African Gankogui Bell Set - Iron Double Cow Bell - Set of 3, Large Medium and Small from Ghana

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 * 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 (World Percussion USA is the ONLY authorized seller of Africa Heartwood Project instruments on this marketplace.
