These
single bells, known locally as "oh-gene", are played in many
Ibo ceremonies, most notably the annual Yam Festival. Played with a stick
(included), these gongs keep the beat as people march through the towns
and villages celebrating the bountiful harvest. Made from recycled metal
by one man (famous in Nigeria for his gong-making expertise), each bell
is forged completely by hand and therefore each has a unique tone. Mix
and match several to create the tones you need.
