Meinl 10″ Rope Tuned Headliner Series Wood Djembe

Meinl 10″ Rope Tuned Headliner Series Wood Djembe is a compact, lightweight hand drum designed for clear tone, strong projection, and easy portability. Whether you’re playing in a drum circle, classroom, or jam session, this djembe offers the sound and feel of traditional African drums—perfectly sized for travel or younger players.

Materials and Build Quality

The shell is carved from a single piece of solid mahogany. It features hand-carved decorative patterns and a dark brown finish that highlights the wood’s natural beauty. The result is a drum that’s durable, attractive, and built for real-world use.

The head is made from hand-selected goatskin, offering a warm, earthy tone with excellent response. The rope tuning system uses pre-stretched nylon with 18 vertical runners for consistent tension. You can fine-tune the head by hand—no tools needed—making it easy to maintain and play anywhere.

Performance and Use Case

The 10″ size makes this djembe perfect for players who want a full sound in a smaller format. It’s great for group drumming, classroom use, or travel. It also works well for kids, beginners, or musicians with smaller hands. Despite its compact size, it delivers a surprising amount of low-end and projection.
