The ahoko is a traditional percussion
musical instrument fabricated in the central part of Cote d’Ivoire in Africa.
The ahoko is a wooden rod that has nutshells, each of them containing loose
seeds, tied to the strings of the instrument that are then tightly wound around
the extreme of the rod. The percussion sound of the musical instrument can
range from quite to very loud.
In the Hornbostel-sachs system, it is
classified as 112.13 as a vessel rattle, a kind of indirectly struck idiophone.
