In addition to his scholarly work in many fields related to the fields of music psychology and computer music, David Wessel was a gifted composer and a talented percussionist. In this presentation, I will mention my brief interactions with David as we looked at the acoustics of a unique musical instrument: the hand-played hang. The hang is an instrument inspired by the Caribbean steelpan which was popular for a time with many percussionists. After a few comments, we will remember David's musical legacy with some videos of his performances.
