gallerie herum.
From the very deepness, the inner hang looks at a strange world outside.
“It seems that intelligent life is existing out there.”

Das Hang der ersten Generation wurde bis Ende 2005 hergestellt. Das hier abgebildete Instrument wurde im Jahr 2005 gebaut. Seine Stimmung ist Pygmy in hoher Tonlage.
