Installation
This instrument arrives as a physical percussion piece. To prepare the djembe for play, ensure the rope tension is balanced across the shell. Use the 5mm non-stretch rope to tighten the head to your preferred pitch. Because the rope is designed to be non-stretch, once your desired tension is achieved, the drum will maintain its tuning more effectively than standard rope djembes.
Compatibility
This is a standalone physical percussion instrument. It is compatible with any musical environment, from unplugged acoustic sessions to amplified stages using external microphones.
