Kacapi indung is one of the traditional musical instruments from Cianjur, West Java, known as an important part of the art of Tembang Sunda Cianjuran. Based on its organology, Tembang Sunda Cianjuran is made of Kenanga wood. The object of this research is an analysis of organology with a focus on the implementation of bracing techniques on Kacapi indung performed by Endo Suanda. The method used is descriptive qualitative with an organological approach. Data collection was carried out by means of observation, interviews and documentation. The result of this research is that the bracing technique implemented in Kacapi indung is based on changes in raw materials which were originally made from wood and then replaced by bamboo. Bamboo has a different thickness from wood, requiring Kacapi indung to add bracing so that Kacapi indung can be sturdier and stronger.
