Meinl 10" Rope Tuned Headliner Series Wood Djembe - Artifact Series
SKU: HDJ17-MThe Headliner Artifact Series Wood Djembe from Meinl brings an aged, weathered aesthetic that looks like a well-traveled relic right out of the box. Each shell is carved from a single piece of plantation-grown mahogany and features hand-carved motifs with black painted accents that enhance its rustic character. The hand-selected goatskin head delivers warm, open tones with rich bass and crisp slaps, while the traditional Mali-weave rope tuning system with pre-stretched synthetic nylon rope provides reliable tension and minimizes the need for frequent retuning. Whether you're drumming in a circle, practicing at home, or adding organic percussion to a session, this djembe offers authentic sound and striking visual character in a comfortable 10" size.
A Note on Natural Skin Heads
This instrument has a genuine goatskin head, so no two are exactly alike. Natural variations in color, spots, and grain are normal, and the head will often darken, discolor, or pick up light marks over time from playing, handling, and changes in humidity. These changes are part of the character of a natural skin and are not a defect.
