Features

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 (Congo Finish)
The hand carved mahogany shell is finished with an ancient ornamental Congo motif around the bottom - the hand made design means no two djembes are exactly alike, making each drum one-of-a-kind
