Installation
The Tycoon Canary Burst Djembe arrives ready for use. To achieve your desired pitch, use the included tuning wrench on the 5/16″ lugs. Tighten the lugs in a cross-pattern (star pattern) to ensure the goat skin head is tensioned evenly across the Classic-Pro hoops. This prevents uneven stress on the shell and ensures a clear, harmonic tone.

This is a standalone physical percussion instrument. It is compatible with standard djembe playing techniques and can be integrated into any acoustic or amplified percussion ensemble.
