Djembe repair​
​
PROFESSIONAL DJEMBE REPAIR
​
We offer three levels of Djembe Repair: Basic, Classic, and Professional. All drums that didn't come from our shop originally will need the Classic repair. Exceptions apply for drums from other reputable shops. Please note the prices listed are for full size adult drums 13x24 and bigger. We use a variety of goat skins of different thickness from Guinea, Mali, and Senegal and will work with you to carefully choose the best skin and tuning for your djembe based on your drum and playing style.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
Dunun Repair​
​
PROFESSIONAL DUNUN REPAIR
The dunun family are the backbone of the djembe orchestra, and deserve the same care. Most of our Professional dunun repairs are done "traditional style", or sewn on to the drum. This can be done with or without the use of a metal ring, and has a classic look and feel. Professional dunun repairs include skin replacements with top quality African cow skin (Guinea, Mali, or Ivory Coast), all new rope of your color choice, and refreshing the shell. We can replace single heads on most any dunun, traditional style or with rings, depending on existing materials. Single head repairs on dununs with rings start at $125. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
