Hm, I thought it was quite over the top to tell people what they should or shouldn't do with the Hang in a musical sense. But making a contract where they have the right to buy it back from you in case you want to get rid of it, instead of grossly inflating used Hang prices on ebay -- I think that is a good and very anti-capitalist thing to do.

They say they can only make so many, demand is way higher, but they don't want a black market or raise the price.

I think that's reasonable. 

Controlling what and where people play it is a classic case of what buddhists call "attachment" and work hard to get rid off.
