Handcrafted African Talking Drum

The talking drum is a unique instrument from West Africa. The drum is played by placing it under one arm and striking the drum with the included stick.  This handcrafted dondo drum, its hourglass figure veiled in cords of fishermen's thread, strung tautly to tune the opposing goatskin drumheads. Various tribes in Ghana employ the dondo. It has an influential sound when accompanying other instruments because the hollow body of tweneboa wood resonates powerfully.

Approximately 9-10" tall 4-5" Diameter

Made in Mali.
