Djembé # 2 – Prestige serie — Black Cassia from Mali
An exceptional instrument, crafted for the discerning player.
This Prestige Series djembe is carved from a rare and exceptional black cassia wood sourced from Mali. Dried for over ten years, this remarkable shell benefits from outstanding stability : it resists warping during skin mounting and delivers a fully developed sound at its most accomplished potential. The grain and colour variations of this wood are breathtakingly beautiful — every instrument is truly unique.
A Mastered Drying Process for a Perfect Shell
Drying is a crucial — and delicate — step in the making of a djembe. As the wood loses its moisture, it works and can warp. To anticipate this, the shell was carved with an intentional extra thickness, then left to dry for ten years. Once the wood was perfectly stabilised and its final shape reached, the extra thickness was carefully removed to reveal a perfectly round shell, of flawless regularity and lasting stability.
It is this rigour in the manufacturing process that guarantees not only the beauty of the shell, but also the consistency and quality of the sound over time.

A Carefully Selected Skin
We have selected a magnificent medium-thickness spotted goat skin from Mali, which enhances this instrument even further. It contributes to an exceptional tonal balance: the bass tones are powerful and deep, while the slaps are delivered with remarkable clarity and crispness. The sound is rich, warm, and generously projected—equally suited to accompaniment playing and solo performance.
From the very first strokes, the outstanding quality of the instrument speaks for itself.
