Let the rhythms of Africa draw you in with this 40 cm (16 in) tall djembe
Though relatively small, this 40 cm (16 in) djembe is still an excellent percussion instrument for any musician seeking the feel and melodies of Africa. Thanks to its compact size, you can take it almost anywhere, and at just 2 kg (4 lb 6.6 oz), it is easy to handle. A small djembe like this one also lets you play brighter, more percussive tones than larger models, which produce deeper sounds with fairly long sustain because their resonating bodies have more volume. Each of these djembes features hand-painted decorations that reveal traditional, artisanal craftsmanship. The skin covering this African instrument has been specially tanned and treated to deliver remarkable tones. Choose quality and add this beautiful djembe to your basket now.
Included as a gift:
- A fabric carry bag
- A strap
