The roots of these bells can be traced to Africa and then to the metal agogo bells played throughout Brazil. LP introduced the wooden agogo bell in the 1960s to extend the tonal range of this traditional instrument. The use of high impact plastic in the creation of LP Sambago bells delivers a crisp and consistent sound unlike any existing instrument. Quickly and easily attaches to any 3/8"-diameter mounting rod with the included LP eyebolt assembly. Pitched so that they have complimentary tones -- high and low -- approximately one minor third apart. Brilliant sound combined with bold colorful looks makes them perfect for the professional percussionist yet simple enough for the novice musician.
