Meinl Percussion Artisan Edition Professional Djembe Hand Drum Circle Instrument, Carved Mahogany — NOT Made in China — African Mali Weave Ropes and Rawhide, 2-Year Warranty (PROADJ3-XXL)

Our deluxe Djembe is hand carved from a solid plantation grown mahogany log, and exquisitely carved with figures from the ramayama, the epic Hindu legend and love story of Rama and sita. Each Djembe is a work of art. We make sure it sounds as good as it looks with top quality hand-selected goat skin heads, and the best pre-stretched htp rope. We cherish our deluxe Djembes as a collectors item, and so will you.

Features

• SINGLE LOG MAHOGANY: the shell is hand made out of a single piece of solid mahogany from certified managed forests (NOT glued together wood pieces); the exterior is beautifully hand carved and looks great for decoration in your home or studio
• WHY IT MATTERS: single log means there are no seams in the wood, so the shell produces extra-rich tone with resonant bass; this also eliminates stress points, making the shell extraordinarily durable
• ZOOM IN: the exterior is exquisitely carved with figures from The Ramayana, an epic Hindu legend and love story of Rama and Sita; there will be slight variations in the handmade artwork, making each djembe one-of-a-kind
• DRIVING THE SOUND: you can get plenty of range from its premium goat skin rawhide head–from boomy bass to cutting slaps; it fills space indoors and outside if you’re playing in drum circles
• OF NOTE: the djembe comes tuned and ready to play right out of the box; the West African Mali Weave rope tuning system holds a long-lasting pitch, and we pre-stretch the ropes so it sounds great right away (comes with tuning instructions)
• BY THE NUMBERS: mahogany shell measures 14″ wide x 26″ tall and weighs about 22 lbs; goat skin head measures 14″ with a 12″ playing area (head is slightly larger than the playing area because it wraps around and down the rim)
• THE BOTTOM LINE: this handmade, professional level djembe gives you rich, clean, and resonant tone in any musical setting–live or studio; plus, you might get compliments on its good looks
• 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
