A pair of small, horizontally-resting bronze gongs each with a turned back rim and a raised central boss. Struck with two thinly-padded stick beaters. Produces two penetrating high-register pitches simultaneously. Only pélog gamelans have a kempyang. Note that the kempyang looks very much like the kemong found in sléndro gamelans (see image below); they differ in that the kemong pair of gongs are of the setren type (relatively flat top) and the kempyang of the jaler type (relatively peaked top).
