It with great sadness we have to announce that one of our best friends and accomplished drum builders has passed. Susan Iwaniw is at peace after a brief illness with cancer. Sandy and I had the opportunity to visit with her before she passed. At that time we decided to build a djembe in her honor. It is one that she had prepared for building. It has sold. The profits will go to Hospice, the organization that really helped Susan and her family with this sad transition.

Once our air shipment arrives we will put them her on the website and we'll announce their arrival on Facebook and maybe even a newsletter.
