We are a business run by musicians for musicans, so whether you need a top quality djembe drum, a handmade xylophone, a sweet toned kalimba, a noseflute or a complete Brazilian samba kit we have played it, compared it, taken it to pieces and put it back together again! There's plenty of tuition to help you on your way - tutors for didjeridu, bodhran, bongo, conga, darabuka, tabla, marimba, mbira, samba, djembe or cajon.
We can't claim to be experts in every field of world music, just enthusiasts who are keen to make a wider world of music accessible to all, with respect and support to the communities of origin. So we wish you a happy shopping experience at Knock on Wood with sound and video samples to help you with your choices
