Installation
To install the Fiberskyn Bongo Head, first remove the existing head by loosening the tension rods. Clean the bearing edge of the bongo shell to ensure a flat, debris-free surface for the new head to seat against. Place the Fiberskyn head over the shell, ensuring it is centered perfectly.
Tighten the tuning lugs in a cross-pattern (star pattern) to apply even tension across the head. Continue adjusting until the desired pitch and tension are achieved, checking frequently to ensure the head remains centered.
Compatibility
This head is designed specifically for bongo drums with a shell diameter of 7.15 inches. It is fully compatible with Latin Percussion bongos and other percussion instruments that utilize a standard 7.15-inch bearing edge.
