Introducing the Percussion Plus Honestly Made natural agogo
This Percussion Plus natural agogo is made with sustainable wood and large fruit husks and is a natural version of the common metal agogo. It creates a clear, crisp two-tone sound when hit with the hard wood beater, supplied with the instrument.
To play, hold the Agogo firmly at the bottom and using the wooden beater hit one of the two-tone fruit husks to create a clear sound. The simple design and satisfying two-tone sound also make this instrument ideal for the school percussion section.
Each agogo is sourced using Fair trade principles. See below for more information about the Honestly Made range of musical instruments from Percussion Plus.
These items are musical instruments, not toys, and there may be many small parts on, or in, some of them. Younger players should use them with supervision.
Cultural Origins
