Agogo
bells are pairs of bells joined by a curved metal rod. They
are shaped much longer than a regular cowbell and generally
tuned in third.
The Agogo is played with a stick held in the

The sound can be controlled by the left hand
by positioning the thumb and finger toward the mouth of the
bells (open/close).
The stick can be made by metal or wood (I
prefer wood).
