Handpan hanger

A system for removably mounting a handpan to a substrate, wherein the system comprises:

• a hanger;
• wherein the hanger comprises at least one elongate member, wherein the at least one elongate member comprises:
• a substrate-mounting-region, wherein the substrate-mounting-region is attachable to the substrate or attachable to a landing strip, so that the hanger is mounted to the substrate;
• a handpan-engagement-region, wherein the handpan-engagement-region removably engages at least some portion of a cavity of the handpan;
• a hypotenuse-region, wherein the hypotenuse-region is disposed between the substrate-mounting-region and the handpan-engagement-region;
• wherein the hypotenuse-region is substantially linear;
• a first-bend, wherein the first-bend is disposed between the substrate-mounting-region and the hypotenuse-region, wherein the first-bend links the substrate-mounting-region to the hypotenuse-region;
• wherein the first-bend bends away from the substrate when the substrate-mounting-region is mounted to the substrate;
• a second-bend, wherein the second-bend is disposed between the hypotenuse-region and the handpan-engagement-region, wherein the second-bend links the hypotenuse-region to the handpan-engagement-region;
• wherein the at least one elongate member is substantially rigid;
• wherein when the hanger is mounted to the substrate, the handpan-engagement-region removably supports the handpan so the handpan is mounted in proximity to the substrate;
• wherein when the hanger is mounted to the substrate, a critical angle is formed between the substrate and the hypotenuse-region;
• wherein this critical angle is in a range of about 50 degrees to about 70 degrees;
• and
• a landing strip, wherein the landing strip is a planar member, wherein at least a portion of the landing strip is disposed between the hanger and the substrate, wherein the landing strip protects both the substrate and the handpan when the handpan is being removably supported by handpan-engagement-region of the hanger.
