This fantastic Ghanaian talking drum features two drumheads around an hourglass-shaped body. Leather tension cords connect the drumheads, allowing the player to easily adjust the pitch by squeezing the cords between their arm and body.
It comes with a beater and is available in vibrant colours such as red, pink, orange, and yellow. If you have a colour preference, just let us know - otherwise, the colour will be selected at random.
The wood, Tweneboa, is a sustainable West African Cedar of the very best quality and is a lightweight wood compared to hardwood alternatives.
Unlike factory-made versions, these genuine fair-trade drums are handmade in Ghana by professional musicians, designed to be played and loved.
- Every drum is handcrafted by skilled musicians we've partnered with for over 20 years, supporting and preserving ancient Ghanaian musical traditions.
- The instruments are all individually handmade, rather than mass-produced in factories.
- The body is made from sustainably sourced Tweneboa, a fast-growing wood, obtained under licence from the Ghana Forestry Commission.
- The durable goat skins are unbleached, providing superior sound quality.
- Every drum is carefully tuned before being sent to you.
If you're looking for a genuine instrument with heart, heritage, and a beautiful sound, this is it.
