Abstract

Suling sunda or Sundanese flute is a traditional wind instrument which comes from Sundanese tribe located in West Java Indonesia. Nowadays, the enthusiasm of young generation to learn and play the sundanese flute decreases from year to year. Whereas, sundanese flute is one of the unique musical instrument and it can produce touched tones. Conservation of the Sundanese Flute will increase the pride to be Sundanese and it increases the national character. Besides, Sundanese Flute can be a learning media in physics learning when discuss about sound, resonance, standing wave and open pipe. This study was focused to the organology, frequency and the wave form of each note of Sundanese flute and was directed to describe the organology, to measure the frequency and to display the wave form of each note of the Sundanese flute. The data was collected through semi-structured interviews to the lecturer in Music Department whose focuses is traditional instruments; conducting experiment to measure the frequency and analyzing a music software to depict of wave form resulted from each note.
