I was looking for a good percussion instrument. out of all, I chose Djembe, it's easy to lean and understand the different frequencies which It produces and I am glad the I chose the 10'' Schalloch. Key points will definitely be the structure good quality of Mahogany wood, hand carved which is distinctively observed and Goat skin diaphragm/cover which is till date good, its been more than 6 months now and most importantly the sound it produces is absolute pleasure.
