Features
Durable Synthetic Shells (Black)
For a strong dose of ruggedness, the Meinl Journey Series bongos are made with synthetic shells that stand up to changes in weather and common traveling hazards while delivering resonance, projection, clarity and warmth
Hand-Selected Buffalo Skin Heads for a Classic Sound
Outfitted with natural hand-selected buffalo skin heads, the response you get is full of dynamic warmth and depth along with sharp highs and an outstanding feel - the heads measure 6.5" and 7.5"
Rounded Rims (Black Powder Coated Steel)
Rounded rims sit lower than traditional bongo rims and feature a rounded edge for comfort and control - this design helps you avoid harsh or unwanted contact with the rim as you play with your hands
Traditional Solid Block Connection (Synthetic)
The two individual drums are attached with a solid block connection, a style that has been utilized for decades among top recording and touring artists - this connection block will work with any bongo stand
Includes Tuning Wrench
Four tunable 8 mm lugs on each drum allow you to dial-in your desired pitch easily - a tuning wrench is included with these bongos for quick, on-the-spot adjustments or head changes
