The following is a rate chart for the most common Drums
we work on and a basic breakdown of the work we do.

DJEMBE

Djembe – The authentic African djembe is a very unique
drum and has an amazing range of sounds. Because of this
it has become the most popular hand drum in the world.  
Soon it will be the most widely used hand drum, surpassing
the conga.  To imitate the traditional language, the djembe
was developed with a high-tension tuning and wide tonal
range.  There are certain aspects of its construction that
are required to achieve an authentic sound and a well
working drum.  Many djembes have been manufactured in
the last ten years for the world commercial market – not
all of them skillfully crafted musical instruments capable
of producing decent sounds. However, most of the ones
lacking certain fine points in their construction can be
reworked into very respectable drums.  It is  Gypsy
Djembe Repair's goal to help in fine-tuning and
remanufacturing all drums into higher quality musical
instruments.

Every African djembe is unique.  The prices are based on
an average size and typically constructed drum.  There
are always exceptions and your drum will have to be
inspected by Gypsy for a final repair quote.
