Meinl Percussion Bongo Drums are crafted with durable synthetic shells and natural buffalo skin heads, providing a warm, authentic tone. Built for versatility, they suit practice, recording, and live performances, whether you're a beginner or seasoned musician.
The synthetic shells resist weather and travel wear, maintaining tuning stability across environments. The buffalo heads deliver rich, full sound with depth and clarity, comparable to traditional wood bongos. Fine-tune easily with the included wrench, adjusting the four 8 mm lugs for desired pitch. The 6.5" and 7.5" heads are industry standard, with a height of 7" and weight of 6.3 lbs, fitting any stand (sold separately). Rounded rims below the heads prevent hand contact with hardware, ensuring comfortable play. Perfect for acoustic shows, studio sessions, praise bands, or campsite sing-alongs, these bongos are accessible for all skill levels. Meinl, established in Germany in 1951, guarantees top quality through expert design and craftsmanship.
