Guy Jackson successfully crowdfunded over R1 million on Indiegogo.<\/p>\n
Jackson hoped to fund a new instrument, the Lumen<\/a><\/strong> electronic handpan, inspired by the steel Hang handpan.<\/p>\n Jackson found there was a market for these handpans because of how difficult they had become to obtain online.<\/p>\n \u201cA second-hand Hang\u2026 has been seen on eBay for over $9,000. Even modern acoustic alternatives sell for upward of $2,000.\u201d<\/p>\n Being electronic, the Lumen is able to change key and even the instrument that is being reproduced.<\/p>\n It will also offer audio and MIDI outputs, 4 or more hours of playing, and charging via USB.<\/p>\n Although the products initial run has currently sold out, you can still contribute and purchase from the campaign here.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n
