mine was a 12.5 inches x 60cm, ideal size for a djembe,
it's not made out of djalla, it's only painted red and I wasn't able to see clearly what wood it is, but it really has an incredible sound, so it must be an hardwood anyway. the chiseling isn't a spiral as you would expect, maybe because it's from Ghana and not Mali or Senegal, but it's well made and it has kind of the "mojo of the motherland". the bass/ tone/ slap differentiation is good and it's the perfect djembe to be played along with a guitar or any european instrument, but its sound is too weak in volume to stand against real malian djembes in a traditional african percussions formation.
the skin is handshaved and good quality, a great value, and the outside is beautifully carved (even more beautiful than what it seems in the photo) and this makes it worth it even to impress people on a live session. If you have the opportunity to buy a djembe from a real malian artisan you had better go for that instead. a part from this it's the best commercial djembe i've ever tried, it's undoubtedly ten times better than those ridiculous 350¤ Remo djembes.
