I started tuning and re-skinning djembes for fellow students at the City College of San Francisco back in the early 2000s. I have since been doing it on my own. I have tuned and re-skinned a number of drums over the years from ashikos to djembes, congas, and even bongos. Below is a simple table as what my fees are and the various skin types offered. Prices have not changed since I started on yelp back in 2013.
