Handmade 12" Djembe (USED)

Our Notes: In very good condition. There are some scratches/imperfections in the wood due to normal use. The drumhead also has some noticeable wear and a handwritten green "X" that the previous owner likely drew. 

The djembe drum is said to have been invented in the 12th Century by the Mandinke tribe in what is now Mali, in West Africa. It has been played by West Africans for generations forming an integral part of ritualistic life in Mali, Guinea, Senegal and other neighbouring West African countries. Djembes typically have a body (or shell) carved of hardwood and a drumhead made of untreated (not limed) rawhide, most commonly made from goatskin.
