Installation
Replacing your bongo head is a straightforward process. Begin by loosening the tension rods of your existing head until it can be removed from the shell. Place the new Rawhide Bongo Head over the bearing edge, ensuring it is centered. Gradually tighten the tuning lugs in a cross-pattern to ensure even tension across the skin, avoiding over-tightening to preserve the longevity of the rawhide.
Compatibility
This replacement head is designed specifically for use with the Latin Percussion City Series bongo drums. Please verify your drum model to ensure a proper fit.
