Gamelan is a set of traditional Indonesian instruments used used extensively in Central and Western Java, as well as in Bali. Its basis is formed by percussion instruments, but has as guest instruments celempung (a flat, plucked instrument), suling (a bamboo flute), and rabab (a two stringed, bowd lute).
