• Remove old rope and replace with 5.5mm non-stretch rope (different color choices available).
• We wrap rings with fabric (color choices available) and tie the loops with 4mm black rope.

• We can also replace any ring that is no longer good.
This drum was played in the desert at Burning Man, and then left untouched for months. It had sand stuck to the shell everywhere! The shell needed a full repair service: fix several cracks, cleaning, sanding, re-oiling and rewaxing. After that, the rings were retied and wrapped. Finally, a brand new 5.5mm rope and a premium goatskin from Guinea.
This drum was resurrected!
We can fix any djembe! We will use our 5.5mm Rope to assure it won’t break after tuning.
This big 15 inch djembe used to belong to Famoudou Konate! Restored!
We also repair Dunduns, Sangbans, Kenkenis and many other drums with skins.
Fill out our repair intake form and we'll get back to you with instructions for how to pay for your repair and continue the process.
