Bali / Java Pelog

Finally I successfully finished my Java / Bali bamboo flute. In these photos I made them in Key F in octave no 4 (longer) and for some reason a Key A# / B Flat (shorter) in Pelog Scale - one of the scales famously used in Gamelan music beside the salendro scale. Listening to the high pitch of the Key A#, make your souls soar in the mountainous terraced-paddy field in the Indonesian country side. 

In this photo I attached the Key F as well for those who enjoy the lower and mellower sound. In addition I may also make them in Key C#, and Key E for a lower and mellower melancholic sound of the nature. Notice the placement of the tone holes and the size of each of them. It is comprised of 4 tone holes. However, for ease of thrilling, I intentionally incorporate another hole at the back (thumb hole). I hope you enjoy it , and if for any reason, I am contactable at mjrosman@gmail.com or +60193827279

I also attached some of the snap shots of the flute for your kind appreciation. Notice the placement of the tone holes and the size of each of them. It is comprised of 5 tone holes. Initially it was designed to have 4 holes instead. However for ease of thrilling, I intentionally create another hole to produce d# in Octave no 5.
