	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-A-DING-DONG

		I have come across tales of the gamelan jegog, built from giant bamboo trees that grow only in the west of Bali, and of the gamelan gong bheri, played by bowler-hatted musicians on gongs saved from a shipwreck, but such few recordings as there are of these styles are impossible to find.
		And as for the other styles - the gong bheri had disbanded, the 24 flutes of the suling gamelan of Batuan (they imitate birdsong, said their leader) had just lost their only regular gig and the kendang maburung was locked up in it's shed and no-one had the key.

		Gamelan is actually the Javanese word for the bronze instruments, and the music probably came over from Java around the fourteenth century, but the Balinese duly adapted it to suit their own personality, and now the sounds of the Javanese and Balinese gamelan are distinctive even to the untrained ear.
		In most communities, the sekeha is open to men only (the all-female gamelan of Peliatan is a rare experience), but has no restriction on age, welcoming keen players of any standard and experience between the ages of about eight and eighty.
		Although the gamelan kebyar is currently by far the most fashionable style of music in Bali, and therefore the most common type of orchestra.
