MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS
All our musical instruments are authentic professional instruments from West Africa. The craftsmen who built them are descended from families who have produced the same artifacts for generations. They have mastered the techniques of selecting materials and building quality instruments through the years. We have classified the instruments in 4 separate sections. You can get more information about each of these instruments via a link within each instrument picture gallery, including: brief history, description, tuning, detailed pictures, assembling process, and more.
