  2. Is that what they are referring to? I was wondering about that myself. But then it mentions a "pan player." Who would consider themselves a master of "pan?" Well, other than this guy, I guess.

    >who would consider themselves a master of pan...

    How about Andy Narell? Probably the most well known pan player...

  4. Pan, as in Pan Drum, as in Steel Drum. Obviously you're not fans of the instrument, but I want that controller bad. Shame it's priced for a small market.

    It's not really a steel drum shape though is it?

  5. "The PanKAT will continue to evolve."

    This means they're going out of business soon.
