Installation
The Supremo Select Series Djembe is ready for play upon arrival. 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 hoop, preventing uneven stress on the skin.
Compatibility
This is a standalone physical percussion instrument. It is compatible with standard djembe accessories, including optional carrying bags and djembe stands (sold separately).
