Pan Kat Synth Steel Drum

via this auction

"Synthesized Steel Drum / Steel Pan... It also has other patches and more than 50 other instruments, but the main deal is the steel pan; it's laid out like an actual steel drum, and the sounds are better than any synth pan I've ever heard. From one side to the other it is 30 inches. Only used twice in the studio.

The PanKat comes with the manual, the stand, power adapter, mallets, and will be shipped in a lined, padded steelpan case. This thing is perfect for recording... no need to "touch up" or find a tuner to play it anytime.

RETAIL on this item was $2100; we purchased it for $1800."
