Toke

Click above to watch how a toke is played.

Toke are small metal forged iron instruments similar to the gankoqui bells. These are often called boat bells but instead of being struck with a wooden stick or dowel, they are played with a metal striker and held in the palm of the hand. These are used for playing basic bell patterns, but with a higher and more penetrating timbre.
