Turns karinding instrument not only as a means to repel deserted at night but also serves to repel pests. The sound produced by the instrument karinding make rice pests at bay as painful for these pests. 

Why Karinding Able to Produce a Sound That Can Repel Pests? 
The sound produced in the form of vibrations that are not so clearly audible to the human ear, the science of sound, the sound is entered into the category of low decibel noise, that this vibration can only be heard by the type of animal and insect types, supposedly this is what is known now as the ultrasound.

Even apart from that no application plays karinding in Apple Store. In addition, several high schools in the city of Bandung.

Musical Instruments Angklung of Bandung West Java


Traditional musical instrument Angklung explanation derived from the Sundanese people of West Java. Angklung is a musical instrument double pitched are made of bamboo. How to play it quite easy just to swing. The resulting sound is caused by the clash of bamboo pipe body. The resulting sound vibrates in the composition of tones 2, 3, up to 4 tones in any size, large or small.


Dictionary of the Sunda Language by Jonathan Rigg, which was published in 1862 in Batavia, wrote that Angklung is a musical instrument made of bamboo pipes, cut edges, resembling the pipes in an organ, and tied together in a frame, vibrated to produce sound. Angklung is listed as Masterpieces of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO since November 2010.


Origin
Have not found the manual states since when angklung is used, but is thought to have been used in the form of primitive Neolithic culture that flourished in the archipelago until the beginning of the modern calendar, so angklung is part of the relics of the pre-Hinduism in the culture of the archipelago.


Notes on new emerging angklung refer to the Kingdom of Sunda (12th century until the 16th century). The origin of the creation of bamboo music, such as angklung based worldview Sundanese agrarian society with the source of life of rice (bitter melon) as a staple food. This gave rise to the myth of confidence in Sri Pohaci Nual as a symbol of the goddess of rice giver of life. Baduy, which is a native Sundanese people, using angklung as part of ritual began planting rice.


Material
Bamboo is used as the material is bamboo angklung is black (awi wulung) and white bamboo (awi friend). Each tone of the sound produced from bamboo tube-shaped bamboo slats each segment of small to large.


Function
The kingdom of Sunda, angklung used them as encouragement in battle. Angklung as the pumping function spirit of the people still felt until the colonial period, thats why the Dutch government had banned the public use of angklung, the ban could make angklung popularity declined and only played by children at that time.


Furthermore, songs offerings to Dewi Sri is accompanied by the sound of percussion accompaniment made of bamboo sticks are packed simple then was born the structure of bamboo musical instrument we know today named angklung. Similarly, during the harvest festival and Seren Taun dedicated game angklung. Especially in the presentation ceremony Angklung related to rice, this art into a nature show procession or helaran, even in some places into the motorcade Rengkong and Dongdang and jampana (stretchers food) and so on.
How to play angklung quite practically easy as staying holding frame on one hand (usually the left hand) so angklung hang freely, while the other hand (usually the right hand) shake up reads. In this case, there are three basic techniques to shake angklung:

  1. Kurulung (shakes), is the most common technique used, where the right hand holding the tube base and moving from side to side several times during the tone to be played.
  2. Centok (jerky), is a technique whereby a basic tube is pulled quickly by the fingers into the palm of the right hand, so angklung will beep once (staccato).
  3. Tengkep, much like kurulung but one vibrating tube is not retained. In Angklung melody, this technique causes the angklung mengeluarka pure tone (one tone melody only, not two as usual). Meanwhile the major accompaniment angklung, this technique is used to play a major chord (3 tonnes), because if not ditengkep that termainkan is dominant chord septim (4 tonnes). Meanwhile to play angklung unit to bring a song, it will take a lot of musicians, led by a conductor. On each musician will be distributed one to four angklung with different tones. That is a brief description of traditional angklung musical instrument from West Java.

Indonesian Traditional Music


Traditional music is music or sound art from different regions, in this case in Indonesia. Traditional music is music that was born and developed in a particular area and passed down through generations from one generation to the next. Music is the language, style, and typical local tradition. In general, traditional music is characterized as follows: 

Learned In Oral 
As part of the culture, folk music passed down from generation to generation. This musical inheritance process is usually done verbally. The older generation teaches music composition area to the younger generation. The children will also forward it to their children. And so on, so that the music tradition still known by the public. Or a person who has been adept at playing a musical instrument or sing skilled folk songs will give an example to his followers for later imitated. People who learn to be memorized without any notes. With practice, it will dominate more and more songs and techniques.
Do not Have Notation 

The learning process that takes place verbally make the score (manuscript music) into something that is not too important. Therefore, it is quite common for traditional music notation area does not have a specific scores. However, there are some areas that have musical notation as in Java and Bali. However, this still does not have a notation scores, but learned orally. Actually, it can cause problems in the future. If the people who are learning about the arts to be little or no, the arts could become extinct. Without written records, other people can not preserve it.
Informal nature 

Traditional music is very commonly used as a form of public expression. This music is widely used in the activities of ordinary people that are more simple and informal/casual. Only if used in the palace with this kind of music became more complex and formal/serious. 

No Players Specialised 
The system developed in the process of learning a musical instrument usually generalization area. Traditional music players learn to be able to play every instrument that exists in a kind of folk music. They will learn to play instruments ranging from the easiest to the most difficult. So, players who have advanced regional music has the ability to play all the musical instruments.
Regional Speak song lyric 

In addition to the use of vernacular poetry, traditional music also uses melody and rhythm that showed the hallmark of regionalism. For example, the lyrics of Java. Strains of the melody was using tones of scales pelog and slendro. As another example, the lyrics of the Jakarta area generally speaking Batavia and strains of melody composed of ladder-diatonic scales. 

More Engaging Local Musical Instruments 
Generally, the game music in the folk songs sung in Indonesian musical instruments typical of the regions themselves. Example, Java-track songs are generally accompanied by musical instruments typical of Java, namely gamelan. As another example, songs North Sulawesi region generally accompanied by musical instruments typical of North Sulawesi, namely Kulintang. 

Is Part Of The Cultural Society 
Traditional music is a form of culture that developed in the life of society. Therefore, every feature of the public culture of his creator must have been firmly attached therein. Folk music is a form of cultural overview of an area, in addition to dance, clothing, and other customs. Through local music, we can identify the origin and characteristics of the music culture of the people. For example: when we listen to the Javanese gamelan we will immediately find out if it is the music of Central Java, instead of Sunda.
