I just became aware of this recently invented instrument called the Hang Drum. Here's a YouTube video of someone who's pretty good on it:

Acording to Wiki:

The hang was developed in 2000 in Bern, Switzerland by Felix Rohner and Sabina Schärer (PANArt Hangbau AG) and introduced at the Frankfurt Music Fair in 2001

I want one, but you have to go to Switzerland to get one. The builders want to meet you in person and make sure that you pick one that you like. They come in all kinds of different scales and tunings.

The odds of me traveling to Switzerland are, like, nil. $:\$
