This stuff is awesome. I loved the Hang Drum solo and the Bodhran. The Hurdy Gurdy sounded absolutely nothing like I expected it to from the Youtube freezeframe.

Edit: the hang looks awesome. From what I've read, though, it's damn hard to get a hold of one short of going to Switzerland and buying it (for $1500+) directly from PANArt, the people who make them.

as it happens I was attending a festival where this amazing band played: http://www.myspace.com/valravn

displaying the use of the hurdy gurdy, dual flutes, jew harp, Cajón and other unusual instruments.

give it a listen.
