Topic: Gamelan teranggannu


  
  Music of SouthEast Asia
This is also the case in Malaysia with various orchestras, the gamelan teranggannu, which mixes the sonorities of bronze, wood, and skins, and the nobat, which associates brass, reeds, and percussion skins.
Finally, it is the majesty of the Indonesian orchestras called the gamelan in Java and the gong in Bali.
They have become the apotheosis of bronze orchestras, but nevertheless they permit, in certain cases, the arrival of new timbres like the two-string bowed instrument (rebab) and the large zither with 22 to 26 strings (celempung), bamboo flutes (suling), or two-headed drums (kendang).
