This ancient African instrument has become a world percussion favorite because of the extraordinary array of tones it produces. The Giovanni Djembe is beautifully crafted of fine ash in the traditional shape and is accented by a fabric band decorating the waist of the drum. A clear finish brings out the vivid grain of the wood and enhances the drum's frequency range. The select goatskin head is chosen for its resonance and tonal diversity. A Comfort Curve II rim makes playing easy on the hands.
