Meinl Percussion Djembe with Mahogany Wood – NOT Made in CHINA – 10-Inch Medium Size Rope Tuned Natural Head, 2-Year…

The hand carved shells feature a horizontal ripple motif that suggests a flowing river. This exterior texture also makes the djembe easy to grip between the knees. Hand selected goat heads are secured and tuned by the traditional Mali-Weave system made of high quality nylon rope . MEINL Headliner djembes have outstanding acoustic properties reaching from deep, resonant bass notes to cutting, high-pitched slaps, and are ready to pick up and play right out of the box. For added protection of your instrument, MEINL specializes in carrying bags for their percussion products. The MEINL djembe gig bag (Model# MSTDJB) is perfect for all djembe sizes and is equipped with heavy duty nylon stitching and a strong shoulder strap.

For players of any skill level — you don’t have to be a trained musician to play the Meinl Headliner Series djembe — this drum can be enjoyed for theraputic purposes, playing jam sessions, participating in drum circles or performing with a band
Carved from one solid piece of plantation grown mahogany — the Meinl Headliner Series djembe is carved from solid mahogany that projects a rich tone with booming low notes and plenty of sustain — this shell stands 20″ tall from base to drum head (medium)
Hand-selected traditional rawhide head (10″ diameter) — goatskin heads produce classic djembe sounds with a warm, yet cutting tone while being remarkably durable — play toward the center for a boomy bass sound and slap the edges for sharp, popping accents
Mali weave rope tuning system — 18 nylon rope runners (4 mm thickness) securely fasten the head to the shell for a long-lasting and proper tuning with a classic look — comes ready to play and fully tuned right out of the box so you can play right away
Hand carved motif (Black River finish) — the hand carved mahogany shell is finished with a horizontal ripple effect that evokes the image of a flowing river — the hand made design means no two djembes are exactly alike, making each drum one-of-a-kind
