Metal Drum Musical Mystery Instrument

[Mystery solved! Thanks to Eric, whose friend has a PhD in drumming, ID'd it as a "Hang", an instrument developed in Bern, Switzerland!]

 

There is a music school at the University. Many of the students and teachers supplement their incomes by busking.

 

This instrument is tapped and sounds something like a steel drum being played, but more mellow and richer. I loved this enough to take a long video of him playing. The sound is haunting.
