Angklung is a musical instrument made out of two
bamboo
tubes attached to a bamboo frame. The tubes are carved so that they
have a resonant pitch when struck. The two tubes are tuned to
octaves.
The base of the frame is held with one hand while the other hand shakes
the instrument rapidly from side to side. This causes a rapidly
repeating note to sound. Thus each of three or more angklung performers
in an ensemble will play just one note and together complete melodies
are produced.
Angklung is popular throughout
Southeast Asia, but originated from
Indonesia (used and played by the
Sundanese since the ancient times).
