Product Description

This family of three gankogui (gon-koe-KWI) bells is great for larger ensembles, bell pieces, and classroom settings. The gankogui, also known as agogo bell, double bell, or hi-low bell, is used in a variety of African percussion music, but is traditionally from the Anlo-Ewe of Ghana, Togo, and Benin. By striking the bells with a mallet or beater a two-pitch song is created. Each gankogui is hand-forged of recycled iron in Togo. Covered by our warranty, our gankogui feature: * Sizes: Large (9'' low bell, 13'' tall), Medium (7'' low bell, 11'' tall), and Small (5'' low bell, 8'' tall) * hand forged from recycled iron by expert blacksmiths in Togo * blright, sustained tones sing out over the ensemble * durable construction, built with quality of sound as priority * light-wood beater included * due to the nature of the crafting process and materials used, each bell will have its own pitch and sound quality (World Percussion USA is the ONLY authorized seller of Africa Heartwood Project instruments on Amazon. All other sellers claiming above to also sell this item as described are not honest sellers, so proceed with caution.)
