Sliding tube-rattle
This rattle instrument produces sounds when the bamboo sticks are shaken together. During the Dutch colonial period (1596-1949), playing it was banned for fear of creating a rebellion melody. Since then it has not been an integral part of the gamelan, but is played in pure angklung orchestras. The angklung is listed by UNESCO as an intangible world cultural heritage of Indonesia.
