Gamelan musicians like to respect their instruments. They believe that the instruments have a connection to their God and that stepping over the instruments would break the connection.
In Indonesia they think that the Gamelan is sacred and in the instruments are spirits. You must not walk over them as they think that you would offend the spirit. When you play it you must take off your shoes because it is polite to the spirits. sometime flowers if offered to the Gamelan.

You must never step over the Gamelan instruments and you must never show the soles of your feet when you are sitting. The rules are extremely strict when it comes to the Gamelan.

The Western musical tuning that allowed instruments to play in any key was not developed by any one person. It was developed by a number of composers and musicians over many years.
There are two major varieties of Gamelan, Javanese and Balinese, and both use very similar orchestrations. The gender is the most widely known instrument. It is a 14-keyed metallophone that elaborates on the main melody. The saron is a smaller metallophone. It comes in three sizes and provides the main tune and rhythm. The gambang is a wooden xylophone that shares the role of the gender. The gongs provide the bass part and cue the other players to change the tune or beat. It is said that the soul of the gamelan lives within the largest gong. The bonang is a series of kettle-shaped gongs on a frame. These provide an accompaniment throughout performances. Over time other instruments have found their way into the gamelan orchestra. The suling (bamboo flute) and rebab (bowed instrument) are now part of many gamelans.
Mostly by spending time with them, working on a song, going over notes, that sort of thing.
There are over 20,000 different instruments in Australia.
"Hey look, the musicians are coming!" "That car is the musician's." "Those people over there making music are musicians."
