Millenium 12" Hand Drum Tunable

First impressions are not great, as there are some manufacture defects with the wood frame which imply that the instrument was likely made as cheaply as possible.
Upon some time spent with the instrument, from the point of view of an amateur percussionist, the sound is quite good with pleasant tonal characteristics. I can't fault it for that.
The build quality is the biggest let-down, but for this price I can not fault it. I would recommend it to a beginner, but if someone is more serious about pursuing the instrument long term, they may find a better built instrument to be a worthwhile investment.
