Description

  • HAND-CRAFTED IN AFRICA BY VILLAGE CULTURAL ARTISANS - This line of Classic Heartwood Carved Conga drums by Africa Heartwood Project add a whole new dimension to Afro-Cuban, Latin, and Congolese drumming. After import from Africa, each instrument is cleaned, inspected, tuned, and played individually to check sound and quality.
  • SOLID ONE-PIECE CONSTRUCTION WITH SHAVED COW SKIN HEAD – Handcarved from a single piece of Mansonia wood and headed with unprocessed, thick cow skin for a rich, full bass sound. This hand drum features cloth-wrapped flesh and bottom rings to protect both the skin and rope. The wood is treated with oil and sealed with lacquer to help it acclimate and prevent cracking.
  • COMFORTABLE PLAYING – With a 10" playable surface and a 12" total outside diameter including the tuning rings, this 10"x24" Classic Heartwood Conga musical instrument is 24" in height, shorter than a standard conga, making it more comfortable to play while seated in a standard chair. The outside diameter of the base opening is about 8.5".
  • FULLY TUNABLE RING AND ROPE TENSION SYSTEM – Equipped with a tunable ring and rope tension system. The bearing edge is rounded for long skin life and comfort while playing. It also features a rope handle for easy transportation, a wide mid-body and narrow base opening to enhance tone and amplify bass resonance, and a ledge carved to keep the bottom ring in position as tension is applied.
  • SUPPORTING COMMUNITY AND TRADITION – Our musical instruments and accessories are unique. All our products are hand-crafted in Africa by village cultural artisans. Each purchase contributes directly to Africa Heartwood Project, supporting the livelihoods of communities in Africa. This non-profit, run by passionate volunteers, fights poverty and promotes community development in West Africa. Your choice makes a difference, blending the joy of music with social impact.
