My Giftmas Present

Maria gave me a djembe as gift this christmas. A really fascinating instrument. No more drumming on tabletops and jam glasses ;-). I am not sure my neighbors will like it, though.



We got the instrument from a craftsman in Nötsch (a small village in upper Carinthia; thank you Angelika for the tip!), and I could choose it out of a collection of about 12 instruments, all sounding and feeling different. It was really quite interesting how different skins and woods (and size, of course) can affect the sound of such an instrument.
