It’s not always easy for a beginner to find their first instrument. That’s why Instruments du Monde has specially selected this djembe designed for beginners. Available in three sizes, from 16 in (40 cm) tall for brighter, more percussive sounds to 24 in (60 cm) for deep, highly resonant tones, you can choose the one that perfectly suits your playing goals. Crafted from solid mahogany, the entire drum shell features black and red elephant carvings and paintings, all done entirely by hand by artisans. The head of this percussion instrument is made from goatskin, giving this djembe exceptional acoustics. A protective rubber ring has been added to the base, helping protect the wood when you transport it or play it. Give yourself every advantage as you begin learning the djembe and treat yourself to one today.

Included as a gift:

• A fabric carrying bag
• A strap
