What it goes well with

 

 
How it's Made

 

All our instruments, and the baskets, are made in Bali using natural and local materials. Most are made to our designs in local villages where they create a useful source of income for families and a low stress, clean and safe type of work.
 
The beautiful and sturdy baskets are woven by hand from bamboo fibres and are used by Balinese artists, musicians and dancers for carrying their costumes and materials.

 

 
How to look after it

 

None of the instruments need any special maintenance. Just be careful not to let the basket and contents get damp and don't put it on radiator or anywhere too hot. The instruments are tough but they're still instruments and need to be treated with respect and smaller children should have some supervision.
