Gankogui Bell - Togo Iron Bell Overview


This standard size gankogui (gon-koe-KWI) is available as part of a set and is sold individually. 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: * 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
