In Javanese mythology, the gamelan was created in Saka era c. He needed a signal to summon the gods, and thus invented the gong. For more complex messages, he invented two other gongs, thus forming the original gamelan set. New World Encyclopedia. Most of the instruments are made from cast bronze and are in the shape of hanging gongs gong, kempul and racked gongs bonang and kenong which look like gongs lying on their backs with the boss facing up towards the ceiling.

There are metallophones saron which are like xylophones but made from metal, in this case, bronze polished to a gleaming luster and drums kendhang played with the hands. Gamelan Suprabanggo is a complete gamelan which means that it has instruments tuned in both the 5-tone Slendro and the 7-tone Pelog scales or laras.

If you are trying to figure out which is which, laras pelog has some intervals that are nearly as small as half-steps while slendro has none. The feeling of the ensemble is cooperative, and no one instrument dominates.

The instruments of the gamelan are divided into three classes according to their musical function: the structural instruments, the melody instruments and the elaborating instruments. The structure and rhythm is articulated by gongs of various sizes. The fast-playing instruments, kempyang and kethuk, keep a regular beat. The larger gongs, kempul and kenong, are used to mark recurring points in each musical cycle.

The largest gong, the gong ageng, represents the largest time cycle and generally indicates that that section will be repeated, or the piece will move on to a new section, or will end.

The main, or skeletal, melody, called balungan, is generally played by instruments made up of tuned metal bars. These are the saron family and the slenthem. The panerusan,or elaborating instruments, play variations on the balungan, or melody.
