We are doing our best to restock this product as soon as possible.
A very thick goat skin is suitable for a djembe with a striking diameter of more than 34 cm.
This type of skin is generally appreciated by percussionists who are looking for round tonics and drier slaps.
These skins are selected in slaughterhouses where they are directly shaved after being degreased, before being naturally dried.
They retain all their original freshness and quality, but may require a little cleaning during soaking before assembly to eliminate any possible disturbing aspects such as:
– animal odour: change the soaking water several times, possibly add a little scented bleach.
– deformation: your skin will return to its original shape when soaked (dried on the ground, it may have taken on the shape of a stone or an object that was there)
– traces of paint: erase them after mounting your skin with sandpaper or a razor blade (this is a residue of marking traces used by breeders to recognise their animals)

These natural skins sometimes present minor defects with no consequences, neither on their quality nor on the sound of your instrument.
