When there are 2 or 3 djembe playing together, do they have to be tuned differently? If yes, how?
Is it dunun depended? Which is the right pitch? There are no guidelines anywhere about djembe pitches. Searching for Congas i found some D G A tunings suggested by pofessional players. I cant get my djembe to sound clear over the bell and dununs, even if i slap like a maniac. I have heard some other djembes that sound crystal clear when they solo over 8 or 10 other instruments.
