Toke is another instrument of the forged-iron family that produces a bell like tone when struck. It's traditional form is similar to a miniature boat. A thin forged iron rod is used to play it. Toke is held in a partially open palm of the performer's weak hand, resting diagonally across from the fore finger to the heel. The iron rod beater is carried in the strong hand and rebounds as it strikes the rim of toke producing a high ringing pitch. A pair of toke, tuned about a fourth apart, always play together and function in a similar manner as gankoqui.
