The Meinl Earth Rhythm Series Original African Rope Tuned Djembe is hand carved and finished in brown and black. This high quality instrument is crafted with great attention to detail and provides an outstanding, full-volume sound. The Meinl Original African Style Rope Tuned Djembe is made from a solid log of plantation grown Mahogany. This wood species has the proper density and stability to assure a high quality Djembe from sustainable sources. Our Djembes are headed with hand selected shaved goatskin. The traditional Mali-Weave tuning system with pre-stretched HTP rope is an easy and reliable way to keep the Djembe in tune. The Djembe is first formed on a lathe. The body is then carefully shaped by hand for a perfect bearing edge and proper interior contours. These factors are critical for optimum sound characteristics: Deep bass notes, full clear tones, and crisp cutting slaps, all without unwanted overtones. This Meinl Original African Rope Tuned Djembes come bundled with a professional quality Djembe bag. The bag is specially constructed from heavy duty nylon with a side pocket and super-sturdy zippers. If the bag is too much protection, try our Professional Djembe Caps. These are elasticized covers to protect the head and bearing portions of the Djembe. They are very sturdy, yet compact and easy to use. The Djembe may be played on our ST-DJEMBE Steely 2 stand or on our TMD Professional Djembe stand. An alternative is our MDJS-1 Professional Djembe strap. This comfortable strap holds the Djembe to your body, leaving you free to move around.
LEARN TO PLAY IN MINUTES strike the center with your whole hand for deep, resonant bass and near the rim with your fingers for high-pitched slap tones; this djembe is a perfect instrument for getting the confidence to play percussion with no experience
WHY IT MATTERS a lot of fun musical adventures don't require time-consuming practice on a drum set; with the Meinl African Style Djembe, you can play in drum circles, acoustic shows with bands, jam with friends and family, or teach students about rhythm
ZOOM IN 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
DRIVING THE SOUND you can get a lot of different sounds from its traditional, pre-tuned goat skin rawhide head; this head produces a classic warm, yet clear tone while being remarkably durable, and comes ready to play right out of the box
INCLUDES BAG comes with our Professional Djembe Bag to make travel easy; it's made with super-rugged 600D polyester that has padded walls, reinforced strap and handles, plus exterior storage for accessories
BY THE NUMBERS mahogany shell measures 10" wide x 20" tall and weighs about 9.5 lbs; goat skin head measures 10" with an 8" playing area (head is slightly larger than the playing area because it wraps around and down the rim)
THE BOTTOM LINE this is your chance to grab a handmade, all-purpose, sturdy djembe that easily produces a wide range of sound indoors or outside; it's not intimidating to play—even if you're a beginner—and looks beautiful on display
