3-in-1 Ivory Coast Bell Set (also called Triple Agogo or Triple Cowbell) - Three tapered-oval unfinished steel bells are welded to a common steel stem. Not an ordinary factory-made set—these Ivory Coast bell sets are hand made and sizes vary (bells are about 3 1/2", 4 1/2", and 5 1/2" l., respectively, for Higher, Medium, and Lower pitches). They can produce funky, clunky sounds played with a simple straight playing stick (included) or brighter sounds played with a metal striker. Only $40 per set.

Adodo - Double clusters of non-resonant (conical, integral clapper) bells forged to each end of a metal rod. No playing stick is required; played by shaking the cluster in an axis-changing wiggling motion (actuating all clappers simultaneously)—ringing produced by so doing is dense and intense—or can be played with a stick or metal striker. A drum circle late-joiner's favorite (they will know you arrived!), some say best used in moderation (and in traditional African contexts). Bargain priced; a lot of sound per dollar.

Gankoqui - Double iron gong with high and low tone (in Brazil this double bell is called an Agogo) traditionally from Ghana. Wood playing stick is included. We offer quality Ghana Gankoquis made in The Togolese Republic, optionally with a U.S.-made pre-installed lathe-turned hardwood handle (not shown) for more comfort (and possibly-improved timbre).

Toke - Canoe-shaped forged-iron bell held in the palm of a hand and played with an included iron beater. For more information on the Toke bell, click here.

Alo - Long hollow iron ritual/sound-effect gong. Two sizes available in rolled steel, painted gray (shape is similar to unpainted Alo pictured, and with longer top stem). Simple rubber-covered straight-handle beater is included.

Oghene - Oval-shaped iron gong/bell tapers to a layered metal stem at one end. These bells/gongs are from the eastern part of Nigeria and are hand made by the finest Nigerian blacksmiths. Professional lathe-turned wood handle available mounted onto single gong @ $15 additional per handle (our cost). For more information on the Oghene bell, click here.
