Abstract: Three Indonesian traditional musical instruments consisting of angklung, bonang, and suling were created to be played automatically during exhibitions to promote and attract tourists to learn about Indonesia during the COVID-19 pandemic. The systems were driven by the use of motors controlled by minicomputers and microcontrollers that could be accessed using smartphones based on Android operating systems. The selected songs chosen to be played are 100% accurate. It is also stated that 81% of the respondents are willing to learn and enjoy more about Indonesia after seeing the system.

Keywords: traditional musical instruments; COVID-19; Indonesia; tourism; hospitality; Indonesia.
