What are some percussion instruments similar to a hang drum?

Im trying to find an alternative percussion instrument to the hang drum. I cant find where to order one anywhere, and to get them made costs over $1000 where i found them. Does anyone know any cheaper percussion instruments similar to the hang drum? The link below is to a youtube video of what a hang drum is. Thanks!!!!!

Oooo, I love hang drums. A steel pan drum sounds sort of similar, and so does a singing bowl. But no instrument can even come close to the beauty of the hang. Sadly the only way to get them is off of eBay, or to write the Swiss makers a letter requesting one.

Note on getting a steel pan or a hang:

Since a steel pan is probably the most similar in sound to the hang, I figure I’d give you this advice. If you end up ordering either instrument, BE VERY CAREFUL. Since both are made out of specially formed metal, one dent in them will throw it out of tune to the point where you actually have to send it in and pay a hefty fee ($500 or more), to get it melted down and reformed again. This is a very big problem when learning steel pan drum, as you play with mallets, and when you’re starting out, you generally want to play harder.

Hope this helps.
