The frikywa (FREE-chee-wah), also known as the grello bell or African castinet, is a two-piece instrument used in Ghanaian percussion ensembles. The bell is shaped like a large, open walnut shell connected at the top and bottom, which is held by one finger. The ring is used to strike the bell, and can be worn on the thumb or held in the opposite hand. Covered by our warranty, the frikywa features:
* hand forged from recycled iron by expert blacksmiths in Ghana
* variety of clear, crisp tones that sing out above the ensemble
* round ring striker included with each bell
* due to handcrafted nature of the frikywa, size of bell and ring will vary, as will sound

Wonderfully clear sound coming out of such a small instrument. My thumb seems to be the weak link in playing it better. But in time that will fall in line. Anyone hearing it, has to ask about it.
0  Ghana Drum bell is cool,

It is an interesting addition to my percussion toy box. Makes a sound similar to the claves, but drier and mettalic.
