As a traditional rope-tuned instrument, this djembe does not require mechanical assembly. To achieve the desired pitch, the user must tighten the 5mm non-stretch rope using traditional weaving or pulling techniques. Once the rope is tensioned, the head will tighten, increasing the pitch of the slap and bass tones. No additional tools are required for basic tuning.
