Description
TRAVEL-FRIENDLY TRADITIONAL DJEMBE: the Travel Series Djembe puts up with outdoor elements like dirt, sand, moisture, and sun; plus, it's easy to clean and lightweight while featuring traditional West African style tuning ropes for a classic look.WHY IT MATTERS: you can play more outdoor settings like drum circles without hassle since the djembe requires little to no maintenance; the Travel Djembe is always ready to go from beaches to parks to open mic night.HOW IT WORKS: the shell and head are 100% all-weather synthetic material, so they won't expand or contract with changes in weather which can affect tuning and longevity; this material also resists dents/scratches and cuts down weight.ONE TAKEAWAY: it's easy to get thumping bass and crisp slap tones that carry across distance; strike the center of the head with your palm for bass and near the rim with the length of your fingers for high-pitched slaps.OF NOTE: the djembe comes tuned and ready to play right out of the box; the West African Mali Weave rope tuning system holds a long-lasting pitch, and we pre-stretch the ropes so it sounds great right away (comes with tuning instructions).BY THE NUMBERS: shell measures 10" wide x 20" tall and weighs about 4.8 lbs; head measures 10" with an 8" playing area (head is slightly larger than the playing area because it wraps around and down the rim).THE BOTTOM LINE: have fun playing the Travel Series Djembe anywhere, and don't worry wondering if it'll hold up; it's made for all skill levels and comes ready to play right out of the box.THE BIG PICTURE: Meinl is a family-owned musical instrument manufacturer and brand established 1951 in Germany; our expert German designers have deep relationships with our builders to ensure you're delivered the absolute finest quality
