Setup Notes
Installation
The Matador Bongos arrive ready for minimal setup. To prepare the instrument for play:

- Positioning: Ensure the bongos are seated comfortably between the knees or on a dedicated bongo stand for optimal ergonomics.
- Maintenance: Periodically check the tension of the heads, as temperature and humidity changes may affect the tuning of the oak shells.
