Sunda has a unique musical instrument which has been famous in the world. It is made from a bamboo, played by shaking it and we played it such an orchestra. It is Angklung. But what we want to talk about here is the prototype of Angklung. It is “Calung”.

There are two types of Calung that Sundanese established. First is “Calung Runtuy”. Calung Runtuy is Calung which its bamboo was bond each other with a rope and sometimes it put at a piece of wood and we play it by punching it with a stick such a five centimeters stick with a cudgel at the top of it. And the other one is “Calung Jinjing”. Calung Jinjing (Hung Calung) is a type of Calung that the bamboo was aligned and attached by a wooden slat. At the middle of it, there’s a handhold which is set for hanging Calung while playing it.

The way we play Calung is by punching it with a short stick named “Panakol”. Don’t shake it because it is not an Angklung that we usually play by shaking it. Use your feeling while punch it. Don’t punch too hard because Calung’s bamboo is crumbly. Just do it slowly.
