This instrument is remarkable. I watched the following video on YouTube and thought it was a hoax until I did some investigating and found that two Swiss craftsman (Felix Rohner and Sabina Schärer) designed this melodious percussive steel instrument based largely on the steel drum of calypso fame.

Unfortunately demand has far exceeded the production capacity of this hand-crafted instrument and they can only be acquired by visiting the Hanghaus in Bern, Switzerland.
