Meinl Original African Style Rope Tuned Djembes – Hand-Carved, Full of Character
The Original African Style Rope Tuned Series from Meinl brings together traditional craftsmanship, authentic tone, and beautiful visual artistry. Each djembe is carved from a single piece of plantation-grown mahogany wood, delivering full-volume projection, deep bass, and cutting slaps with a rich, organic tone.
These drums are available in three themed series—Earth Rhythm, Fire Rhythm, and Water Rhythm—each with its own unique hand-carved design and decorative rope accents that reflect the elements they’re named after.
Outfitted with black-colored, hand-selected goat skin heads, pre-stretched HTP nylon ropes, and ornamental carvings, these djembes are both performance-ready instruments and stunning works of art.
