Saleresna urang Malaysia nyalira ngangken, yen Angklung teh asalna ti Indonesia, hususna West Java. "The Angklung is a musical instrument originating in Indonesia. The region most famous for the Angklung is West Java. The Angklung is not made with any metal or nails whatsoever. It is made wholly of bamboo, from the main body of the Angklung to its stand. The Angklung comes in various sizes, the small ones are household ornaments, medium and large sized Angklungs are usually used for orchestras. A complete set comprises 85 Angklungs. Most Angklungs play a single note. The interval between differently-sized bamboo tubes on each Angklung is one octave. The playing of the Angklung involves shaking the instrument rapidly to produce a continuous note, or shaking it very briefly to produce a pizzicato-like note.
