The bundengan is a musical instrument with plucked strings and percussion elements, practiced on the island of Java in Indonesia.
Description
Bundengan is a traditional musical instrument from the Wonosobo region in Central Java, Indonesia.[1] It combines plucked strings and percussion-like elements and is constructed using woven bamboo material called kowangan used as a shelter or shield by duck herders.[2] When the kowangan is converted into a bundengan, strings are attached inside the woven body, and thin bamboo blades are inserted into its lattice structure to supplement the sound.[1]
