About this item

• FITS ON A BOOKSHELF: the Meinl Mini Djembe has the same build as our traditional size wood djembes but scaled-down for room décor; it's small enough for a desk, end table, or bookshelf
• WHY IT MATTERS: it's a fun, novelty size drum that's a perfect gift for musicians; also great if you're hunting for an earthy, handmade piece for your home's aesthetic
• ZOOM IN: the shell is hand made out of a single piece of solid mahogany from certified managed forests (NOT glued together wood pieces); the exterior is beautifully hand painted
• OF NOTE: this Mini Djembe has the traditional West African Mali Weave rope tuning system and natural goat skin rawhide head; the head is secured with the ropes and does produce tone
• BY THE NUMBERS: measures 4.5" W x 8" H and weighs around 1 pound
• THE BOTTOM LINE: the Meinl Mini Djembe is a standout decoration piece for any room or studio with its high-quality materials and hand painted motif
• THE BIG PICTURE: Meinl is a family-owned musical instrument manufacturer and brand established 1951 in Germany; our expert German designers have deep relationships with our builders to ensure you're delivered the absolute finest quality

• TENNESSEE SMALL BUSINESS: we're a small team specializing in high quality percussion instruments and mallets using the best materials possible; our wood shop is in Nashville, Tennessee, and your choice supports American jobs
• WHY IT MATTERS: we don't just simply "source" products from overseas factories and put our logo on it; controlling design and production in-house lets us focus on first-class construction to make professional, highly intentional, long-lasting instruments
• MADE IN USA FROM SOLID HARDWOOD: the Timber Drum Co. wood block is constructed from a solid piece of real Tennessee hardwood to give it an organic, warm and woody sound that plastic blocks can never fully replicate
• SIZE: this medium size wood block measures 7" long x 2.5" deep x 1.8" high and creates a pitch that fits between the large and small versions of this block
• WHAT'S IN THE BOX: includes 8" mallet with hard polymer head to produce a sharp, knocking attack note with plenty of volume; 4 rubber feet are also included in the package and are applied by using their adhesive side
• ONE BIG THING: crafted from one solid piece of hardwood, this block is exceptionally durable and can withstand multiple uses from mallets and other percussion tools; for the best tone, play near the center and close to the edge
• RECOMMENDED FOR: concert percussion, live musicals, school/community bands, live rocks bands, professional recordings or any other setting where you need an authentic, sharp wood block sound that can carry through other instruments
• THE TAKEAWAY: buying this wood block supports an American company and Tennessee workers, and it's a solid choice for all-around use; for all ages and skill levels
