As a part of this process, you can also monitor the tension of the heads. If you find that an adjuster has come loose or a head seems slack, loosen off the entire head to thumb-tight and then re-tune using the included mini spanner. The best way to do this evenly is to tune opposite pairs, and the following diagram will give you the correct order in which to tune various sizes of surdo, caixa, repinique and tamborim:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;\"\u003e\u003cimg style=\"max-width:850px;max-height:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.frederickhyde.com\/description_images\/izzo_care_diagram.jpg\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe schematic above demonstrates the correct order for tightening the nuts onto the hooks of a Surdo.\u003c\/strong\u003e This way the tension is spread most evenly.

As a part of this process, you can also monitor the tension of the heads. If you find that an adjuster has come loose or a head seems slack, loosen off the entire head to thumb-tight and then re-tune using the included mini spanner. The best way to do this evenly is to tune opposite pairs, and the following diagram will give you the correct order in which to tune various sizes of surdo, caixa, repinique and tamborim:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;\"\u003e\u003cimg style=\"max-width:850px;max-height:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.frederickhyde.com\/description_images\/izzo_care_diagram.jpg\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe schematic above demonstrates the correct order for tightening the nuts onto the hooks of a Surdo.\u003c\/strong\u003e This way the tension is spread most evenly. Start with all the nuts just finger tight and then tighten each nut in turn by half a turn (starting with nut number 1, then 2, then 3 etc.). When you've tightened all the nuts, check the tuning. If a higher pitch is needed, repeat the process (again starting with nut number 1) by a quarter turn at a time and carry on until you're happy with the sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen tuning a set of three surdos (14\", 16\" and 18\") start with the 18\" and tighten it until the sound is nicely resonant (not \"flat\"). The tune the 16\" until the pitch is higher than the 18\".

The main sounds produced by the djembe are bass, tone and slap. Bass is a low-pitched note played in the centre of the drum. Tone, a medium-pitched sound, is made by striking the djembe skin right at the edge. Finally, slap is the most technically challenging sound of the djembe: a high-pitched note played near the edge of the djembe skin, it is similar to ‘tone’ but the hand is positioned slightly further towards the centre of the drum skin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"description-block\"\u003e\n    \u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2858\/8212\/files\/Desc_4.jpg?v=1770119771\"\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"text\"\u003e\n        \u003ch2\u003eCultural significance\u003c\/h2\u003e\n        \u003cp\u003eOriginating in West Africa, djembes have been a key part of spiritual traditions and rituals for generations.

As a part of this process, you can also monitor the tension of the heads. If you find that an adjuster has come loose or a head seems slack, loosen off the entire head to thumb-tight and then re-tune using the included mini spanner. The best way to do this evenly is to tune opposite pairs, and the following diagram will give you the correct order in which to tune various sizes of surdo, caixa, repinique and tamborim:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;\"\u003e\u003cimg style=\"max-width:850px;max-height:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.frederickhyde.com\/description_images\/izzo_care_diagram.jpg\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe schematic above demonstrates the correct order for tightening the nuts onto the hooks of a Surdo.\u003c\/strong\u003e This way the tension is spread most evenly. Start with all the nuts just finger tight and then tighten each nut in turn by half a turn (starting with nut number 1, then 2, then 3 etc.). When you've tightened all the nuts, check the tuning. If a higher pitch is needed, repeat the process (again starting with nut number 1) by a quarter turn at a time and carry on until you're happy with the sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen tuning a set of three surdos (14\", 16\" and 18\") start with the 18\" and tighten it until the sound is nicely resonant (not \"flat\"). The tune the 16\" until the pitch is higher than the 18\". Finally tune the 14\", again to a higher pitch than the 16\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you're tuning more than one surdo of each size, tune all the 18\" first, then all the 16\" etc. Use the same order for tightening the nuts on the Caxia, Repeniques and Tamborims.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;\"\u003e\n\u003ciframe style=\"display:block;margin:0 auto;padding:20px; border:4px solid #1b9b44;\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ybbPKaRFK_M?si=sZQjR7zLdfMuZb6G\" title=\"NUVO Toot: Detailed Repair Instructions\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n","brand":"Izzo","offers":[{"title":"A1","offer_id":55040747241859,"sku":"IZZO-JUNIOR30","price":1133.25,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2858\/8212\/files\/c311dde6a56c4111_0e329f40-bac1-4384-8a92-6fcac5f9b3ef.jpg?v=1780658336"},{"product_id":"pp2053","title":"Percussion Plus Honestly Made African basket","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"description-block corner\"\u003e \u003cimg style=\"margin-top:70px;\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.frederickhyde.com\/description_images\/PP2053_1.jpg\"\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"text\"\u003e \u003ch2 style=\"color:#84381e\"\u003eIntroducing the Percussion Plus Honestly Made African basket \u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe perfect tool for introducing traditional African sounds, this African basket contains thirteen traditional instruments contained in colourful woven Senegalese basket. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eEach item has been lovingly handcrafted by local makers using sustainable materials.
