    I am amazed at the sound of this thing! I a bigger one before this, and I got this one specifically for its smaller size to fit into my setup. Surprisingly, this one sounds much batter and really cuts through. It really has a great sound; I would recommend this to anyone at any musical level.

  • Really fun and sounds great.

    You can immediately create tunes with the Jumbie Jam. No prior music experience is needed - just imagination. This is a great instrument for those who are inclined to play-by-ear or love experimentation. Because it is fun to play at any age, the Jumbie Jam is the perfect introduction to learning to play steel pans. And since it is such a user-friendly and versatile instrument, the Jumbie Jam could be implemented in classroom, therapeutic and alternative healing situations.

    Is this instrument the same one as the full size? It looks as if the stand is the only difference?

    Just ordered the Jumbie Jam table top steel drum.  Need to know what key it's in...I think G but not sure.  I want to order some music books with CDs but need to know the key.  I'm sure it makes a difference.  Thanks!  Order # GCW2093935425
