  • Item Details

    Meinl African Talking Drums are carved from a solid piece of Mahogany. With two goat skin heads and nylon rope tied in the traditional manner, these instruments exemplify the combination of ancient and modern crafting techniques. This drum is held under one arm and played with a specially-designed curved stick - the 'talking' happens as you squeeze the strings with your arm, which in turn tightens the heads, allowing you complete control of pitch. The carved motif around the drums give them a great visual appeal that will set people 'talking'. Description written by
