Abstract

This study aims to identify and improve the quality of the output tone of the Sasando musical instrument from Rote, East Nusa Tenggara by varying the 32 types of wire used. The type of Sasando used in this study was the electric Sasando made by craftsmen Oebelo and craftsmen from Edon Kolhua. The results showed that the two types of Sasando are physically different, but have the same frequency pattern on 32 strings, according to the functional melody, bass and rhythm of the strings. The Edon electric Sasando has a frequency range of 75 to 1.015 Hz and an intensity of −15 to −77 dB, which is slightly lower than the Oebelo electric Sasando, which is 86 to 1.314 Hz and −37.32 to −74.91 dB. Both Sasandos prefer to use melodic strings with a diameter of over 0.36 mm.
