I have seen these mini gamelan instruments several times on my travels.  I like to do easy crafts, so bought this book to see how it is done.  I really enjoyed the history and origin of the gamelan. The book really went into details of how the mini gamelans are made, and how they even came to be make.  They are more of an art piece than a musical instrument like the original.  But with my limited skills, I don't think I will be making one.This book is great if you interested in the history both past and present of gamelans, so I am giving it 5 stars because of that, but if you are wanting to make your own, I am not as impressed.
