<p>A collection of small gongs (sometimes called &quot;kettles&quot; or &quot;pots&quot;) placed horizontally onto strings in a wooden frame (rancak), either one or two rows wide. All of the kettles have a central boss, but around it the lower-pitched ones have a flattened head, while the higher-pitched ones have a thicker head. Each is tuned to a specific pitch in the appropriate scale; thus there are different bonang for pelog and slendro. They are typically hit with padded sticks (tabuh). Two of the three types of bonangs in central Javanese gamelan include the bonang panerus which plays the fastest rhythms of the bonang, and the bonang barung, one of the most important instruments in the ensemble, as it gives many rhythmic accents and cues.</p> Signup and view all the answers

The appropriate kempul depends on the balungan, the pathet (mode), and other considerations.The gong ageng (Kromo Javanese meaning large gong, ngoko is gong gedhe) is the largest gong in the ensemble. It is used as to mark the largest phrases in the structure. In small structures, the gong ageng is used to mark larger groups than the smaller gong suwukan.
