Editing Gamelan (section)

===Sundanese gamelan===
The Sundanese gamelan is one of the typical gamelan ensembles from [[West Java]] and [[Banten]] province (Tatar [[Pasundan]] ) in Indonesia. In the manuscript [[Sanghyang Siksa Kandang Karesian]], the art of gamelan is estimated to have entered in the 16th century. The text describes a contemporary gamelan player called K''umbang Gending'' and a musical expert called ''Paraguna''. Sundanese gamelan is also called [[Degung]]. The word ''Degung'' is said to have originated from the word "Ratu-agung" or "Tumenggung", since at the time, Gamelan Degung was very popular with officials. There are three types of Sundanese gamelan, including:
*Gamelan salendro. This is usually used to accompany wayang performances, dances, and cliningan. Because it is often used in the performing arts, the salendro gamelan is also a popular gamelan among other gamelan types.
*Gamelan renteng. This gamelan developed in several places, one of which is in Batu Karut, Cikalong. Based on the form and intervals of the gamelan renteng, there is an opinion that most likely the current Sundanese gamelan started from the gamelan renteng.
*Gamelan ketuk tilu. This gamelan is usually used to accompany the arts of ketuk tilu, ronggeng gunung, ronggeng ketuk, doger, and topeng banjet.

Outside the main core of [[Java]] and [[Bali]], the gamelan has spread through migration and cultural interest, with new styles sometimes resulting. The variety of gamelan can be found in over 25 countries outside Indonesia, presenting both traditional and experimental repertoire.
