Gankogui Double Metal Bell - Agogo High Low Cow Bell - Small with stick

This small size gankogui (gon-koe-KWI) produces a mid-range open bell tone and a high pitch non-resonant tone. No other gankogui bell will offer the higher end pitches like this one does. 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.
