Meinl 10″ Rope Tuned Professional African Style Djembe

Meinl 10″ Rope Tuned Professional African Style Djembe is a compact, high-quality hand drum made for players who want rich tone and traditional style in a portable size. Whether you’re playing in a drum circle, a classroom, or on stage, this djembe delivers deep bass, sharp slaps, and crisp open tones with ease.

Materials and Build Quality

The shell is hand-carved from a single piece of sustainably sourced mahogany. It’s finished with beautiful decorative carvings and a dark stain that highlights the natural wood grain. A carefully selected goatskin head offers excellent response and a warm, full sound.

The rope tuning system uses strong, pre-stretched nylon with 20 vertical runners for stable tuning. You can easily adjust the tension by hand—no tools required. The drum comes pre-tuned and ready to play right out of the box.

Performance and Use Case

This 10″ djembe is ideal for players who need a reliable and lightweight drum. It’s perfect for drum circles, travel, music therapy, and small performances. The size makes it easy to carry, while the sound remains strong enough to hold its own in a group setting.

It’s also a great choice for younger players or those with smaller hands who still want professional tone and feel.
