- Perfect-Pitch head, already tuned
- Light HD shell with a reinforced edge
- Eight colours to split up a group
A child's first djembe
A 12-inch djembe is too tall for a kindergartner, who ends up leaning over the head. The 7-inch Circle, 16 inches tall, slips between the knees of a little one seated on a low chair. The Perfect-Pitch head arrives tuned and, according to LP, stands up to changes in climate, so there is no retuning before every class.
Designed for the classroom
LP's exclusive HD material makes the shell light and tough. The eight colours on offer (purple, red, yellow, blue, white, and blue, orange or green marble) help a teacher form teams or hand out different parts by colour.
The rope system keeps the look of an African djembe. The 10-inch big brother in the same line suits older kids.

Frequently asked questions
- How do you play a small djembe?
- Like a big one: palm in the centre for the bass, fingers near the edge for the tone and the slap; on 7 inches, the motions are simply shorter.
- Is djembe easy to learn?
- The three basic sounds come quickly, which makes it a good first group instrument.
- Djembe or bongos for a child?
- The djembe is played alone, with both hands, with low and high sounds; bongos call for more finger precision.
- How do you care for a djembe?
- A synthetic head wipes clean with a damp cloth; store the drum away from knocks, with nothing resting on the head.
