Description

  • OUR MOST SOLID BONGOS: their hard-to-damage, thick synthetic shells can take a lot more abuse than traditional wood; plus, they won't expand or contract during changes in weather which can affect tuning
  • WHY IT MATTERS: for most beginner and even advanced players, you need bongos that do it all without needing a lot of maintenance; from jamming in the park with friends to open mic night to recording, these bongos are always ready to go
  • ONE TAKEAWAY: their sound doesn’t fall short of wood bongos because we use humanely sourced buffalo rawhide for the heads; most higher-end bongos have the same heads, so you're getting consistent, authentic sound full of warmth, depth, and clarity
  • HOW TO ADJUST PITCH: includes a tuning wrench to make quick adjustments or head changes if needed; tighten the four steel lugs on each shell for a higher pitch and loosen them to drop pitch (bongos come pre-tuned)
  • BY THE NUMBERS: the heads measure 6 ½” and 7 ½” (an industry standard); the bongos are 7" tall and weigh 6.3 lbs with a standard size synthetic connection block that fits any stand (bongo stand sold separately)
  • ZOOM IN: our rounded rims sit below the heads so your hands don't make contact with the steel hardware while playing; you can fully engage without hurting your palms
  • THE BOTTOM LINE: they'll do the trick anywhere like acoustic shows, studios, in praise bands or campsite sing-alongs, and it doesn't matter what your skill level is; they're easy to play whether you're a drummer or singer with no percussion experience
  • THE BIG PICTURE: Meinl is a family-owned musical instrument manufacturer and brand established 1951 in Germany; our expert German designers have deep relationships with our builders to ensure you're delivered the absolute finest quality
