Balinese Rindik instrument

Rindik is a traditional Balinese musical instrument made of bamboo. It looks like a wooden xylophone but uses bamboo tubes instead of wood or metal.
Players hit the bamboo tubes with special soft mallets to make a soft, calming, and happy sound.

Rindik is play for dancing and entertainment rather than ceremonies. Balinese usually play the rindik as welcoming music for the guests in a wedding ceremony. Rindik sounds softer, sweeter and quieter than bronze ensembles of metal gamelan. The combination of two rindik and a flute is consider excellent for all occasions.
