Description: Tingklik is a bamboo percussion instrument from the island of Bali. It is often used in “Rindik” music and is itself sometimes referred to as Rindik. Rindik music usually involves two Tingklik musicians and one Suling (bamboo flute). Tingklik typically has 11 bamboo tubes, although the instrument we sampled has 12. With five notes per octave, the range is just over 2 octaves. The pipes are suspended on a rope on a wooden frame. The performer sits on the ground and hits bamboo tubes with rubber-tipped hammers. The Tingklik instrument player uses both hands to strike the hammers in a constant rhythm. The left hand usually plays the melody and the right hand plays the accompaniment.
