Installation
This djembe arrives ready for use. To achieve the desired pitch, use the included tuning wrench to tighten the 5/16″ diameter lugs evenly around the Chrome Deluxe hoop. It is recommended to tighten the lugs in a cross-pattern (star pattern) to ensure the goat skin head is tensioned uniformly across the surface.
Compatibility
This is a standalone acoustic percussion instrument. It is compatible with standard djembe playing techniques (hand percussion) and can be used in conjunction with any standard microphone setup for amplification or recording.
