I bought this djembe after searching a lot, both on line and on shops in Greece. I was a bit anxious because generally it is not good buying an instrument you have not heard and/or played. Anyway, I decided to go for it and buy it. I have not regreted it once during this one year that I have it!
First of all, the sound is very good: the bass is BASS and the tone and slap are very harmonical and very clear. The sound is very "african", I mean it is the real deal if you are aiming for a more traditional sound and approach.
Also the quality of the wood and the drum head is very good. It is very resistant and also very pleasing to the eye.
In conclusion, I agree and know that there are many djembes that are better but also way more expensive. This instrument here is not expensive and it is trully worth it - every cent.
