High quality for great price
I bought several of these for djembe lessons and playing in a djembe circle. High quality, good looks, nice and groovy sound. But I'd prefer Thomann NN32 Djembe to this one due to even more rich sound and more variable loudness for play.
I've had couple of these instruments for around 3 years for use with my students and this djembe is a true survivor, not a scratch! I only had to re-tune them couple of times which is natural and easily doable.

Great drum for the money - improves with age.
After a year of use I've really come to appreciate this djembe; great sound and great value for money. It's well-constructed from solid wood with a decent head and good ropework. The sound (and/or my playing) has improved over the year; I use the djembe for home studio recording (double-mic'd) and people in pro studios often comment on the solidity and tone on the track...it's also great fun to jam with...inspiring. I'm not a real expert with drums but I've been very happy with this one and recommend it.
I rated 4 for sound and quality as I'm sure there are better drums at higher prices but the Schalloch gets top overall marks for it's value in context.

Djembe worth having
We looked and looked for the best djembe to buy. Debating over quality and price we decided on the schalloch 700 12". It's in constant use whether the professional drummer or our 2 year son.
The design and colour really caught our eyes and it looks exactly like the pictures. The sound is superb - Even if played with a good few instruments. Crisp to bass sound! This djembe is my favourite so far (we've had a few pass by). Highly recommend!!

Good price-quality ratio
As for the esthetic part it is very well designed, the wood is fine carved..
This djembe has the lowest price for this sound quality and for my needs in this moment I am pleased with the quality..
But if I had to change something I would want for my djembe to have more bass sound regarding more profundity in lower range, and also what I found important (as an amateur of course)...the convex perimeter part of the ring on top is too big (too wide) for me to achieve the whole sound spectar that I can usually accomplish while playing this instrument, it shoud a be thinner area so when I slam it with my fingers I get a higher sound..But for this price maybe I'm asking too much, nevertheless I am glad I bought it.
Thank you!

Useful and decorative
We were looking for something like this and this was the cheapest I could find at the time. Nevertheless it does the job very well.
We are very pleased with it.
If you have not used one before then you to lift it from the floor to get the best sound. If it rests on a flat surface (covering the hole at the bottom) then most of the sound is lost.
