The Jumbie Jam is a high quality, entry level steel pan.
It’s smaller than a full size Steel Drum and has 8 notes, which are labelled and tuned to the scale of G. A blend of simple design, durability and ease of teaching/learning makes the Jumbie Jam a fantastic instrument for music education… and the pupils love it!
The steel pan is very accessible and has both percussive and melodic musical capabilities, creating a well-rounded musical experience.
