== History ==
According to Dr. Groneman, the {{Lang|su|angklung}} had already been a favorite musical instrument of the entire archipelago even before the Hindu era.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://penalis.com/seni-budaya/angklung/|title=Angklung, Warisan Budaya Sunda Kebanggaan Indonesia|website=penalis.com|date=23 May 2021 |language=id-ID|access-date=2021-05-24}}</ref> According to [[Jaap Kunst]] in ''Music in Java'', besides West Java, {{Lang|su|angklung}} also exists in [[South Sumatra]] and [[Kalimantan]]. [[Lampung]], East Java and Central Java are also familiar with the instrument.<ref name="Indonesia travel"/>

In the [[History of Indonesia#Early history|Hindu period]] and the time of the [[Kingdom of Sunda]], the instrument played an important role in ceremonies. The {{Lang|su|angklung}} was played to honor [[Dewi Sri]], the goddess of Rice , so she would bless their land and lives.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://ujungkulon-tour.com/article/banten-angklung-buhun/ |title=Banten Angklung Buhun |access-date=2011-08-19 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111003172013/http://ujungkulon-tourcom/article/banten-angklung-buhun/ |archive-date=2011-10-03 |url-status=dead }}</ref>  The {{Lang|su|angklung}} also signaled the time for prayers, and was said to have been played since the 7th century in the Kingdom of Sunda. In the Kingdom of Sunda, it provided martial [[music]] during the [[Battle of Bubat]], as told in the ''[[Kidung Sunda]]''.<ref name=Awi>Awi-Awi Mandiri, ''The Spirit of Angklung'', 2018</ref>
The oldest surviving {{Lang|su|angklung}} is the {{Lang|su|Angklung Gubrag}}, made in the 17th century in Jasinga, [[Bogor]]. Other antique {{Lang|su|angklung}} are stored in the Sri Baduga Museum, [[Bandung]].<ref name=Awi /> The oldest {{Lang|su|angklung}} tradition is called {{Lang|su|angklung buhun}} ("ancient {{Lang|su|angklung}}") from [[Lebak Regency]], [[Banten]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://bantenprov.go.id/index.php?link=dtl&id=3129|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111002075717/http://bantenprov.go.id/get_page.php?link=dtl&id=3129|url-status= dead|title=Website Resmi Pemerintah Provinsi Banten|archive-date=Oct 2, 2011|website=bantenprov.go.id|access-date=Jan 6, 2021}}</ref> The {{Lang|su|angklung buhun}} is an ancient type of {{Lang|su|angklung}} played by [[Baduy people|Baduy]] people of the inland Banten province during the ''[[seren taun]]'' harvest ceremony.

In 1938, [[Daeng Soetigna]] (Sutigna), from [[Bandung]], created an {{Lang|su|angklung}} that is based on the diatonic scale instead of the traditional ''[[pélog]]'' or ''[[sléndro]]'' scales. Since then, the {{Lang|su|angklung}} has returned to popularity and is used for education and entertainment, and may even accompany Western instruments in an orchestra. One of the first performances of {{Lang|su|angklung}} in an orchestra was in 1955 during the [[Bandung Conference]]. In 1966 Udjo Ngalagena, a student of Daeng Soetigna, opened his {{Lang|su|Saung Angklung}} ("House of Angklung") as a centre for its preservation and development.<ref name=Awi />

[[UNESCO]] included the Indonesian {{Lang|su|angklung}} in the [[UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage Lists|Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity]] on 18 November 2010.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.thejakartaglobe.com/home/unesco-to-declare-indonesias-angklung-world-heritage/400274 |title=Unesco to Declare Indonesia's Angklung World Heritage |newspaper=The Jakarta Globe |date= October 8, 2018}}</ref>
