Angklung
Each angklung consists of two or three bamboo tubes of differing lengths tuned
in octaves. The tubes are mounted in a frame so that a slot on each tube aligns
into a cross-piece that strikes the tube when the instrument is shaken.
Traditionally, large numbers of them are shaken for ceremonial dances. They
can also be played by a group of musicians, each of whom has one instrument of
differing pitch in each hand. The entire group performs a single melody in much
the same way as a handbell choir, with each performer shaking an angklung at
the appropriate time in the melody. It is also used to accompany the kuda
kepang dance found in the Malaysian state of Johor.
