Gankogui saving Bell - Set of 3 by Africa Heartwood Project

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 * two distinct pitches, one low and one high, with no specific tuning; durable construction, built with quality of sound as priority saving * light-wood beater included * may have plain metal handle or a wood handle, with no selection available * due to the nature of the crafting process and materials used, each bell will have its own pitch and sound quality.
