In Reply to: We went to the foundry a couple posted by Deb M on Tuesday, 18. October 2011 at 06:58 Bali Time:
The Gamelan foundry that I have used is
PANDE Made Gableran's, located just northeast of Blahbatuh village off the main road to Gianyar.
Not sure idf that is the same one mentioned above but Made Gableran is considered the best in Bali and people come from all around the world to purchase from him.
If you drive into Blahbatuh any one you ask should now how to direct you.
Gong Gedé is the largest and the medium size is called a Kempur.
To get a a more realistic 'local' price it's best to go with a local gong kebyar member who can help you negotiate a price.
Good luck.
