The djembe is a goblet-shaped handdrum, originating in West Africa hundreds of years ago. The name djembe means "tree-goat", a literal description of the shell carved from a tree, and the drum head of a goat skin. Even today, goat skin is nearly always used on djembes, as it seems to be ideal for producing the wide range of tones that make the djembe so popular. Africans use a variety of hardwoods for djembes, including tweneboa, demba, iroko and linke.

I am pleased to offer these high-quality djembes at an exceptional price!
These djembes are handcrafted in Ivory Coast by talented drummakers. The
wooden shell is carved from a solid section of Iroko wood. Iroko is hard
and heavy, a traditional wood for djembe drums. The exterior maintains its
authentic, handcarved appearance. The skin is smooth and clean. The rings
and rope are of excellent quality. The djembes vary somewhat in size, from
medium to large, so please express your preference. To assure your
satisfaction, I will tune-up your drum so it will sound great when you
receive it!
