GANKOGUI BELL - STANDARD

This medium size gankogui (gon-koe-KWI) is the standard size for stand-alone gankogui bells, offering a nice distinction between low and high notes, with good volume and resonance. The gankogui, also known as agogo bell, double bell, African cow 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:

• available as part of a set and is sold individually
• 7" tall low bell, 11" tall
• hand forged from recycled iron by expert blacksmiths in Togo
• bright, 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
• Made in Africa by cultural artisans supported by non-profit Africa Heartwood Project .org
