This beautiful, new gamelan gong kebyar orchestra is hand made by craftsmen from Pande Mustika’s workshop in Klungkung, Bali. A family business that stretches by hundreds of years, his family was one of the first to make bronze orchestras, including sets for royal families during feudal times. Notably, his grandfather crafted the exquisite semara pagulingan set from Kamasan, Klungkung in the 1920s.

We are aware that purchasing gamelan orchestras or instruments from overseas can be a complicated and frustrating process without professional experience and fluid communication on the ground in Bali. This is why we make the utmost effort to personalise your purchase and supervise the quality of the craftsmanship, tuning and handling of all instruments before they are shipped to your door. Quality control is carried out personally by Balinese gamelan researcher and longtime Bali resident, Vaughan Hatch, who is also the co-founder of Mekar Bhuana. This expertise is included in the price of all our orchestras and instruments, and justifies the price you are paying to have professional instruments that will last you a life-time.
