Afroton Dondo
Hand-crafted talking drum from Ghana with two goat skins and a tunable rope system – squeeze the ropes to shift the pitch.
Product Description
The Afroton AST 405 Dondo Talking Drum is a hand-crafted drum from Ghana, carved from a single trunk and fitted with two goat skins. A tunable rope system runs between the heads, and squeezing the ropes while you play lets you shift the pitch in real time – the effect that gives talking drums their distinctive "talking" voice.
- Hand-carved body from a single trunk
- Two goat skins
- Tunable rope system for pitch control
- Wide range of distinct pitches by squeezing the ropes
- Made in Ghana
By varying the pressure on the ropes with your arm while striking the head with the other hand, you can produce sliding, almost speech-like phrases – a sound that's hard to get from any other drum. That makes the AST 405 a good pick for players exploring West African percussion or looking to add a distinctive expressive voice to their playing.
