Yes, this is due to the scale, which is how many gamelan in Bali used to sound until gong kebyar come around. Now there are very few gamelan sets left like this. This instrument is called a terompong in Bali and our one has 17 pots, making it pretty challenging to play...

Thank you - I see you are a Javanese gamelan musician. Did you know that Balinese selonding music also probably originated in Java? You can view our selonding set and hear the 'Javanese like' tunings on other videos on our channel. Enjoy!
