	Gamelan Degung
		Ada anggapan lain sementara orang bahwa kata Degung berasal dari kata ratu-agung atau tumenggung, seperti dimaklumi bahwa Gamelan Degung sangat digemari oleh para pejabat pada waktu itu, misalnya bupati Bandung R.A.A. Wiranatakusuma adalah salah seorang pejabat yang sangat menggemari Degung, bahkan beliaulah yang sempat mendokementasikan beberapa lagu Degung kedalam bentuk rekaman suara.
		Ada pula yang menyebutkan Degung berasal dari kata “Deg ngadeg ka nu Agung” yang mengandung pengertian kita harus senantiasa menghadap (beribadah) kepada Tuhan Yang Maha Esa.
		Gending-gending degung kemprangan dalam beberapa hal tidak ada bedanya dengan gamelan salendro, tetapi mempunyai kekhususan tertentu dalam lagunya, yaitu lagu-lagu yang jarang dipergunakan dalam gamelan salendro.

	Deep Down Productions - Articles - Gamelan - Gamelan-Degung
		Degung developed in the small courts of Sunda and, to the present day, it is associated in the minds of the Sundanese with aristocratic rituals and traditions.
		Its present instrumentation, with goong (a large hanging gong) and suling degung (a 4-hole bamboo flute which plays a prominent role in degung) is attributed to Pa Idi and colleagues of his generation, who began to be active around 1920.
		Degung's core repertoire consists of roughly 60 pieces, many of which are closely linked through characteristic melodic (particularly cadential) and rhythmic patterns.

	Gamelan degung at AllExperts
		Gamelan Degung is a Sundanese musical ensemble that utilises a subset of modified gamelan instruments with a particular mode of pelog scale.
		In classical degung, bonang conducts the whole ensemble and is therefore rarely absent, except in certain modern compositions.
		With a slight modification from Javanese one, bonang in gamelan degung is composed of two rows of seven horizontal bulbous gongs, each row is placed at the left- and right side of its player.

	gamelan degung
		For the Sundanese, gamelan degung is an important expression of their cultural identity, quite different from the gamelan traditions of Java and Bali (which are perhaps better known overseas).
		Gamelan degung emerged during the 19th century in the courts of the Sundanese regents, who ruled under the Dutch colonial regime.
		Gamelan degung is tuned to a pentatonic scale, pelog degung, which approximates to the pitches Ab G Eb Db C. Some pieces use the sorog tuning: Ab G F Db C. The tuning is changed by exchanging the appropriate bars or gong chimes on each instrument.

	Sekar Enggal: audio examples
		A traditional opening piece from the aristocratic degung klasik repertoire, based on an instrumental framework of two notes (roughly C and Eb), each marked by the gong.
		This arrangement, by Koestyara, of a traditional degung klasik melody, became popular through the radio and cassette industries about twenty years ago.
		Here, instead of a song, the suling plays two Landangan (solo melodies) contrasting the long and short models: suling tembang and suling degung.
