Nothing wrong with that one, jd...could be you have an authentic African djembe (mine is a no-name special, too)...play it loud and play it proud, bro'...
It's nothing much, 8'', rope tuned, and apparently no brand haha. It's really nice and sounds great! I'll have pictures as soon as I get back to the theater where I'm working in the pit as the primary percussionist.
It's a classic.

It depends on what kind of djembe you want, MM...I paid $165 for mine in 2001, and, as I said before, it is a handmade African djembe with the kinte cloth and rope tuning...
These days, Remo, LP and other companies make djembes that are tuned with a drum key or wrench depending on the model, and they come in wood or fiberglass shells in a variety of sizes and finishes, with either skin or synthetic heads (Remo's FiberSkyn, for example)...depending on all these factors, the price could be anywhere from $100 to $200 (or more)...
If you haven't seen this yet, man, here's a link to a review I did a while back on a couple of djembes...http://www.drumchat.com/showthread.p...toca-1370.html
Good luck, bro'!

Congrats and welcome to the world of hand percussion!
Just to fore warn you.....
You start by buying a djembe... then you'll buy some congas...then you'll buy an Ashiko....then you'll buy...well, you see where this is heading.
HAPPY SHOPPING JD09!!!
I picked it up at a flea market outside of town. It was only $20 and it sounded really cool so I said what the heck, I'm getting it. It has some very beautiful artwork on it also.
It's a classic.
