[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
One can commission high quality bronze gamelan from the region of Mocolaban near Solo (Surakarta) in Central Java. This is a thriving centre of village workshops, specialising in bronze gamelan forging, and catering in the first instance for the domestic Indonesian market.

The gamelan are made and tuned by skilled craftsmen and mounted on hand-carved wooden cases which can be painted in colours of your choice.

It was quite difficult taking this photo. Not much time not much light, no tripod.
Exposure compensation -1 2/3
