Rhythm Fusion Gankokwe belll Gankoqui Double Bell
These double bells are hand-forged by the best Ewe blacksmiths and are used for all of their traditional music. The Gankoqui is created from iron that is heated to blistering temperature, hammered and shaped to the proper size and set back in the fire for tempering. Its clear and cutting tone demonstrates why it has been the center of so much traditional African music.
Each bell has several pitches depending upon how you strike them. Stick included. You can even create an echo effect by striking the larger bell and bouncing it off your leg. These are a great addition to any drumming circle or band. They are available in 3 sizes. |
