That is super cool.id I learned how to use one of those back in the days my djembe's would have been super tuned and sounding like lightening. That is a cool pulling equipment.that and the pulling table are the best thing since thee invention of sliced bread
What an awesome tool! Only problem i see is how it grabs the rope to tighten? I have a bougarbou with a much thicker skin and it requires a lot more muscle to stretch the head than on a djembe. I could see after a lot of use, that the cleat that grabs the rope, will begin to shred the rope? I have used manual cleat pullers before, and also attached a cleat to a long bar, which makes pulling verticals easier, however it shreds rope too. I loosen my heads after playing, and tighten to tune during use. Am 72 with back problems, and have a harder time tuning as I've gotten older. I use my standard congas more often at gigs now as they can be tuned with a wrench, but i sure miss the sound of my rope tuned bougarbou's! I specified the dimensions of those drums, and had Drumskulls in Santa Cruz, Ca. use their carvers in Africa to create the shells. They sourced the skins, and did all the head and rope work, and shipped the drums to me in Hawaii. Those folks produce some of the most amazing drums for anyone looking to purchase fantastic sounding instruments? Ive been playing professionally for over 50 yrs.,and have made a few of my own drums, so i do have some experience with drums. Your tool design is the best I've seen available for djembes. Can't speak about durability because i don't own one to test. Thanks for sharing!🤙
Thank you. Currently, the anti slip nails on the tools may cause damage to the ropes when subjected to excessive tension. For example, if the pulling force exceeds 150 kilograms. I have been searching for a better anti slip nail and currently have a new design that is being tested. I hope it can be produced smoothly this year. Please follow my Facebook, thank you again!
