The {{Lang|su|'''angklung'''}} ([[Sundanese script|Sundanese]]: {{Sund|ᮃᮀᮊᮣᮥᮀ}}) is a [[musical instrument]] from the [[Sundanese people|Sundanese]] in [[Indonesia]] that is made of a varying number of [[bamboo]] tubes attached to a bamboo frame.<ref name=":0">{{cite web|title="Indonesian Angklung", Inscribed in 2010 (5.COM) on the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity|url=https://ich.unesco.org/en/RL/indonesian-angklung-00393|publisher= UNESCO |access-date=5 January 2021}}</ref> The tubes are carved to produce a resonant pitch when struck and are tuned to [[octave]]s, similar to Western [[handbells]]. The base of the frame is held in one hand, while the other hand shakes the instrument, causing a repeating note to sound. Each performer in an {{Lang|su|angklung}} ensemble is typically responsible for just one pitch, sounding their individual {{Lang|su|angklung}} at the appropriate times to produce complete melodies (see [[Kotekan]]).

The {{Lang|su|angklung}} originated in what is now [[West Java]] and [[Banten]] provinces in Indonesia, and has been played by the [[Sundanese people|Sundanese]] for many centuries. The {{Lang|su|angklung}} and its music have become an important part of the cultural identity of Sundanese communities.<ref>{{cite book | last = Spiller | first = Henry | year = 2004 | title = Gamelan: The Traditional Sounds of Indonesia, Volume 1 | page = 140 | publisher = ABC-CLIO | isbn = 9781851095063 | quote = Angklung has become a veritable symbol of Sundanese culture}}</ref> Playing the {{Lang|su|angklung}} as an orchestra requires cooperation and coordination, and is believed to promote the values of teamwork, mutual respect and social harmony.<ref name=":0" />

On 18 November 2010, [[UNESCO]] included the Indonesian {{Lang|su|angklung}} in the [[UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage Lists|Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity]], and encouraged the Indonesian people and the Indonesian government to safeguard, transmit, promote performances and to encourage the craftsmanship of the {{Lang|su|angklung}}.<ref name=":0" />
