Kandun

Kandun is a traditional musical instrument from the Balinese region of Indonesia. It is a type of gong, typically made from bronze or brass, and is known for its deep, resonant sound. The instrument is often used in Balinese gamelan ensembles, where it provides a foundational rhythm and harmony. Kandun is usually played by striking it with a mallet, and its sound is often used to signal the beginning or end of a performance. The instrument's design varies, but it generally features a circular shape with a central boss and a flat surface. Kandun is an essential component of Balinese music and culture, reflecting the island's rich musical heritage.
