"It is a little smaller than the Latin percussion unit but it works and sounds just the same."
"Still trying to figure out how exactly to use it but I love it!"
"It is something to have for latin music or for all kind of music I do like it."
"This is a nice instrument."

Best Hand Percussion Agogo Bells

To remove any rust build-up, the manufacturer recommends using 0000 (very fine) steel wool to rub over the bell for a few seconds; then wipe the bell off with a soft cloth. It is NOT recommended to rub oil on the surface of the bell to prevent rust, since residual oil can stain clothing and hands when the bell is played. Traditional gankogui (African agogo bells); medium size.

"I like the sound on this and the fact that it is hand made, you can hold it against your leg to get a different ring out if it more subtle and use your fingers on it to get different sounds when you are using the stick."
"Sounds awesome!"
"This sounds amazing slightly higher tones than the large."
"Really fun African percussion-- I will probably end up with a full set of these."
"Excellent!"
"Meh."

"I ordered it along with several other musical type toys because I wanted to expose my 1 year old to music at an early age."
"So I bought one on Amazon to give to my son's 1st grade teacher so she can use it for her amphibian unit in class."
"Reasonably priced for a wooden instrument and it sounds good -- like a frog if you work it!"
"Most importantly, we LOVE the sound it makes and how much fun it is to play."
"Well this little frog was the center of attention from the moment my husband opened it!"
"My son loves it!"
"I have three of these for my music classes and i adore them. Edit: I just realized that the three frogs i order are tuned to E, D and C. i don't know if this is a coincidence or in purpose, but i am now able to play a froggy version of hot corss buns."
