Hello, I have received my package which was placed in a simple box at the pickup point I chose. The cover meets my expectations, even the durability over time.

Hello, we ordered natural wooden chocalhos and not black ones. Moreover, one of them was scratched. We kept them because we need them quickly. But still disappointed. Delivery okay
Translated reviews
Response from Djoliba
Hello, it is imperative to write to us directly upon receipt of the package, if there was an error we can modify it immediately and find a solution quickly. For this order, we sent the chocalhos directly from the supplier, we did not see the package and its contents. After research (to find the error) we found that it was a reference error (inversion) that caused you to receive black chocalhos instead of natural wood ones. With all our apologies for this error independent of our will. Have a good day, musically, Kris.

Very, very important delivery delay. I am still waiting for my package since before mid-February
Translated reviews
Response from Djoliba
Hello, sorry for the inconvenience. We did send your package on 10/02 (following your order of 6/02). We only became aware of the issue on 3/03 following this message posted on guaranteed reviews. We deduce that there is a problem with the carrier. We managed to locate the package and at the same time we were able to fulfill this order. It is imperative that if there is a problem with the delivery, people write to us directly so that we can resolve it more quickly. Have a good day, musically, Kris.

I was expecting a rather thick skin and I received a normal skin....
Translated reviews
Response from Djoliba
Hello,

The thickness of a skin is always delicate. For us, it's thick and for you it may be 'normal'; a medium can be considered thin according to our standards.

It would be best to call us beforehand so we can agree on the thickness you expect. We'll do better next time ;) . My number: 0534272011

Have a nice day,

Musically,

Kristof

Djoliba's attention is always great, both in the preparation of the package and in the shipping, I was surprised that the package was very damaged externally and closed on the side with tape from the French postal service, the instrument was not damaged. I imagine the problem occurred when the package was already in the courier's hands.

The stick was too thin and poorly calibrated, twisted, making it difficult to use, not meeting my expectations so I returned it.

Response from Djoliba
No worries about the return. Don't forget that the cactus is a natural element and can therefore grow crooked ;) : not necessarily straight. Please feel free to give us details before delivery so that we can make the selection based on your comments and wishes. Without any information from the customer, we send what we have in stock prioritizing the sound.

Very disappointed with the product. A rather reduced rattle even though it is noted double roots, 120 gr... In the end, very expensive. However, the sound remains pleasant.

This is not a real instrument but a toy for tourists.
Translated reviews
Response from Djoliba
It is an instrument where it is indicated that it needs to be adjusted, get your hands in it to make it sound. Given the price yes, it is not high-end. All the information is provided to allow you to make your choice before ordering it.

There is also a phone number that can also help you learn more before placing an order.

Instrument "guembri" not compliant.. A broken tuning key, a pine bridge!!! Asymmetrical and poorly sized! And the strings are too old and fraying. Even at -50% it hurts the budget for an instrument that needs to be completely restored.. "sold as new"
Translated reviews
Response from Djoliba
It is indicated that given the price: "Some adjustments are of course necessary, given the very low price" and "If you are looking for a higher-end gembri please contact us we have other models in store."

And in bold it is indicated: Note that this model is sold as is. some defects, sometimes necessary to get your hands dirty to restore it hence a broken price!!!! It WILL NOT BE RETURNED OR EXCHANGED

The shipment was quick. The instruments contained in the package were protected and cushioned with paper. Despite this, I found a broken plant case. Out of the fifty that the instrument has, it's not a big deal, but it justifies the 4 stars instead of 5.

It's not your fault but the delivery man delivered when we weren't there. He called and told me that we had received a message for delivery. Yes, an e-mail at 9.20am the same day. How can you make arrangements like that? As a result, the parcel was dropped off at our neighbor's house, but I wasn't able to check it until the evening. Fortunately there was no problem apart from the parcel being half-opened to see what was inside...

The parcel was well and quickly received, a quality product. However, my question concerning the maintenance of the guembri and whether you have products to do this remained unanswered. Yet you emphasize your role as an advisor for musical instruments. Thank you in any case for the prompt and careful dispatch of the guembri cover.
Translated reviews
Response from Djoliba
Hello Bouchaib,
We apologize for the late reply.
Regarding gembri maintenance, there is no specific product. However, you can nourish the wood with linseed oil or even olive oil.
Don't hesitate to contact us by phone for advice or requests.
We hope to have met your expectations,
See you soon,

The order took over a fortnight to arrive. In the end, I had to send part of it back because the timbao was dented. This was unfortunate, especially as I wanted to use a regional store and avoid ordering via Thomann or Woodbrass. I'm still waiting for my money back.
Translated reviews
Response from Djoliba
Hello Mr Leyri,

You placed an order for several items, two of which were unfortunately out of stock. We informed you of the additional delay this would entail. Therefore, I do not understand the source of your dissatisfaction since you were informed of this situation.

You received the timba damaged in transit, for which we are truly sorry. Unfortunately, this type of incident is beyond our control.

We've been shipping orders for 25 years and, despite our experience, problems with transport or item availability do occur. It happens, even with Thomann or Woodbrass, who had no stock available for timba. It's important not to jump to conclusions that don't reflect the day-to-day reality of a small company like ours.

Have a nice day,

Musically,

Kristof

I'm satisfied with the tumba skin, but less so with the bongo skin (macho), which I didn't manage to fit. 30 cm diameter instead of 25 cm wouldn't be a luxury.

Hello Lionel,
Thank you for your confidence in us.
We would like to inform you that this skin is also available in 32 cm diameter (PEAU-CG02A).

at first it was very difficult to order via the site because the order page was not scrolling and this is not a story of personal Internet connection it is a question of server layout . The parcel arrived but the product itself was really very bad I bought a quadruple Jew's harp and 3D Jew's harp doesn't work and they were completely almost folded so damaged I confess that really I have the laziness to return them to you but I lost 30 euros I'm not sure to recommend a product from you sorry .
