Gambang Cengkok in Slendro Manyura

by Carter Scholz

A practical compilation of gambang cengkok in slendro manyura for irama wiled/dadi, sourced from multiple masters (e.g., Wignyosusastro, Warsomloyo, Widiyanto, Pak Cokro) and texts. It outlines pathet relationships (manyura ↔ sanga transposability; nem as a mix), and registering by following rebab/gender/voice. Structural types—gantung, seleh, rambatan—frame variation; recurring 8–16-note modules are shown across “special” and “ordinary” cengkok. The set includes named vocal-derived cengkok (e.g., Puthut Gelut, Ayu Kuning, Kacaryan) and sample transcriptions for common forms (srepegan, lancaran, ladrang).
