"I purchased a djembe "Adowa" as a birthday present to myself. I was hesitant to purchase a drum online without actually handling it and playing it. It arrived on time and is a beautiful piece of work. I am enjoying the crisp voice of my new drum. This djembe is my new favourite amongst my other drums. Thank you."
