    Hand-carved Guinea Djembe Drum - 13" X 24" - Solid Hardwood, Goat Skin Head
    Item Description
    Hand-carved Guinea Djembe Drum - 13" X 24" - Solid Hardwood, Goat Skin Head These djembes from Guinea are considered by many importers to be fully professional instruments. Indeed, in terms of Guinea exports, they are among the best available. Each djembe is hand carved out of specialty hardwoods such as Lenke, Har, Acajou, or Dugara. The dimensions and shape of the shell are typyical of top-rate Guinea style djembes. Each Guinea djembe has a standard thick skin, either twisted or molded over the top ring, and a thick rubber foot permanently mounted to the bottom edge. Artistic geometric designs are tastefully deepcarved into the base. Each djembe is tuned very tight, with the first row started, so you can expect to get clear, distinct sounds right out of the box. Starting with our money back guarantee, here is what the Heartwood Paragon Guinea djembe features: * 12"-13" OSD wood, 24-25" full height, 9-10" " OSD base, 15-20 lbs * Hand-selected Lenke, Har, Acajou, or Dugara wood, solid one piece construction, uniform thickness, clean inside * Wood seasoned and handcarved in Guinea, oiled with shea butter and coconut oil * Tighly tuned standard thick Guinea goat skin, wet shaved and hydrated with a bit of shea butter * 4mm black drum rope for the loops and verts, with varied colors of cloth used for rings * Thick rubber pad permanently fixed around and over the bottom edge, to protect wood and for playing comfort * Comfortably rounded bearing edge, curved and angled for maximum comfort and ease of sound * Skin-over style or skin-twisted style both show advanced knowledge of djembe building * Detailed geometric desigs deep-carved around the stem, adding to its value as a handcrafted instrument * The pictures shown are samples of the djembes described above: the drum we send you will match the description, but not necessarily the photos. At this time we're not offering specific selection over the web.
    Shipping Details
    We know the anticipation associated with ordering a new item you're excited to get. You want it as fast as possible, and when you open the package you want the item you see to be the same item you you believed you were buying. We have successfully shipped thousands of packages containing authentic percussion instruments to our loyal customers around the world.
    HANDLING AND DELIVERY TIME
    Our policy is to ship within 1 business day of payment (weekends and holidays do not count as shipping days). For domestic shipment the package will arrive within 1 week of shipping from our drum shop. For international shipments the delivery can take up to 30 days.
    CARRIERS AND TRACKING
    We normally ship using ground services from UPS and USPS, with delivery confirmation or tracking. This includes UPS Ground, and USPS First Class, Priority, and Media Mail. International shipments almost always are shipped using USPS Priority International Mail. Shipping information is automatically uploaded to your Ebay order when the label is created. You can track your package online using the carriers' websites (UPS.com and USPS.com).
    Both customer and shipper rely on the third party shipping company to deliver the package on time and in good condition. In some cases they make mistakes, and we request your patience in accepting that both buyer and shipper must work together to resolve the carriers' mistakes when they happen. To help reduce errors we ask that you carefully check the address you provide upon checkout. In most cases we cannot change the shipping address once checkout has been completed.
    For international orders we cannot be responsible for undelivered items; once we provide tracking and can show the item has left our drum shop, it is the buyer's responsibility to follow up with their country's shipping system if the item is not delivered. We have no control over final delivery once the item has left the United States.
    FREE SHIPPING
    Most of our items ship within the lower 48 states at no extra charge for ground service. International customers will pay a flat rate per item shipped, as displayed in the item detail. Shipping costs are recovered on returns of items that were shipped at no cost to the customer.
    PACKAGING AND INSERTS
    The heavier and larger a package, the more it costs to ship. We prefer to reduce shipping costs as much as possible, so we take advantage of light weight packaging and packing materials. We limit the materials we include with your item, so don't expect a lot of additional promotional material or product manuals to be included with your item.
    Payment Options
    For Ebay sales we use PayPal as the payment processor. Buyers are not required to have a PayPal account, and can use all major credit and debit cards for purchases from World Percussion USA. PayPal also accepts payment by checking or savings account (requires a free account and verification). In order to expedite delivery after you place your Ebay order, we require all items to be paid for immediately upon purchase.
    Warranty & Returns.
    We do our best to accurately describe each product, and strive to keep happy customers. In the rare event that the item must be returned, notify us within 14 days of purchase. Our Money Back Guarantee and Warranty applies to items returned within 30 days of shipping delivery.
    DAMAGE OR DEFECT
    If the return is due to damage or defect upon arrival notify us within 3 days of arrival, and we will replace or refund the item upon proof of damage. Keep all packing materials in case of shipping insurance investigation. All instruments are warrantied against defect for 30 days from delivery, which includes natural skin drum heads.
    PERSONAL PREFERENCE
    If the return is based on dislike of color, size, or sound, or misunderstanding of item description, you may return the product to our warehouse at your expense, and upon receipt of item in new condition, we will refund the purchase price less the cost of outbound shipping (in the case of free outbound shipping).
    NON-RETURNABLE ITEMS
    We cannot offer returns on goat and cow skins used as replacement drum heads once they have been soaked in water or installed on a drum. Once a drum has been tuned by applying additional tension the drum head warranty may be voided, based on seller's discretion. Hint: Do not overtune your drum by applying too much tension too quickly!
    INTERNATIONAL RETURNS
    International purchases will not be refunded if tracking information shows the item was delivered within 30 days of shipping. A full refund of purchase price will be given if item is returned at buyer expense, and received in new condition
