Drum Circle BlogAfrican Djembes are Handmade
When shopping for a djembe drum please understand that these musical instruments are hand made and will at times show natural imperfections. Here's a brief note on what not to worry about:
Most African djembe drums are hand carved in Indonesia or other parts in Asia from a single piece of wood (ex: mahogany). As such, many djembe drums are not going to be perfectly symmetrical or evenly built. It's just a natural part of the process. After all djembes are made with hand tools from skilled craftsman. In some cases the djembe drum will even be lopsided as it rests on the floor. Next: Earth Friendly DjembeLabels: Djembe.Buying.Guide |
