	Gamelan
		Gamelan orchestras are common to the islands of Java, Madura, Bali, and Lombok (and other Sunda Islands) in Indonesia in a wide variety of ensemble sizes and formations.
		In addition, there are gamelan ensembles composed entirely of bamboo-keyed instruments, of zithers, or of unaccompanied voices with the functions of metallophones or gongs in the metal ensemble transferred to surrogates.
		A peculiarity of gamelans is that, although the intervals between notes in a scale are very close to identical for different instruments within each gamelan, the intervals vary from one gamelan to the next.

	Gamelan - Wikipedia
		Tradizioni di gamelan si sono stabilite in Malaysia e Suriname grazie all'emigrazione, al commercio o alla diplomazia, e, in tempi più recenti, attraverso l'immigrazione, lo scambio culturale e l'entusiasmo locale, i gruppi gamelan sono diventati attivi in Europa, America, Asia e Australia.
		Anche se i gruppi gamelan includono certe volte voci soliste e corali, strumenti musicali a corda pizzicata o suonata con l'archetto e strumenti a fiato, sono rimarcabili per il gran numero di strumenti a percussione, in particolar modo strumenti a percussione in metallo.
		Esistono, inoltre, gruppi gamelan composti interamente di strumenti di bambù, di cetre, o di voci non accompagnate da strumenti, con le funzioni dei metallofoni o dei gong negli altri gruppi trasferite a surrogati.
