GWP provides the new head which is a high quality goat skin. For an extra $15 they will fit your djembe with premium quality goat skin which is thicker and sounds fuller when played. It's also more durable. Cow skins for large solo djembes are also available.
After years of use any rope begins to fray and loose strength. Giving World Percussion offers durable low stretch ropes in nearly any size and color. All rope is high quality 100% Polyester with less stretch than most nylon cords. The following prices are based on an average djembe with 24 cradles, 12" diameter, and 12" vertical ropes.
Standard Black 4mm - $25 MBS 517 lb
Standard Black 5mm - $30 MBS 1056 lb
There is an additional charge of $20 to re-fit your djembe with entirely new rope including rings.
Shipping costs are not included in repair pricing.
