Discover the Traditional Music of Bali

Experience the joy of creating traditional Balinese melodies on the Rindik, a sacred bamboo xylophone.

About This Class:

Rindik is one of Bali’s traditional bamboo musical instruments, known for its soft, warm and soothing sound. The instrument is made from bamboo tubes arranged in different lengths and played with wooden mallets to create melodic rhythms.

For generations, Rindik music has been part of Balinese cultural life and can be heard during traditional ceremonies, weddings, community gatherings and other cultural occasions.

At Bali Purma Art & Workshop in Ubud, you can experience Rindik music for yourself through a hands-on traditional music class guided by a local Balinese musician.

Instead of simply watching a performance, you will sit down with the instrument, learn how it works and practice creating simple rhythms and melodies.

The experience is designed to be enjoyable for beginners, so you do not need any previous musical training.

Was truly a great experience. Brought my kids (8&7) and they had a blast. They got help and the support from the staff was amazing. And the kids got a great keepsake to bring home.

Experiencia muy bonita, gente amable y cercana. Nos a costado unos 24€ por persona, y estas unas 2h ya que el proceso es lento, para disfrutar con calma y conectar con el ambiente. Además hacen muchas más cosas como taller de madera esculpida, esculpir sandía, entre más cosas, un sitio muy recomendado. GRACIAS ❤️

Went here as an Airbnb experience to make silver jewelry and it was excellent - we did the bulk of the making ourselves, with patient and kind guidance from two experienced silversmiths. The setting in an artist compound was also super beautiful!

Most amazing ring making experience I’ve ever had, they let you design and draw your ring. They’re extremely talented and make us feel comfortable and homely. They spent as long as it took to make the rings perfect and made sure we were happy the whole time and even made us small Indonesian cakes and coffee. I would highly recommend this place and it’s worth the price twice over. Thankyou!

Absolutely superb family-run business! They accommodated our entire family of 9, picked us up, helped us create 11 very different rings including incorporating some sentimental gems we bought with us, polish our existing jewellery, and even fixed our old broken jewellery for a small fee. They offered us tea and traditional cakes, then took us to a coffee plantation and on for lunch before taking us home. We loved their reccomendations so much that we then paid for them to take us to a traditional performance in the evening. To cap it all off they crafted a bespoke pair of earings for our mother, who cried when we presented them to her later the next day. I cannot reccomend them enough, great value and we felt very well looked after in their safe hands.

Absolutely AMAZING! We felt so invited and welcomed by everyone here. We ended up making rings, doing a wood carving class, and batik painting. We’re so glad we did all their classes. Because we did so many they also included lunch at a local restaurant nearby; very good food!!. The place is a collab amongst local artists like silver smithing, batik painting and wood carvers. They each were so excited to teach us their specific craft, all while we discussed their culture. Our absolute favorite part was being able to openly talk to them about Balinese culture and getting to know the locals and their ways a little better. Throughout the classes they also constantly gave us coffee and little local homemade desserts. Can’t recommend enough, and it’s a great way to walk away with something to physically remember the experience by. Must do!!
