Handpan

I was sitting outside the Xiangshan MRT station waiting for my friend to do some hiking together on Elephant Mountain. A man sat down near me, took out his handpan and started playing. I had never seen that instrument before and was really curious. We started a conversation and he too was waiting for a friend to hike Elephant Mountain. Both of our friends arrived at the same time and the 4 of us decided to hike together. When we took breaks David took out his handpan and played. I got David’s contact information and some information about his instrument. I thought of ways of how a harmonica could be played with it. I invited David over to my place to jam. Check out the photos of the hike and video made later to hear how we sounded. All improvised one take.
