THE HANG-9 KALIMBA
The Hang-9 was given this name because it has 9 notes which are based on the tunings of the Hang drum and other handpan drums. People love these kalimbas!
"Thank you for my new Hang 9 kalimba that arrived safely a day ago. I am loving her! I appreciate your adjusting the tuning to a modified Ysha Savita!!!
"This is just what I was feeling and hoping for.
"I am not a musician and have only been playing around with kalimba for two years since a friend left one behind. I was fortunate enough to acquire a handpan which took me to heaven and back but unfortunately due to some permanent bodily changes from major surgery due to a spinal aneurism I was unable to comfortably play the pan. A lot of tears because I was searching for some sounds my kalimbas could not produce that the handpan could.
"This Hang 9 is taking me to some of the places where I want to go and is a satisfying substitute. I can't express in words how grateful I am.
"Meanwhile recently a stranger came into my garden with a friend, he'd just returned from Thailand, Nepal and India where he purchased a camel for a man who'd taught him how to make the very violin he had traveled to India to learn to play. A long and beautiful story... Anyway I gifted my handpan to this young traveler who was is now on his way to Peru with the pan!
"His friend called me hours after they left to tell me the gift meant more than I knew as this young man besides saving for his travels was saving for a handpan unbeknownst to me. The wait lists as you may know are long.
"Not sure why I am rambling to you about this other than the handpan I hungered for found a happy home with someone who will play the music it was meant play. And that my heart ache at not being able to physically release the music I could feel inside has been soothed by the sounds of this simple little, utterly beautiful Hang 9.
"Thank you, thank you. - Robin" - 2016
