What’s this musical instrument?

When I was at FUDCon Milan I came across a guy playing a weird musical instrument (see photo below). I haven’t seen it before and I have no idea how it is called, but the sound of it was just great. Is here anyone who knows what it is? Tell me. Thanks!

    A friend of mine referenced this type of instrument a few moths ago. Though it was pretty cool as well. It is called a Hang http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hang_(musical_instrument) though a few variations appear to exist due to availability. Vairous types can be seen on youtube being used or marketed.
