Hand-Carved Teak Djembe Drum – 24" Tall, 12" Head
Traditional West African djembe drum, hand-carved from solid teak and featuring a natural goatskin drumhead. Rope-tuned with durable black nylon for consistent tone and playability, this piece showcases classic craftsmanship with a hand-scraped exterior and visible tool marks throughout. The drum produces a deep, resonant bass and crisp, articulate highs—ideal for both performance and display.
Includes a custom padded carry bag made from a repurposed Ghanaian flour sack dated 1967. Quilted interior, zipper closure, and double shoulder straps add convenience and a unique handmade aesthetic.
A striking combination of musical function and cultural character, perfect for percussionists, world music enthusiasts, or collectors.
