FAQs
What are your Ghanaian djembes made from?
The drum body is carved from cedar wood, the drum hoops are wrapped in African fabric off-cuts, and goat skins are used as the drumhead.
Who makes your African djembes?
Our djembes are hand made in Ghana by professional musicians. Production is split across two sites in Ghana, the shells are shaped and carved inland before being sent to Accra for skinning, roping and shipping. It takes several months to make a quality djembe - from the sustainable sourcing of the African Cedar wood to the final roping and tuning before sending.

A product says it may differ from the listing photographs why?
We trade with mainly small workshops and producers on a Fair Trade basis. Many of our products are entirely handmade and natural variations should be expected, goods received may differ in a number of ways from the picture shown. This should be seen as an asset, not a fault – we believe it is better to have a unique item than mass conformity.
Part of what makes our carved djembes so special is that the artisans are utilizing a natural medium and as such the carver often adapts their designs slightly to work better with the shape of the wood they are given. Wood colours may also vary slightly and show other natural features like knots or light patches.
