<p>[QUOTE="2manybooks, post: 4111893, member: 8267"]A djembe has a single head, and is held between the drummer's knees. These drums have double heads, and are designed to hang around the neck and be played with a hand on each end. They look more SE Asian/Indonesian to me, with the central portion made of bamboo. The designs look more typical of that region as well. I don't have time at the moment to look further, but here is another one on ebay. Unfortunately the seller has no more useful information:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRKzZ6JsOEeMYyXSCMKhQSdV6rZc9GXgRv0Tg&usqp=CAU" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><a href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Hand-Drum-Bamboo-2-Sided-/333524580738" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Hand-Drum-Bamboo-2-Sided-/333524580738" rel="nofollow">https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Hand-Drum-Bamboo-2-Sided-/333524580738</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
