Djembe tuning is a simple thing to do with a professional well mounted quality authentic Djembe.
North American Djembe-like hand drum manufacturers, often use Djembe tuning as one of the marketing tools to have novice players stay away from authentic Djembes.
The only thing you may need to do on a quality authentic Djembe, is the easy final tuning steps explained above.
Verticals tightening are only done once (If authentic quality Djembe), and should be done by the craftsmen/seller, since it is part of the Djembe original mounting steps.
