In addition to the Rp 70,000 fee per performance, Boiyen also sets aside money from the tips given by the audience. However, all the tips are divided equally. "Yes, they are collected in a box. Later, they will be divided among the musicians. I am not allowed to take them myself," explained Boiyen.
