Installation
The Master Handcrafted Original Series Djembe arrives ready for use. To achieve your desired pitch, use the included tuning wrench to tighten the 5/16″ diameter lugs. It is recommended to tighten the lugs in a cross-pattern (star pattern) to ensure the goat skin head is tensioned evenly across the Chrome Deluxe hoop, preventing uneven stress on the skin.
Compatibility
This is a standalone acoustic percussion instrument. It is compatible with standard djembe playing techniques (slap, tone, and bass) and can be integrated into any musical arrangement requiring hand percussion.
