This is a small-size gong made of bronze that produces melodious sounds. Each player holds two cak lempungsanggar leluhur, taking turns to play and create short melodies. Other instruments such as the Seruling Buluh, Salung, Rebana and gong are played together with the cak lempong to accompany dance performances such as Pencak Silat, Candle Dance (Tari Lilin) , Randai and Tari Inai.
The cak lempong can be used as an alternative to other instruments like the Canang in Dikir Barat and ‘Shadow Play’ (Wayang Kulit) performances in Kelantan.
