*This item involves duplicate musical instruments. The 1972-1973 Basel research team purchased one complete gambang ensemble and two selunding (one modeled on instruments in Bungaya, the other modeled on instruments in Tenganan), in part to facilitate recording. All recordings of gambang and selunding made in 1973 involved these duplicate instruments. The selunding modeled after instruments in Bungaya and the gambang modeled after instruments in Asak were stored in Amlapura. The selunding modeled after instruments in Tenganan was kept at Urs Ramseyer’s residence in Iseh, Sidemen, but no recordings were made.

Recording of the tuning of all gambang instruments.
