How to put a goatskin head on a rope tuned drum Part 1 of 3
The Main Differences Between a Key Tuned Djembe and a Traditional Djembe
A djembe is an African instrument made out of a tree trunk. It is covered by goatskin and tightened on the sides by a rope to create tension and create the various sounds when hit. You can say it is a type of drum except it produces different sounds depending on where you hit it. If you're planning on buying a djembe, you will have to choose between a key tuned djembe and a traditional djembe. What's the difference between the two?
A key tuned djembe has a more modern look and the design is less intricate because it doesn't use ropes. In order to tune it, you have to use a wrench and tighten the bolts on the sides of the tuning djembe. You can instantly notice that the sides have a metal rim and hooks that attach at certain points around the rim. You have to use the wrench in order to tune it.
Many beginners prefer <a href="http://www.djembedrumsonline.com/">key tuned djembe</a>s because they don't have the experience necessary to tune up a traditional djembe. Tuning the instrument is also very easy. You just use a wrench and tighten the bolts on each hook until you get the right pitch. The bolts and the metal rims on the side add more weight to the tuning djembe and do take away from the looks of the instrument.
The traditional djembe on the other hand uses ropes. It is also called a roped djembe so don't forget it's one and the same. The first thing you notice about these djembe drums is that there is a rope around the head of the instrument. This really adds to the look of the djembe and many enthusiasts prefer this look.
Unlike the keytuned version, the roped djembe is tuned by tightening the ropes around the head. You'll notice that because it is tuned this way, you won't notice any tuning forks sticking out on the sides of the instrument. The way this works is that the rope places tension on the head and pulls it together. You tune it by pulling the knots and rope into a weave.
Many people prefer the traditional djembe because it is simply one of those instruments that stand out. The roped version really adds to the overall look of the instrument. After playing the instrument for some time, tuning it with the rope is fairly easy. It's just a matter of repeating the process over and over again.
At the end of the day, it's really up to you whether to get the key tuned djembe or the traditional one. The key difference between the two is that you have to learn how to tune the ropes in the traditional version and the key tuned version is heavier. The best advice is that you may want to play the instrument for some time before deciding which one to get.
