Classical Heartwood Dunun Drum - XL Dundumba 16 X 32

Description

This extra large dundumba is part of the Classical line of imported drums from Africa Heartwood Project, great for students, schools, and drum circles. The doundoumba (largest) of the set of three is the deepest bass note in the ensemble, and is typically associated with the movement of the feet of the dancers. Identical to the Classical Dundumba drum except in size, this oversize dundumba features 4-6" of extra height, and 1" larger head size, resulting in a deeper, more resonant bass response. Other features include:
* Comes to you tuned up, ready to play out of the box
* Solid one-piece construction using Mansonia, a legally harvested hardwood abundant in West Africa
* Sealed on the outside with transparent wood lacquer to preserve the wood and enhance natural wood grain patterns
* New African cow skin on both sides, hair left on to mellow the sound and for protection
* New, extra-strong synthetic rope, long lasting and durable
* Crown rings wrapped in cloth for long rope life
* Each bearing edge coated with wax to protect and seal the wood
* Tapered wood dunun beater included with each drum
* Hand crafted in Africa by village cultural artisans supported by the non-profit Africa Heartwood Project .
