Angklung

The angklung is a traditional musical instrument from Indonesia, composed of bamboo tubes attached to a frame. Each tube is tuned to a specific pitch, producing musical notes when shaken or struck. Played by groups, angklung creates harmonious melodies through coordinated movement, making it both musical and communal. Its resonant sound, warm tone, and cultural significance have made it an emblem of Indonesian heritage, often used in ceremonies, performances, and celebrations. The angklung’s simple yet expressive design allows for a rich musical experience, combining craftsmanship with the communal joy of making music together.
