MEINL Percussion - "How to tune a Djembe"
Description
The Meinl Artifact Series Hand Carved Djembe. This 8" djembe features an aged natural wood finish and hand-carved motif for an authentic, relic-like appearance. The hand carvings are painted in black to accentuate the designs against the rustic mahogany shell. A hand-selected goatskin head is secured using the traditional Mali-weave tuning system with pre-stretched nylon ropes. This djembe is perfect for percussionists looking to add an organic, worldly element to their sound.
Hand Carved Mahogany Shell
Carved from a single piece of plantation-grown mahogany, the shell of this djembe has a rustic, aged quality with intricate hand carvings painted in black. The carvings give each djembe a unique, artisanal feel while the mahogany wood provides a warm, resonant tone.
Goatskin Drumhead
A hand-selected goatskin drumhead is secured to the mahogany shell using the traditional Mali-weave tuning system. The goatskin head produces a natural, organic tone with subtle overtones. Easily tuned using the pre-stretched nylon ropes, you can achieve a range of tones from high-pitched slaps to low, booming bass notes.
Compact, Portable Size
At 8" in diameter and 15-3⁄4" tall, this djembe is compact enough to transport easily while still producing a full, resonant tone. The smaller size makes this an ideal djembe for percussionists, students and beginners.
The Perfect Addition to Any Percussion Setup
With its rustic finish, hand carvings and natural goatskin drumhead, this djembe adds an authentic world percussion element to any drum setup. Used alone or incorporated into a larger percussion rig, this djembe produces organic tones that elevate any performance.
