After that, angklung developed into several types. One of them is the tone of angklung music by Daeng Sutigna, a resident of Citangtu, Kuningan who was the first person to create diatonic angklung music tones. Because Daeng Sutigna also, angklung can play various types of music, both traditional and modern.
Because Daeng Sutigna also, Kuningan Regency now calls itself Angklung Regency and has been established since 2010.
