in the quest of Doing Nice Things for Ellu:
i recalled late last night about the Hang drum. It's a kind of instrument in a category called 'handpans', it's a mix between a steel drum and a UFO lookin' thing, that makes beautiful music:
(oh, yes, that's it, it was one of my favorite Shpongle tracks that did it.)
I've wanted one of those for years.
...however, they are...prohibitively expensive, to say the least. Like, as much as a fursuit.
HOWEVER. doing some research, i found a different kind of handpan that's like a third of that price, and just...well, it sounds just as pretty to me. u3u
(instead of the hang, which is hammered into shape from the inside-out, this has steel tongues cut to resonate at a certain tone. Similar, but different?)
Sooo, I think i'm going to get that.
A second windfall happened yesterday from grandparents, and with a previous kindness, i...actually have enough to afford such.
...it's hard to tell myself that 'it is okay to get myself a Nice Thing', instead of just saving and focusing on survival.
But i'm gonna get one. n..n;
@neonNeptunian Oh my goodness please do!!
You, @kelseyhusky and I can jam together! :D
Kelsey plays electric bass, and I've got a tin whistle and an electric guitar that I'm learning
