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
  • 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 mat
