Up for sale is a rare, discontinued Meinl wood-covered doumbek, the HE-3400.  Meinl Doumbeks come from the same geographical points of origin as the darbukas, and are a favorite choice of drum for percussionists world-wide. Meinl doumbeks feature an ergonomic, Egyptian-style rounded rim with internal tuning lugs and a synthetic head. The bearing edge is carefully machined to assure consistent tuning. The doumbeks are well suited for fast finger-roll techniques and have a strong projection. The shells are constructed from various materials, each offering a wide range of timbres, weights and visual aesthetics.
The shell of this Meinl Doumbek is made from aluminum and is completely covered with a layer of the finest wood. Combined with its synthetic head, it ensures a warm and smooth tone with lots of low end and less ringing highs.
Size: 8 1/2" x 17 1/8"
