This musical instrument made ​​of bamboo, sounded shaken by the way (the sound caused by the clash of bodies bamboo pipes) so as to produce sound that vibrates in the arrangement of tones 2, 3, to 4 tones in every size, both large and small. Dictionary of the Sunda Language by Jonathan Rigg, published in 1862 in Batavia, wrote that Angklung is a musical instrument made ​​of bamboo pipes, cut the edges, resembling the pipes in an organ, and tied together in a frame, vibrated to produce sound. Angklung is listed as Masterpieces of Oral Heritage and Human Nonbendawi of UNESCO since November 2010 There is no clue since when angklung used, but is thought to have been used in the form of primitive Neolithic culture that flourished in the archipelago until the beginning of the modern calendar, so angklung is part of the relics of the pre -Hinduisme in the culture of the archipelago.

Notes on new emerging angklung refer to the Sunda Kingdom (12th century to 16th century). The origin of the creation of bamboo music, such as angklung based view of the agrarian life of Sundanese people with a source of life of paddy (pare) as a staple food.

Baduy, who is regarded as the remnants of native Sundanese people, applying angklung as part of ritual began planting rice. Gubrag angklung game in Jasinga, Bogor, is one that is still alive since more than 400 years ago. Appearance originated from rice rites.
