Karawitan art using Javanese gamelan instruments was born hundreds of years ago, and until now still sustainable and growing in society. Along with the development of musical music, there are several factors that make gamelan performances of Java less able to bring the soul (soul) musicality. This is because of the use of show space. Javanese people are generally aware that, the presentation of gamelan will be better sounded when presented in the pendhapa. Nevertheless some performance auditoriums can be used to present karawitan music using Javanese gamelan, taking into account the same acoustic system as the pendhapa acoustic system.
