Wooden Hang

Status: concept packet

Design a handpan-inspired wooden idiophone / resonant-vessel hybrid that can be played in a circular lap layout while staying honest about wood behavior. The goal is not to reproduce the PANArt Hang or steel-handpan partial structure. The goal is to discover whether a wooden shell, bowl, or plate system can support musically useful note zones, playable sustain, and enough ergonomic clarity to justify a new instrument family.
