The angklung is a musical instrument from indonesia made of two to four bamboo tubes attached to a bamboo frame. The tubes are carved to have a resonant pitch when struck and are tuned to octaves. The base of the frame is held in one hand, whilst the other hand strikes the instrument. This causes a repeating note to sound. Each of three or more performers in an angklung ensemble play just one note or more, but altogether complete melodies are produced. The angklung is popular throughout Southeast Asia, but it originated in what is now West Java and Banten provinces in Indonesia, and has been played by the Sundanese for many centuries. Angklung and its music has become the cultural identity of Sundanese communities in West Java and Banten.〔Spiller, Henry (2004). ''Gamelan: The Traditional Sounds of Indonesia, Volume 1'', p.140. ABC-CLIO. ISBN 9781851095063. "Angklung has become a veritable symbol of Sundanese culture."〕 Playing angklung as an orchestra requires cooperation and coordination, and is believed promotes the values of teamwork, mutual respect and social harmony.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.unesco.org/culture/ich/en/RL/00393 )〕 On November 18, 2010, UNESCO officially recognized Indonesian angklung as a Masterpiece of Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity, and encourage Indonesian people and government to safeguard, transmit, promote performances and to encourage the craftsmanship of angklung making.〔 == Etymology == The word "angklung" was originated from Sundanese ''"angkleung-angkleungan"'', that means the movement of angklung player and the sound "klung" that comes from the instrument.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Angklung : Harmony in a Bamboo Orchestra )〕 Another theory suggested that the word "angklung" was formed from two Balinese words – ''angka'' and ''lung''. ''Angka'' means "tone", and ''lung'' means "broken" or "lost". Angklung thus means an "incomplete tone".〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Angklung」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
