Meinl Djembe Hand Drum Circle Instrument, Hardwood Headliner Series

About this item

• OUR MOST SIMPLE TUNING: includes a tuning wrench to make quick adjustments or head changes; tighten the steel tension rods for a higher pitch and loosen to drop pitch (djembe comes pre-tuned)
• WHY IT MATTERS: you can adjust the head right away if it slips out of tune; tension rods let you change pitch much faster and easier than traditional Mali weave rope runners—and with no learning curve
• CATCH UP QUICK: the hefty shells are made of 100% hardwood staves with uniform color and grain for resonant warm tone; the finish is NOT a glued-on veneer made to look like real wood
• DRIVING THE SOUND: you can get a lot of different sounds from its traditional goat skin rawhide head; this head produces a classic warm, yet clear tone while being remarkably durable
• OF NOTE: the body has a slim hour glass shape so it's more comfortable to hold steady between your legs; the bottom edge is lined to protect from scratches
• BY THE NUMBERS: hardwood shell measures 12 1/2" wide x 25 1/4" tall and weighs about 13.8 lbs; goat skin head measures 12 1/2"
• THE BOTTOM LINE: you'll get all the warm tone from a classic wood djembe with a more user-friendly tuning system; perfect for drum circles, outdoor jams, and acoustic sets
• THE BIG PICTURE: Meinl is a family-owned musical instrument manufacturer and brand established 1951 in Germany; our expert German designers have deep relationships with our builders to ensure you're delivered the absolute finest quality
