Description:
The Gankogui (gon-KOE-gui), also known as agogo bell, double bell, or hi-low bell, is used traditionally in a variety of West African and Brazilian percussion ensembles. By striking the bells with a mallet or beater a two-pitch song is created, often used to keep time for the drummer, dancers, and singers. Hand-forged of iron by expert blacksmiths in Togo, each gankogui is pitched so the high bell is roughly a tonal third above the lower bell. 2 are for sale: a large (9" low bell, 13" tall), and a medium (7" low bell, 11" tall). Each have bright, sustained tones which sing out over the ensemble durable construction, and are built with quality of sound as priority. Light-wood beaters included as shown. 416 963-9977
