Gamelan lesson

Let's play the gamelan!

In Indonesia, there is an peculiar orchestra called "Gamelan".
And this is the main instrument "Gansa".
One day when we play the Gansa in the gazebo of Puri Lukisan Museum,
a guard man came up and gave us a small lesson on how to play a short tune.
It was very interesting
and that is why my husband was going to receives a Gamelan lesson formally.

Gansa

The sound is very high and echoes very much.
So, while you struck keys one by one with your right hand,
you should touch the previous keys one by one with your left hand
in order to stop the echo.
Otherwise the echoes would be all mixed up.
But it is very difficult to do it quickly.
