The LP sambago bells.
In fact they are called "bells" but sound rather like blocks. They are the block equivalent of the bright-sounding, and high pitch metal LP agogo bells (which I also have).
And like the classical metal agogo bells, the sambago bells are tuned about a minor third apart. I play them handheld (even though they have a mounting assembly) and strike them with a normal wooden drumstick held mid length.
The timbre of these sambago bells is a pleasant cross between blocks and clave sticks, and they sound really great !
