ATOKE, the banana bell


The atoke is a forged iron bell instrument and is always shaped in the form a banana or a boat.  When playing the atoke, the player holds in his weak palm the banana-shaped instrument and plays it with a forged-iron rod with his strong hand. The atoke serves the same purpose as the gankogui and is sometimes used instead of or a substitute for the gankogui.
