Djembe shell – Decoratively hand carved by Mohamed Kaleb Sylla in Guinea, West Africa
A beautiful djembe shell which was traditionally hand carved can be purchased "as is" from Wooden Roots.
Alternatively further wood treatments can be applied to the wood i.e. a high polish & oil creating a glass like finish to the wood* or a comfort bearing edge and embellishments (tack work).
If you would like us to custom build this drum for you please call us to make an appointment where we can discuss all your needs and specifications.
Maybe you want to buy this shell as a kit - we can advise you on rope, rings and skin and you can build it yourself.
All shells purchased from Wooden Roots come complete with a serial numbered plaque in the stem of the drum denoting authenticity and quality.
*Not all shells are conducive to this finish - we will let you know if the drum you choose is upon purchase.
DO NOT LET THIS ONE OF A KIND DJEMBE PASS YOU BY!
