About this Item

Mahogany saron, 'Indonesian Glory' by Ading

Size	:	22.8 inches W x 8.3 inches H x 5.1 inches D
Weight	:	10.85 pounds
Materials	:	Mahogany and brass
Additional Info	:	Instrument Rating: Beginner/Student quality, intended for casual use

Using rich mahogany wood, Ading creates this handsome saron (a type of xylophone), also called gangsa jongkok. It is the basic melodic instrument in the gamelan, an energetic orchestra at the center of Indonesia's art-music tradition. The importance of the gamelan goes well beyond the pleasure of music and into the realm of ritual ceremony; each instrument in the ensemble is considered a work of art and an object of devotion.

Ading first carves the wood by hand. He then lays the brass keys over the wooden trough resonator and holds them in place with posts. Finally, the instrument is lavishly decorated with gold leaf paint. A mahogany mallet, which is included, is used to play this beautiful and sonorous instrument.

Suggested Retail: US $210.95

Customer Reviews of Ading
The kalimba created by Ading is beautiful. You can tell by the workmanship that he is a very talented man. My service was fast - I look forward to learning to play this traditional instrument. My only suggestion is that instructions on how-to play be included in the shipment. One last thing, the gift wrap was beautiful. I hated to disturb it. la
