10. May 2011 - PANArt is discontinuing tuning service for Hang

“Thanks to the pang material, a tuner as required for steel pans in Trinidad has become obsolete. Therefore, we are discontinuing our tuning service. It rests within each Hang player’s responsibility to take care of the sound-scape of his instrument and not to destroy it through sheer force or by beating on it with mallets, etc. This has been the case for most of the instruments which were brought to us for tuning during the last few years. However, we do offer repair and maintenance service in the isolated case of an accident.”
