Indonesian gambang (xylophone), played by gamelan artist Mas Midiyanto

Celebrated gamelan artist Mas Midiyanto visited MIM to play the instruments on display at our Indonesia Gamelan exhibit, including this gambang (xylophone) decorated with dragon, flower, and leaf motifs. Originating in the royal courts of Indonesia, each gamelan ensemble is one of a kind and can consist of thick-keyed metallophones, rows of hanging gongs and kettle gongs, drums, xylophones, and more.

I really love how those wooden bars sound!

Would love to try an orchestral xylophone but beaten using the Gambang's mallets, the sound of it sounds more softer and pleasant due to the fabric-wrapped mallets.
