Meinl 8" Rope Tuned Headliner Series Wood Djembe - Artifact Series
SKU: HDJ17-SThe Meinl Headliner Series Rope Tuned Wood Djembe delivers authentic West African tone from a shell carved out of a single piece of plantation-grown mahogany. Its hand-selected goat skin head produces a wide tonal range, from deep, warm bass tones in the center to crisp, cutting slaps at the edge. The Mali-weave rope tuning system with pre-stretched nylon ropes provides reliable tension and makes it easy to fine-tune the head to your preferred pitch. Hand-carved motifs and an aged natural finish give each drum a distinctive, traditional appearance. Whether you're drumming in a circle, accompanying a band, or practicing at home, this djembe offers a responsive, expressive playing experience at an accessible price point.
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.
