===Javanese gamelan===
Javanese gamelan is a gamelan that originates and develops in the [[Central Java]] and [[East Java]], including the [[Special Region of Yogyakarta]] and [[Pura Mangkunegaran|Mangkunegaran Palace]] in [[Surakarta|Solo]]. In the Javanese palaces, the gamelan is divided into two, namely the gamelan pakurmatan and gamelan ageng. Gamelan pakurmatan is used for certain events or rituals in the royal environment. The gamelan pakurmatan set is not as complete as the ageng gamelan, and its shape and pitch are somewhat different from the traditional gamelan owned by the community. Gamelan pakurmatan consists of gamelan kodhok Ngorek, gamelan munggang, gamelan sekati, and gamelan carabalen, while gamelan ageng is the most complete gamelan used for various traditional ceremonies and events in the palace.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Mengenal Gamelan Keraton Yogyakarta|url=https://www.kratonjogja.id/benda/Gamelan/16/mengenal-gamelan-keraton-yogyakarta|access-date=16 December 2020|work=Keraton Yogyakarta|archive-date=28 December 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191228092603/https://www.kratonjogja.id/benda/gamelan/16/mengenal-gamelan-keraton-yogyakarta|url-status=dead}}</ref>

Gamelan outside the palace, owned by the general public, is usually the gamelan ageng, although it is not as complete as that of the palace, according to the needs and objectives of the gamelan ownership. The Javanese gamelan used by the communities has many kinds and types including the [[gamelan gadhon]], gamelan siteran, gamelan [[Wayang]], gamelan bambu, gamelan prawa, gamelan pelog, gamelan renteng, gamelan slendro, gamelan [[Banyuwangi]], and gamelan [[Madura]].

In oral Javanese culture distinctions are made between complete or incomplete, archaic and modern, and large standard and small village gamelan. The various archaic ensembles are distinguished by their unique combinations of instruments and possession of obsolete instruments such as the bell-tree (''byong'') in the 3-toned ''gamelan kodhok ngorek''. Regionally variable village gamelan are often distinguished from standard gamelan (which have the ''rebab'' as the main melodic instrument) by their inclusion of a double-reed wind (''selompret'', ''slompret'', or ''sompret'') in addition to variable drum and gong components, with some also including the shaken bamboo ''angklung''.<ref>Kartomi, Margaret (1990).

Gamelan in Javanese society is a product of local wisdom that has survived to this day. The long history that has been passed by Javanese gamelan is a cultural struggle that continues to be sustainable until now and in the future.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Gamelan Jawa: Cikal Bakal Gema Bunyi dari Masa Jawa Kuno|url=https://gubug-wayang.com/gamelan-jawa-cikal-bakal-gema-bunyi-dari-masa-jawa-kuno/|access-date=16 December 2020|work=Gubug Wayang|date=November 2018|archive-date=14 April 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210414045111/https://gubug-wayang.com/gamelan-jawa-cikal-bakal-gema-bunyi-dari-masa-jawa-kuno/|url-status=live}}</ref> Gamelan is inseparable from Javanese customs and human life, where gamelan is almost always there in every Javanese ceremony are held. Javanese gamelan is generally used to accompany dances, dance dramas, theater, puppets, rituals, events and festivals. Until then it developed in such a way that it was able to stand as a separate musical performance, complete with the accompaniment of the voices of the sindhen.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Sejarah Gamelan Jawa & Perkembangannya|url=https://www.kompasiana.com/dewisundari/591e558ac322bdfe0856a30b/sejarah-gamelan-jawa-perkembangannya|access-date=16 December 2020|work=kompasiana|date=19 May 2017|archive-date=19 January 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210119073954/https://www.kompasiana.com/dewisundari/591e558ac322bdfe0856a30b/sejarah-gamelan-jawa-perkembangannya|url-status=live}}</ref>

Most of the music rhythms are generally soft and reflect the harmony of life, as the principles of life are generally adopted by Javanese society. Some of them sound quickly according to the event or ritual being held or accompanied by the gamelan like gamelan [[Banyuwangi]] which has a faster tempo and uses high notes. Javanese gamelan has pelog and slendro tunings, if the pelog consists of notations 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 (ji, ro, lu, pat, mo, nem, tu), slendro has notation 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, i (ji, ro, lu, mo, nem, i).
