Meinl Percussion Rubber Wood Natural Finish Bongos with Buffalo Heads, Gold Hardware

Meinl's wood bongos are crafted with exceptional attention to detail, delivering a premium playing experience for both professionals and intermediate musicians. These instruments feature hand-selected buffalo heads that produce a captivating blend of sharp highs and warm tones, all while being easily tunable.

Constructed from environmentally sustainable rubber wood, the shells boast a lightweight and rugged design that resonates with voluminous tones. The natural finish wood shells are outfitted with high-quality gold-tone hardware, showcasing the craftsmanship and attention to aesthetic appeal.

The rubberwood stave shells, available in a natural gloss finish, are meticulously assembled using uniform qualities like color and grain to ensure a consistent sound across the two drums. The precise proportions of the shells allow the bongos to complement each other with distinct pitches, offering versatility and tonal nuance.

At the heart of these bongos are the hand-selected buffalo skin heads, which provide a classic sound and exceptional playing feel. The response from these heads is characterized by dynamic warmth, depth, and sharp highs, delivering an outstanding performance experience. The drum heads measure 6 ¾" and 8", further enhancing the tonal range and expression.

The bongos feature Meinl's innovative rounded rims, crafted from 2 mm gold-tone plated steel. These rims sit lower than traditional bongo rims and feature a rounded edge, providing enhanced comfort and control for the player. This design helps to avoid unwanted contact with the rim, ensuring a smooth and seamless playing experience.

Maintaining the traditional construction methods that have been favored by top recording and touring artists for decades, the two individual drums are connected with a solid wood block. This traditional solid block connection ensures a secure and reliable attachment, allowing the bongos to be used with any standard bongo stand.

Whether you're expanding your percussion setup, adding bongos to your drum kit, or performing acoustic music, Meinl's wood bongos are engineered with professional-level materials and specifications to elevate your musical expression. These instruments are a testament to Meinl's commitment to crafting high-quality percussion tools that empower musicians to bring their creative visions to life.
