Djembe Shells

Djembe Shells for all our builders out there.
These shells are as they arrived from Africa, some ready to head and some, in our opinion should get some finishing
touches like heads flattened then rimmed. For those not wishing to do anything to the shells just build a drum without any other work involved we sell kits. All our kits are cleaned up and ready to build with the rim done to our specifications, and oiled ready to be roped up.
