Installation
The Tycoon Percussion Kanjira arrives ready for use. To optimize the sound, the player can manipulate the tension of the goat skin head by applying moisture (typically with a damp cloth) to the skin, which allows the pitch to be adjusted and tightened for those signature sharp slap tones. No complex assembly is required.
Compatibility
This is a standalone acoustic percussion instrument. It is compatible with any musical setting, from unplugged acoustic performances to amplified stages using external microphones for sound reinforcement.
