About this item

  • Hand-forged of recycled iron by master blacksmiths in Togo; stick included
  • 8in tall low bell, 11.5in tall; may have plain metal handle or wood handle, no selection available
  • Bright, sustained tones sing out over the ensemble; two distinct pitches with no specific tuning
  • Hand crafted in Africa by village cultural artisans supported by the non-profit Africa Heartwood Project


This large size gankogui (gon-koe-GWI) bell from Africa Heartwood Project is available as part of a set or 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 African bell is hand-forged of recycled iron in Togo. Our gankogui African musical instrument features: * 8in tall low bell, 11.5in 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 * may have plain metal hook handle or a wood handle; no selection available * due to the nature of the crafting process and materials used, each hand bell will have its own pitch and sound quality

I got this for my 11 year old grandson and he loves it! It is heavy and I wish I had ordered the smaller one for him but he is happy. It is the first thing he shows to his friends when they visit. Now he wants to collect all of the African made instruments. It is well made and fun to play. We all love how it sounds.

This double belle has a great sound. Lots of sound but not too sharp. The tone of the seperate belles is distinct. I like the authenic workmanship , made by hand and solid, reflects true appreciation for the instrument. I can't wait until the next drum circle.

I love the bell. I gave only 4 stars because the stick looks broken off of something. ( it could have been cut nicer, maybe sand the ends) other than that .....5 stars...i love it!
