Gendér
A gendér is a type of
metallophone used in
Balinese and
Javanese gamelan music. It consists of 10 to 14 tuned
metal bars suspended over a tuned resonator of bamboo or metal, which are tapped with a
mallet made of wooden disks (Bali) or a padded wooden disk (Java). Each key is a note of a different pitch, often extending a little more than two octaves. There are five notes per octave, so in the seven-note
pélog scale, some pitches are left out according to the
pathet. Most gamelans include three gendér, one for
slendro, one for pelog pathet nem and lima, and one for pelog pathet barang.
