Introducing the Percussion Plus Honestly Made Ghanaian dundunba - 14"
The dundunba is a double ended West African drum, traditionally played horizontally. As the largest, deepest sounding of the three drums that make up the dundun family (pronounced djundjun), it normally serves as the bass of the ensemble, producing resonant low tones.
The dundunba is a wonderful addition to music education settings; it is perfect for underpinning almost any percussion ensemble, especially those involving djembes. The sonorous timbre of a dundunba adds a certain gravitas to performances, and it is an immensely satisfying instrument to strike!
These quality dundunbas are hand carved in Ghana using traditional materials and methods, and are wrapped in brightly coloured, intricately patterned fabric. The two natural hide heads are rope tensioned to provide accurate pitch and create the perfect timbre to underpin djembe music and other ensembles.
This particular dundunba can be combined with the PP6620 10” kenkeni and PP6621 12” sangban to make a full dundun set.
