This is the djembe I purchased in December, 2000. It was made in the Ivory Coast by African Tempo. This is an ashiko built by a friend, Pete during March, 2002. The lock stich was put in on March 22, after this was taken. This is the Ashiko I built in October 2001. It makes a great travel drum, being light and narrower. The ashiko shells are made by a Seattle area craftsman.
