Hand-welded XL quadruple agogo in pentatonic tuning D-F-G-A by Kalango
Our agogó in pentatonic tuning - a real beauty with a rustical touch hand forged from thick steel sheet!
Produced in Europe, each one a unique piece, hand welded, rustical look and the typical Brazilian clear but slightly 'dirty' sound. As a consequence of re-arising demand of nicely tuned but still original sounding bells, we have decided to take over this on ourselves. Together with our producer, we developed our own series of agogo bells. Our top priority was to find a reliable tuning but to preserve the popular rustical 'hand-made' look and be able to offer unique instruments. The sound should be well tuned but not too clean. This series of bells stands out especially due to its artisanal production, each one is welded by hand and tuned, all tunings are similar but still each one is an absolutely unique bell.
Each bell (also the smallest!) has a clear and strong sound!
The bells are made of solid steel sheet and are tuned to pentatonic intervals.
The handle is long enough to hold the agogo comfortably and stable in the hand without making it too heavy.
Different creative lines and patterns are easy to play and sound especially pretty when several people play together. The slight dissonance of tones is meant to be and makes the sound authentic.
Our hand-welded Agogos are painted metallic blue on the inside.
Rustic finish - strong sound!
