Great service, quick and free delivery!
For the packaging, contrary to some reviews that I read, complaining of a lack of protection for the instrument, mine was very well protected.
The instrument...
Firstly, I should say that I have bought this as an instrument to learn on, so I have no expertise in which to evaluate the djembe.
I purchased a djembe for my young son, so that we can learn together - his is a Schalloch 700.M 10" Djembe Medium, which in terms of size seems a good fit for him.
The Afroton produces a much deeper, fuller bass sound, that sounds more "natural" - personally I love it! The difference in sound is exactly what feedback on the two already highlights and given the difference in both price and size, I think that this is to be expected. I hesitated between this one and the Thomann NN32 Djembe, which was of a similar price but having listened many times to the sound recording (great service to provide to offer a tangible evaluation of an instrument) opted for this one. My advice would be to listen to the sounds produced and to choose the best for you!
