Agogo Bells - Medium

Medium agogo bells are two metal bells tuned to a perfect fourth apart. These bells produce clear, resonant tones, ideal for Samba and African drumming. Their slightly lower pitch gives them more projection compared to the smaller version, making them suitable for larger groups and performances. Played with a wooden beater, they create rhythmic patterns that cut through other instruments.
