Meinl Percussion Agogo Bell Traditional Instrument for Samba and Latin Music — NOT Made in China — Handheld, 2-Year Warranty (STBAG5)

I think the sound is very nice. They ring a little longer like a bell than the agogos i have past experience with. Not like a cow bell where the sound attenuates rapidly, but pleasantly ringing. Be prepared to mute with your finger if this is not desirable. Have not put through their paces enough to test durability yet. but seems strong enough
