Application Description

The tingklik is a traditional Balinese musical instrument.

Crafted from bamboo, it resembles a series of blades and is played by striking these blades with a paddle, also known as a tingklik pelvis. A tingklik gamelan ensemble typically includes two instruments: the tingklik polos and the tingklik sangsih. A single tingklik instrument can feature anywhere from eleven to twenty-five bamboo blades, the exact number determined by the musical scale employed. The instrument is played using both hands; the right hand generally handles the kotekan (melody), while the left hand plays the bun (rhythm). Occasionally, the right hand might also play the sangsih part, with the left hand taking on the polos role.
