Other Balinese gamelan

Gamelan semar pegulingan

A sweetly-sounding seven-toned gamelan which dates from the 17th century.

Similar in size and appearance to gong kebyar.

See the article on semar pegulingan

Gamelan semara dana

A new genre of Balinese music, which might be thought of as a cross-fertilisation of gong kebyar with older seven-tone music and modal techniques.

The instruments have seven tones which means an enormous range of music can be played. Similar in size and appearance to gong kebyar.
