The Meinl Headliner Series Rope Tuned Wood Djembe – Nile Series – Small is a hand-carved, high-quality percussion instrument crafted with attention to detail. Carved plantation mahogany wood creates deep bass notes, full clear tones and crisp, cutting slaps. This is helped by the hand-selected goat skin head for authentic tone and playing feel. With pre-stretched Nylon ropes holding down the tuning, the Djembe keeps its tuning and looks truly authentic.
