Abstract


Ethnomathematics is a study that connects mathematical concepts with local culture. One of its forms can be found in traditional musical instruments, such as gongs. This article discusses the relationship between shape, size, and harmony on gongs from an ethnomathematical perspective, examining how mathematical principles, such as geometry, proportion, and vibrational patterns, play a role in their creation. The study also highlights how traditional societies intuitively apply mathematical concepts in producing and tuning gong tones to create distinctive harmony in regional music. Through a qualitative approach and literature analysis, this study reveals that local wisdom in making gongs reflects a deep understanding of the relationship between mathematics and art. The results of this research are expected to enrich insights into ethnomathematics and contribute to the preservation of local culture through a scientific approach
