     Most of the gamelan is theoretically tuned to one four-
tone "scale," consisting, of scale degrees 1, 2, 3, and 5 of
a  diatonic  major  scale.   However,  the  actual pitch may
vary from, say,  _A _m_a_j_o_r in the low register,  to _B_b in high
registers,  with  all  sorts  of  microtones  along the way.
Hence I  have labeled the tuned instruments  from  1  to  4,
indicating  only  their place in the  4-note scale.   If you
need to know the actual pitch of a particular instrument,  a
list follows:

     Note also that on many of the instruments the pitch has
a beautiful habit of slowly rising a bit, so take this  list
of pitches with a grain of salt.

_a_n_k_l_u_n_g_._1   a4 [1/6 tone flat]  Wooden rattles

The 16 shorter _a_n_g_k (angklung) soundfiles include a complete
diatonic major scale of single shakes from _d_f_5  to  _d_f_6  and
also a short roll on each of these notes.

_s_u_l_i_n_g       The names of these bamboo flute soundfiles indicate
their approximate pitches, which often deviate from Western tuning.

A  total of twenty one short _s_a_r_o_n  (metal xylophone) sound
files, in  two  timbral  groups  (_s_a_r_o_n_1  and  _s_a_r_o_n_2)   are
pitched between _c_s_5 and _f_s_6.
