MEINLArtifact Series Hand-Carved Djembe 12 in. Brown
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The 12-inch brown MEINL Artifact Series Hand-Carved Djembe pairs a one-piece plantation-grown mahogany shell with an aged natural-wood look and black-accented carved details. Its hand-selected goatskin head is secured with a traditional Mali-weave tuning arrangement and pre-stretched nylon rope. The result is a djembe built around an organic hand-drum voice, with tuning that can move between sharper slaps and deeper bass notes as part of a percussion rig or on its own.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Adding a 12-inch djembe with a goatskin head to a percussion rig.
- Players who want rope-based tuning for higher slaps and lower bass notes.
- Percussion setups that value an aged wood appearance with hand-carved black detailing.
