The Bundengan of Wonosobo, Indonesia

The bundengan is a unique traditional musical instrument with plucked strings from Wonosobo, Central Java, Indonesia. It can produce sounds that imitate the gong (i.e., a part of the gamelan instrument). The bundengan was initially constructed by duck herders as a means of shielding themselves from...
