Tabuh Telu Tabanan

In this clip the music director of the project, Made Sukanda, performs the primary melody for Tabuh Telu Tabanan on one of the primary melodic instruments in a gamelan gong kebyar orchestra. Note that Made uses only one mallet, called a pangul. His other hand is used to mute the notes once they are struck. This playing technique is essential since each bronze bar can resonate for almost 30 seconds. The muffling technique; therefore, permits each note to sound clearly before the next melodic note in the sequence is played.
