'My girlfriend secretly bought my first Cajon from Stuart at Waywood Music. Once i'd opened it, she couldn't wait to tell me about the quality of service she had received. The Cajon is perfect and I wrote a thank you email to Stuart to find that the service didn't stop there. He gave me instructional advice along with some online clips to watch as well as offering to answer any questions at any time. It's fantastic to find a company so passionate about the service they deliver. Would recommend them to anyone!

Thanks Again Waywood Music!'

'I contacted Waywood music while looking for a djembe to buy after reading the excellent guide on the web site. Not only did Stuart offer a range of djembes from the manufacturers I was interested in at lower prices than I had seen elsewhere, but soon made it clear that he was keen to ensure that I got the most suitable djembe for my needs rather than just to make a sale.

After numerous emails of invaluable advice and comparison, as well as audio samples and answers to my specific questions, I purchased a djembe from him and this promptly arrived safe and sound and was even better than I expected.

I would recommend Waywood to anyone wishing to purchase percussion instruments. Given the natural variability of handmade instruments, it is worth a lot to be able to trust the person you are buying from to pick out a good one for you, and on top of that to be priced so competitively is the icing on the cake.'

Djembes

Made from ecologically managed Iroka wood, these djembes produce crackling highs and slap tones with a deep resonant bass. We play them and we think they are the best!

PROFESSIONAL SERIES

KDJ103 Kambala Professional Djembe 10" x 19" - This 10-inch model is ideal for solo work, producing a higher fundamental bass tone and sharp slap strokes.  It also makes a great choice for serious drumming groups where most players are younger and require smaller drums.  These are professional instruments, reflected in their price, but still represent excellent value for money.


OUR PRICE:  £135.00 (RRP £159.00)
Courier Delivery if required UK ONLY £11.00

Total Cost to you ... £146.00

A highly flexible drum well suited to both younger and older players.

'I was a little bit afraid to 'play my luck' and order an instrument through the internet, without trying it out, but because I wanted to get a Kambala one - which I couldn`t find anywhere else - I decided to give it a go. To give the full picture I also must mention it that I had a bad experience with another (probably more famous) company, who have made me wait 2 months on my order, which I have finally cancelled.

What a breath of fresh air was to have an immediate response from Mr. Stuart after I`ve placed my order, who has assured me that there were a number of items in stock on my order, and that he was going to handpick one. After I checked on the internet that he was a professional percussionist with lots of great recommendations and experience I was glad to have made my choice with Waywood.

My order has arrived within 3 days!! This djembe sounds awesome!!!! It has a beautiful base and very nice slap strokes...Everybody whom are playing together are just lovin' it!!! I don`t think I could have chosen a better one. Thank you!'

(GN Taunton, UK)
