Traditional Tuning, Modern Playability

Pearl's Rope Tuned Djembe is a combination of tradition and modern appointments. The modern player travels from cold to hot climates frequently, which would crack any wooden djembe. That's why Pearl has blended the traditional rope tuning method with modern shell construction. This fusion results in an instrument that sounds superb while being able to stand up to the abuse that a modern player will put it through. The percussion experts at Sweetwater agree that the simulated skin head feels great and plays just as well as a natural skin head. And the Pearl Rope Tuned Djembe's woven rope tuning system doesn't just look great, the head can be fine-tuned and will stay in tune with no questions asked.

Pearl 12-inch Rope Tuned Djembe Features:

  • Traditional rope tuning system allows for accurate tuning that lasts
  • Seamless synthetic shell is superbly resonant and strong
  • Simulated skin head feels responsive and adds durability
  • 12-inch size easily fits in djembe stands
