collapse expand iconDescription

The MEINL Original African Style Rope Tuned Wood Djembes are carved from one solid piece of plantation grown Mahogany Wood. These high quality instruments are crafted with great attention to detail and provide an outstanding, full voluminous sound. The Mali-Weave rope tuning system guarantees a proper and long-lasting tuning of the instrument. The Earth Rhythm Series features a carved design in black and brown. Its earthy pattern is evocative of ploughed fields and stalks of grain. The MEINL Original African Style Rope Tuned Djembes come bundled with the Professional Djembe Bag.

      I wanted that real sound that would cut through on the track. Well made and ready to play out the box. For the price, I'm more than satisfied.

    • Best djembe I've ever owned!

      I bought this for my son who is learning Djembe and when it showed up at work I let a seasoned Djembe player look at it and all he could say was "wow." He said it again when he played it and when I told him the price. IMHO, there is no comparison between a real wood Djembe and the synthetic ones. The wood sounds so much more natural.

      Is the "regular" (most expensive) option the "extra-large" size of 12-14 inches?

      Does it have extra rope to tune the head? If so, where is it? Usually it is wrapped around the waist.
