The 9" djembe is perfect for primary school children.

 

This beautifully crafted Ghanaian djembe is tuned to a precise pitch, with high-quality rope ensuring it holds its tuning for a long time. The result is a deep bass and a sharp, crisp edge slap.

 

Made from Tweneboa, a sustainable West African Cedar of a very best quality, the drum is carved with meaningful Adinkra symbols. Each drum is uniquely carved with its own symbols, giving it a personal touch. You can explore the meanings behind Adinkra symbols here. Tweneboa is also a lightweight wood compared to hardwood alternatives, making the djembe easier to carry.

 

Unlike factory-made versions, these genuine fair-trade drums are handmade in Ghana by professional musicians, designed to be played and loved.

 

  • Every drum is handcrafted by skilled musicians we've partnered with for over 20 years, supporting and preserving ancient Ghanaian musical traditions.

  • The instruments are all individually handmade, rather than mass-produced in factories.

  • The body is made from sustainably sourced Tweneboa, a fast-growing wood, obtained under licence from the Ghana Forestry Commission.

  • The durable goat skins are unbleached, providing superior sound quality.

  • Every drum is polished with sesame oil and carefully tuned before being sent to you.

 

If you're looking for a genuine djembe with heart, heritage, and a beautiful sound, this is it.

    What an amazing djembe!! Delivery was super quick. It was very well packaged and the bag was the most beautiful piece of sewing with fabulous material used to create it. We will have one extremely happy granddaughter on Christmas morning. Thank you SO much. Great person to deal with.

    We were looking an authentic djembe with a good sound for my son. The drum is beautiful and has a lovely clean sound. My son is very happy with it and it’s also attractive to look at. Very pleased with our purchase.
