Meinl 13" Artifact Series Rope Tuned Djembe
The Headliner Series Artifact Djembe from Meinl is a rope-tuned drum that brings together traditional West African craftsmanship and striking visual character. Each shell is hand-carved from a single piece of plantation-grown mahogany, giving it a rich, warm tone with strong bass, open tones, and crisp slaps. The 13" playing surface features a hand-selected goatskin head that responds naturally across a wide dynamic range, while the Mali-weave tuning system with pre-stretched nylon rope provides reliable tension and easy adjustment. The aged natural finish and hand-carved black-painted motifs give this djembe a distinctive, organic look that sets it apart from factory-produced instruments. Whether used in drum circles, classroom settings, or on stage, it delivers an authentic playing experience rooted in tradition.
