Angklung Klentangan

Angklung Klentangan

An old incomplete set of Angklung Klentangan keys and pots that we acquired in 2016 and is likely up to 100 years old, this set needs to have casings made, as well as completed with the following instruments to make it faithful to the old style of Angklung that was more common at the turn of the 20th century: 1 kempur, 1 klenang, 1 ceng-ceng ricik, 1 kajar, 1 pair of cetungan Angklung kendang, 1 set of bamboo rattles, 1 terompong with eight pots. 1 cungklik and 1 grantang. Estimated restoration is around USD5,000. Donate today to be part of this wonderful restoration project that will serve to educate young Balinese about their lost gamelan traditions!

Our Semara Patangian ensemble in New Zealand is unique because it is the only one of its kind outside of Bali with the old-fashioned key order and instrumentation.
Our first Semara Patangian (Pelegongan ) set is at Mekar Bhuana Centre in Bali. It is an antique, very complete ensemble that Vaughan Hatch acquired in 1999.
In 2019, we restored and reconstructed a very unusal Angklung set from Lombok we have called ‘Semara Kirang’ because of its tuning, where it has four sweet tones with the lowest one missing.
Purchased in 2015, our second Selonding set is based in New Zealand and is modelled on the Bugbug formation that has 48 keys. It is smaller than our more complete set in Bali and has a lower and different tuning. It is the only one of this type outside of Indonesia as all active sets overseas are based on the common Tenganan Pegringsingan model.
The Seven-tone Semara Pagulingan set in New Zealand also partly old but has a higher tuning than our one in Bali. The ensemble is both smaller in instrumentation as well as dimensions of the keys, pots and casings.
Our Six-tone Semara Pagulingan is not yet complete, as we still need to fundraise more to make the ornate wooden casings, the design of which we would like to base on the only other Six-tone Semara Pagulingan orchestra in the world.
