Baleganjur is known as Bali’s marching gamelan orchestra, as in its more simplified bebonangan form it was once used to in battle formation. It is perhaps the loudest, energetic and most furious of all Balinese gamelan orchestras. Baleganjur sets are used at many ceremonies and also for secular events, to welcome guests, for processions and for competitions. These sets are great as ‘starter sets’ for schools and universities, as an introduction to the exciting rhythms of Balinese music. This is a high quality complete bronze set made up of 21 instruments.
