Just to be clear, my observation was not intended to put your assertion in doubt. I was just hoping to see someone with a keris in the video.
Your explanation that the absence of keris might be because this is merely a rehearsal is quite reasonable.
This information certainly is interesting and learning about how keris fits into the culture and day-to-day lives of Indonesians (or how it did in the past) is far more intriguing to me than merely being able to distinguish one pamor or dhapur from another.
