Since seeing your post on the gamelan list, I looked through Ernst Schlager's _Rituelle Siebenton-Musik auf Bali_, probably the most comprehensive study of selonding yet published. Regrettably, he gives only the nearest equal-tempered pitches for each of the selonding ensembles that he found on the island. I can post those, but I don't think that's what you were looking for. There was a copy of a gamelan selonding made at UCLA some years ago, but I don't remember by whom (Max Harrell?). Perhaps someone on the gamelan list could help out. Also, Bob Brown supervised the building of a new gamelan selonding a few years back for a group he sponsored. Perhaps he would know. (Email me if you want the address I have for him.)
