Unfortunately, the leather is not of the best quality, as there are 2 burn marks on the usable part, one of which is an ugly brown spot, about 12 mm in diameter. It doesn't look very good on the otherwise beautiful white leather on the djembe. The leather is cut in several places, which results in thinning. The sound is good by the way, the leather is not too thick, but it resonates well, the highs are bouncy, the lows are defined. Based on the above, I think it's a bit expensive.
