Abstract
Indonesia has a rich variety of traditional musical instruments, which resulted from the huge natural and cultural diversity in the archipelago country. These musical instruments are meaningful not only because they represent the values held by the local communities that play the instruments, but also because they represent the identity of Indonesia as a nation. The conservation of the musical instruments requires a multi-disciplinary approach, which involves not only the cultural materials conservators, but also the musicians and the craftsmen, as well as the scholars from humanities and engineering. Only with this multi-disciplinary approach, can both the aesthetic and the non-aesthetic values of the musical instruments be explained and experienced in full.
