		Evidence of a gambang type instrument, with either wood or bamboo bars, can be found in the drawings on the walls of old temples, such as in the 9th century Buddhist Borobudur monument in Central Java and the 14th century Panataran temple in East Java.
		The choice of a multi-octave gambang to be incorporated into a full set of gamelan may be because of its suitability to accommodate a wider melodic range of gendhing.
		The gambang is one of the two instruments that have the widest melodic range (rebab is the other); hence, the melody of gambang can encompass the full melodic range of any composition.

		The pelog barang gambang and slendro gender must have tumbuk 6 (pitch "B" in the score).
		The music itself is extremely difficult, but Gino Forlin also had to learn to "tranpose" the staff notation onto the two instruments, each of which has its own mallet and damping techniques.
		Gino’s ingenuity, dedication and virtuosity in learning and performing this piece amazed me, and I have always enjoyed simply watching him play it: mallets flying (accurately) between the two instruments (he raises the gambang so that the keys are level with the gender), and damping with everything from the mallets themselves to his elbows.

	The Annual Glebe Music Festival
		Created in the 1930s, Gambang is a one-movement instrumental work frequently used to bridge a lull in proceedings at official functions, for example when waiting for important guests to arrive.
		The title, Gambang, refers to the fact that the principal melody is set in the characteristic syncopated rhythm of the sacred gamelan gambang ensemble (see 4 above).
		Apart from its irresistible melody, another 'earcatching' feature of Gambang is the complex melodic figuration executed on reong, an array of twelve tuned gongs suspended horizontally on a long wooden frame and played by up to four people.

		Gambang kromong, named for the gambang xylophone, is a regional Jakarta sound that goes back as far as the 1700s.
		The ensemble sound is long since out of style with the urban cultural elite, but it's still favored by fishermen, jitney drivers, laborers, peddlers, and factory hands in towns surrounding the enormous capital.
		The rest of the program offers a delightfully discordant hodgepodge of elements, right through to the concluding number in which European brass band instruments and a violin play interlocking melodies over aggressive Sundanese percussion.

		Since it would appear that the instrumentation conceived by Harrison is more closely aligned with that described by Heins, the rincik listed in the score is probably this metallophone and not the gong chime described by Kunst.
		The gambang specified by Harrison is not listed by either Heins or Kunst; there is a photograph in Kunst of a gamelan degung that shows an eleven-keyed idiophone labeled as "gambang gangsa (saron)" (1949: 453).
		It is not possible to tell if the keys are wood or bronze, but the player appears to be using a single hammer and to be damping with his other hand.
