Overseas Connection G-732C Large Gankogui

Traditional gankogui (African agogo bells) with a stacked configuration; large size (approx. 11-12"). Made in Togo and Ghana by blacksmiths using hand bellows and rudimentary forges. Since each bell is hand-forged, each will have its unique tone. The sizes will also vary; the smaller bell is about 3" diameter and the larger bell about 4" diameter. Traditionally used to mark the beat for ceremonies, this bell is one of the most important parts of many percussion ensembles. It produces various open and closed sounds, with a brighter tone than the Nigerian agogo bell. Try dampening the bell against your leg while you play. Easily handheld; or ready for stand attachment (use your stand and hardware). Wooden striker included.

Please Note: These bells are handmade and will vary in pitch and size. The large bell ranges in length from 11 inches to 12 inches.
