Best place to buy rope for African drums?

« on: November 29, 2007, 11:14 PM »

I'm looking for 4 mm and 5 mm polyester rope in tasty colors / patterns to rebuild some African drums (djembe, bougarabou).

What's a good online source?

P.S. Would also like to find some authentic fabric to wrap the rings.

Thanks!

I don't know about on-line. I always get my nylon cord from a local outdoor sporting store in their climbing department.

I have no idea if you have a place like that near you, but it might be worth looking around. I buy the cord by the foot, any amount I need. They also come in an assortment of colors.
