Abstract

This study aims to discuss the selection of materials in making Teganing musical
instruments, reviewed from the process of making Teganing, organological studies of
Teganing musical instruments, and reviewing the functions of Teganing musical instruments
in the Gayo community in Bebesen District, Central Aceh Regency. The theories used in this
research are organology theory, musical instrument theory, Teganing theory, and music
function theory. This research was conducted on August to October 2018 on the street
Pegasing Bebesen District, Central Aceh Regency. The method in this study is descriptive
qualitative. The sample in this study amounted to two people, one artist and one Teganing
craftsman. Data collection techniques used were observation, interviews, and documentation.
The results of this study explain that Gayo Teganing is made of bamboo (grind) Regen and
requires a long time for the manufacturing process. Teganing is a musical instrument played
by hitting it with a stick (Pegeul) on the string with the right hand and the left hand hitting
the Teganing body instead of repa'i or gegedem as a behavior. The production of Gayo
Teganing sound produced by the body of the tool itself is present in resonance (vibration)
and also the quality of the bamboo used. Functions contained as emotional expressions,
entertainment at various levels of socialism, symbolic representation, physical response
tools, reinforcement of social norm conformity, contribute to continuity and cultural stability,
supporting social integration.
