Description
Overview
The Tycoon Percussion Master Platinum Fade Series Bongos are professional-grade percussion instruments designed for musicians who demand both sonic excellence and a striking visual presence. Crafted from hand-selected, aged Siam Oak, these bongos deliver a rich, resonant tone that cuts through a mix while maintaining a warm, organic character.
Beyond their acoustic properties, the Master Platinum Fade series is defined by its luxurious aesthetic. A multi-layered, super high-gloss finish is meticulously polished to a mirror-like shine, integrated with shimmering grains that create a sophisticated sparkling effect, making these bongos as much a centerpiece for the stage as they are a tool for the studio.

Installation
These bongos arrive ready for final tuning to your preference. Use the included tuning wrench to adjust the 5/16″ diameter lugs. To ensure head longevity, tighten the lugs in a cross-pattern (star pattern) to apply even tension across the water buffalo skin heads.
