SENEGAL DJEMBE

This Senegal djembe represents well the uniqueness and quality Senegal has to offer. Senegal has created a djembe shape that is totally unique from any other West African country with an elongated bowl and ultra-flared base. Extra-dense Dugura (dimba, duki) wood, with a thick goat skin, tuned with patience and power, combine to create a semi-dry to very-dry, crisp sound with ease of distinction between bass, tone, and slap. Along with a money back guarantee, here is what this pro standard djembe features:
