Is a handmade drum very expensive?

The price of our drums is very reasonable...

Our handmade drums are high-quality because every piece of wood is manually sorted and selected, a traditional process that takes time. Each drum passes countless times through the hands of the maker. The choice for recycled wood can then help to reduce the price a bit. But above all, there are no expensive import taxes, transport costs or overhead costs that, with competitors from other parts of the world, are of course included in the price. That is why these drums can be kept affordable.

Is the shop always open?
