What is another word for bel?
Pronunciation: [bˈɛl] (IPA) 
Bel is a word used to describe a musical instrument of African origin. It is an idiophone, made up of two or more hollowed-out gourds or pieces of metal that produce a sound when struck. Some popular synonyms of bel include gankogui, agogô, and double bell. These instruments are common in Latin American, African, and Caribbean music, where they are used to keep the rhythm and add a unique sound to songs. The bel is also sometimes called a "cowbell" due to its resemblance to the bells worn by cows, but this term is typically reserved for a specific type of bell that produces a different sound.
