A gamelan is a kind of tradisional musical ensemble of Indonesian. Featuring a variety of music instruments such as metallophones, xylophones, drums, and gongs, bamboo flutes, bowed and plucked strings, and vocalists may also be included. The term refers more to the set of instruments than the players of those instruments. A gamelan as a set of instruments is a distinct entity, built and tuned to stay together — instruments from different gamelan are not interchangeable.
"gamelan" comes from the Javanese language/word meaning to strike or hammer.
