What dictionaries are saying

Gamelan : dans les dictionnaires

The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language
1973

gamelan n. A type of orchestra common to Southeast Asia, consisting mainly of tuned metal or wooden chimes and other percussion instruments.

Our observations

It is not in all of Southeast Asia that one finds gamelans, but only in its southern part. Is there confusion with the mainland's piphat ensembles ?
The rest of the definition is satisfactory.
