Thanks to music professor and expert gamelan player Elizabeth Clendinning, Wake Forest is the owner of a rare, custom designed, hand-carved, hand-painted gamelan commissioned by the University and made in Bali – the most famous of Indonesia’s 17,000 islands. The University owns two types of gamelan, together consisting of approximately 45 instruments including gongs, keyed percussion instruments, drums and flutes. About 20-25 people can play at once. Both gamelan are portable and can be moved to accommodate indoor or outdoor concerts.
