Editing Slendro (section)

==Connotations==
For experienced participants in gamelan music, the ''pelog'' and ''slendro'' scales each have a particular feeling, related to the rituals and circumstances in which the scale is used. For example, in [[Bali]], ''slendro'' is felt to have a sad sound because it is used as the tuning of [[gamelan angklung]], the traditional ensemble for [[cremation]] ceremonies.

The connotation also depends on the ''[[pathet]]'' (roughly, the mode) used. There are three ''slendro pathet'' used in Javanese ''gamelan'', ''nem'', ''sanga'', and ''manyura''. That is the order in which they appear in a ''[[wayang]]'' performance, which historically used only ''slendro pathet''. Consequently, they have the implications of where they appear in the evening.
