	'''Gamelan''' is the traditional ensemble music of the Javanese, Sundanese, and Balinese peoples of Indonesia, made up largely of percussion instruments, but also including some aerophones and chordophones and sometimes voice. To sound in tune, the latter instruments must match some of their harmonic partials with the inharmonic partials of the percussion instruments. The people of Indonesia settled upon two different tuning systems to accomplish this, called [[~~pelog~~]] (close to but not exactly [[5edo]] with stretched octaves) and [[~~slendro~~]] (similar to but noticeably different from a [[2L 5s]] scale of [[9edo]] with octaves ranging from slightly compressed to slightly stretched). In both systems, the tuning (including the octave stretch or compression) is not exactly the same between octaves, to accommodate differences between the instruments made for the different octaves. This is explained in the following video, which also gives a brief introduction to the instruments of gamelan ensembles:		'''Gamelan''' is the traditional ensemble music of the Javanese, Sundanese, and Balinese peoples of Indonesia, made up largely of percussion instruments, but also including some aerophones and chordophones and sometimes voice.
