Express yourself through music with this miniature djembe

While most djembes measure between 40 and 60 cm (16 and 24 in) tall, this compact model is nearly two to three times smaller. In fact, this djembe measures 20 cm (8 in) tall, making it the smallest African drum in our collection. Still, don’t underestimate it. Not only can you take it absolutely anywhere, since it slips very easily into a bag, but in the hands of a percussionist or a curious musician, it can produce beautiful rhythms that add atmosphere and style. As for its features, you’ll find solid mahogany wood with excellent acoustics and a natural goatskin head, tightly tensioned with a nylon cord. Hand-painted decorations on the base of the shell add a touch of colour to this sound-making object. Let yourself be won over by this 20 cm (8 in) djembe and add it to your cart now.
