Installation
These bongos arrive ready for assembly and tuning. Use the included tuning wrench to tighten the 1/4″ diameter lugs. To achieve the best tone, tighten the lugs in a cross-pattern (star pattern) to ensure the water buffalo skin heads are tensioned evenly across the shell. Avoid over-tightening to preserve the longevity of the natural skins.
