The gamelan mas Hirdjan made for JIS is housed at the Pondok Indah Campus. It is used by 5-12 year-olds from over 24 countries. Gamelan is part of the music curriculum at JIS, all students are exposed to it for 4 weeks or more out of the school year. The Pondok Indah campus has 2 gamelan (since they have some 600 students)–the one by Mas Hirdjan, and their new iron one by Mas Mulyadi/Solo. Some 300 students use each one for lessons and performances during their 4-week study.
