[edit] earlier comment

Hi, I'm gonna change a few facts here. Kulintang, or sometimes "kolintang" in Indonesian dialect, is truly a traditional music of (North) Sulawesi, but not of Sumatera island. And Sabah is a province of Malaysia. Thank you XoXo 06:58, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Overhauling article

[edit] Good article

I just came in from the DYK, and the article impressed the socks off me. It is well written, well sectioned, and very informative: it contains more meat than is found in some books. There is cultural context, history, technique, media files, and even a table of major performers in nice format, not to mention the numerous informative illustrations. The reference section is outstanding. I speedily passed the article as Good, but I really think it ought to be Featured. Kudos for the excellent work! Freederick 10:13, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

Actually I was consulting someone else about moving this article to feature status but we were worried about the references. We were considering removing some since editors sometimes don't like too many. Also... the article is still in the process of being peer reviewed but considering your comment, we may consider bringing it up for a feature review and see what happens.

Thanks for the acknowlegdement. Really worked hard on this one. PhilipDM 10:24, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Chalempung

This is listed on the related instruments list. Is it another spelling of the celempung? Rigadoun (talk) 16:57, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

I found a few spellings of this gong instrument when doing research. I'll give you the reference sources if you need them

• chalempung of sumatra from Cadar in "The Maranao Kolintang Music"
• caklempong of the Malay Minangkaba of Negeri Sembilan from Matusky in "Musical instruments of Malaysia"
• caklempung from Matusky in "An Introduction to the Major instruments and forms of Traditional Malay Music"
• celempung of west malaysia from Frame in "The Musical Instruments of Sabah." PhilipDM 20:00, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
