Djembe Iroko Tanga

 Hours and hours of work are needed to make a Djembe Iroko Tanga. Entirely handmade in Ivory Coast, the Iroko djembes series by Tanga is undoubtedly the best market. Two essential steps are necessary for the manufacture of these djembes:

 The size of the timber. The woods are cut into logs 62 / 63cm long. Only those whose heartwood ( the heart of the tree) is greater than 33 cm is selected. The ball is stripped of its bark and sapwood surrounding the heart with an ax and then pierced right through its center a hole 15 cm in diameter, with an iron bar provided with a gauge at its end. This will lighten the wood, reducing its size (especially for transportation to the workshop), and promote drying.

 The ball is generally cut, and bring out is the last type of the djembe. The inside without bounds instrument is emptied out utilizing a gouge. The external suit gives its last shape to the instrument, with a spruce called "kamara". The inward tailor looks djembe with a short handle spruce, called "djegui". 

 The get together of the skin and the framework voltage (string): three iron loops are arranged on the djembe (two for the main, a littler one for down), and after that welded. The irons are encompassed by a fabric completing and skin assurance. Fixing bunches are mounted on an upper edge and the lower edge. 

The pressure rope is then introduced through these hubs. The goat skin is absorbed water for a few hours, to give it its adaptability. Shaved, it is mounted on the instrument, and extended to great situating in chamfer djembe. Once dried in the sun, the skin will be extended utilizing the rope by the editors, who, furnished with a wooden handle and bolting forceps will give the fancied instrument sound of the djembe.
