Balinese Insrument or gamelan is very popular, a wide variety of traditional and contemporary musical instruments are available in Bali.

These include gamelan, bamboo, xylophones ( angklung), flute, stringed instruments and drums. A drum manufacturer with international reputation can be found opposite the gas station on jalan Andong, Peliatan, near Ubud.

The village of Sangeh is also known as the home of the one of the world’s most famous flute makers Nyoman Lentong.

Gong and Gamelan instruments are made at Tihingan Village, near Semarapura on Jalan Diponogoro. Most are produced on order from Balinese musical group but some are available for sale. The small village of sawan in the hill to the east of Singaraja also producers gamelan instruments, as does Blahbatuh Village near Ubud.
