The small NINO18G/Y by Nino Percussion is the perfect percussion instrument for your toddler to pick up and play. It's a brightly-coloured green and yellow djembe made entirely of synthetic materials. Djembes originated in Africa, and were once used as a means of communication between different tribes. This particular model has an 8-inch diameter, and was designed especially for children ages 5 and up. Its ABS plastic shell ensures the instrument is as durable as can be, and the pre-tuned synthetic drumhead allows you or your young one to start playing right away. This small djembe, designed especially for the little ones, offers a big sound and comes with a handy nylon carrying strap!
