The adowa is a peg-tension drum native to Ghana, and has a unique, mellow, very tonal sound. The technique for the Adowa is relatively light, as opposed to the conga or even the djembe. All African Heartwood Project adowas are covered by our warranty, and feature: * individual tuning and testing - comes to you ready to play * solid one-piece construction using Mansonia, a legally harvested tropical drum wood * treated with at least 3 coats of coconut oil and shea butter, to hydrate and beautify wood * new calf skin, closely shaved to eliminate uncomfortable stubble and improve sound * basic playing and care instructions available online * bottom rim and bearing edge coated with wax to protect and seal the wood
After import from Africa, each instrument is cleaned, inspected, tuned, and played individually to check sound and quality.
