Description

This Gangsa Semara Pagulingan has seven tones and is tuned to an old-fashioned tuning rather than the modern-style tuning. With seven tones, you can play traditional Balinese gamelan music in seven different five tone modes. Hear what classical semara pagulingan court music sounds buy buying Mekar Bhuana’s debut album.
