Meinl Percussion HB50GB Bongos Hand Drum Set - 6.5" & 7.5" Synthetic Shells with Tuning Key - Journey Series - Not Made in China - 2 Year Warranty - Perfect for Latin Music, Live Performances & Music Education

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 you get to play more without hassle since the bongos require little to no maintenance; Journey Series Bongos are always ready to go from beaches to parks to open mic night

ONE TAKEAWAY their sound doesn’t fall short of wood bongos by using buffalo 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; tighten the steel tension rods for a higher pitch and loosen to drop pitch (bongos come pre-tuned but may require some adjustment)

SIZE 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
