Agogo de Castanha XL

Description

High-quality hand-made Agogo de Castanha XL. This Agogo has 3 castanha bells.

The Agogo (the Yoruba word for “bell”) is a traditional West African instrument that may be the oldest samba & Capoeira music instrument.
Agogó is a percussion as well as a melodic instrument. The Agogo was further developed in Latin America and is played mainly in Brazil. It consists of 2 Natural bells that one hits with a wooden or metal stick, producing different pitches. The Agogo has the highest pitch of any bateria instrument. There is also a metal industrialized version, but we create & sell only the handmade natural version.

Our artist-craftsman “Spidy” creating the Agogo by hand. We create every instrument with care and it contains 2 castanhas. The artist creating the castanhas out of cleaned hollow castanha nuts from Brazil. We import the nuts from Brazil. This insures us with the best quality of sound.

Each bell has a different pitch – one is a higher tone, the other a lower. And in this case, there is another one in the middle.

Each piece is unique and hand-made. This means the sound of each piece has slight differences from one instrument to another. But nevertheless, all of them look and sound beautiful!
