| Sound Characteristics of Angklung |
|
The type of angklung that describe in this article is angklung
in diatonic scale found by Mr. Daeng Sutigna or also called as "angklung
Padaeng". The main part of angklung is the bamboo tube which sound
is produced. To play the instrument you only need to "shake" the angklung
and the instrument will produce "a note". When someone shakes the
instrument, the bamboo tube is being "hit" and produces sound. When
angklung is shaken in continuos frequency then the impression of bamboo
tube being hit is disappearing but it is still exist.
