      I use the djembe to center and become grounded, connected to the earth and her wildlife. It has been a great investment for me, a beautiful instrument, and a well crafted bag to store it in!

      Great djembe, easy to play, but I still needed to pay $50 more dollars to have it tuned/tightened as it does not come that way. Also, this drum comes from Thailand not Africa.

      I'm confused about sizing. I need the head to be at least 12 inches. Which is the right size to order?

      Is this drum come tuned? One review states a $50 fee to tune the drum. Who wants a instrument that is not tuned. Also, I am a novice player: Is this drum a good item for the less advanced player?
