When i was in Granada in Spain in June in the evening a street performer played music on an instrument he called "the hand" that he had to get from Switzerland.
It was about 2 feet wide disk, about 1 foot deep, hollow and with about 3 holes on the bottom. He played it sitting cross legged with it in his lap by hitting it with his hands.
It was like some kind of drum but rather than short, sharp noises it was flowing, melodious sound that echod around.
I want to know where i can find one of these instruments and where i can find some recorded music that has been played on one of these insturments and also, if possible, the correct name for it!
Thanks!

Oh! The 'hand' was made of metal!
Cheers!

Well, I've never heard of anything similar. I just tried to find some results in Google, but no chance...
I only can recommend you to contact the most renowned Swiss company for instruments and music - they surely will reply to an e-mail in English.
