This standard size Alo bell is available as part of a set and is sold individually. The Alo bell originally comes from Nigeria, but is also used traditionally among the Ewe of Ghana and Togo (as a single-tone Gankogui bell). The sound is also appropriate for Afro-Cuban and Latin drumming music where a cow bell might otherwise be used. Wonderful sound and built to last. Covered by our standard money back guarantee, these bells feature: 8in tall bell, 11in 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 materials used, each bell will have its own pitch and sound quality African-made product from cultural artisans supported by Africa Heartwood Project

As a new world Yoruba priest (Babalawo) and aspiring percussionist, this is a welcome addition to my array of authentic African percussion instruments. It definitely produces the sound I was looking to capture.Baba Adubiifa (Langston Thomas)
